I’m blogging this mainly for my own benefit, so I can look it up easily whenever I need to:
If you’d like to disable security errors generated from accessing local content in Chrome (ex. reading pixels from a local image), just launch it with the “–disable-web-security” param. So on OSX, you’d type this into Terminal:
open /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app –args -disable-web-security
It lasts until you close Chrome. Handy for testing EaselJS content on your local file system.
Update: I’ve posted a .command file that you can double click in the Finder to run this more easily here.
Grant, easel is soooooooo awesome!!! thanks for that! cheers;)
Useful add-on for Firefox that does a similar thing:

Thanks! I needed this yet had no idea that it even existed.
Thanks for this Grant.
First off, I love your work with CreateJs.com – awesome stuff, real life saving stuff!
Mine I had to enter like this:
open -a /Users/mccabew/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app –args -disable-web-security
(it needed the .app after application and double – before args)
