Local file access from web player

Unity Engine
1

Ok, so here’s the situation: I plan on using the web player locally (running from a custom HTML page on a CD). Now, the problem is that I’d like to load some data from various binary files on the CD. As far as I know, file IO is disabled for the web player, and the WWW class only works with http based urls. Is this correct, and if so, there anything else I can use?

On another note, is there any page anywhere that lists the limitations of the web player? It took me a while to find the forum post that mentioned file IO wasn’t allowed.

Cheers!

If you are running a page from the local drive then you can use the WWW class to load any file from the hard drive using file://
Only when you are loading the unityweb file over the web you can’t access the local drive for security reasons.

So this should work out just fine for you.
