We have developed a projector application which dynamically loads swf's. One
of these swf's calls an external site for stock quote information. The swf
functions properly when run in IE. However, when it is called by our
executable, we do not get the data expected. (undefined)

We have looked at the security settings options and have not found any results.

Any troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Generally communicating to server you need to guarantee an http: type of
argument to the AS commands. Not sure of the details but if the in IE you
have http:// to your swf, that would meet the requirement because it
inherits the url if you are doing relative addressing. The projector is not
inheriting any http protocol as it is launched from the local drive.

You might want to hard wire the
http://whatevercomain.com/serverscriptfilename to see if that changes it.

As for security issues I have found this article helpful is sorting them
out:
