yes, it is very easy to decrypt a CF file that has been encrypted within CF (using their encryption). I don't know as if Macromedia would appreciate anyone telling anyone where that is possible however. :-)

I could compile an archive on the file that was encrypted with an encrypted key that is dated a certain time period. It could work, and it would be alot of fun building! Question for everyone out there .. .I have never seen, but is it pretty easy to find tools to unencrypt a cf file? I am just curious if I want to go through the hassle of encrypting and making our applications available if it is just plain easy and available for developers to unencrypt and fix the checks.
