Hm. Just a side thought on that - again, making it difficult rather than impossible. Use the same FP9 idea - loading via a binary socket - but instead of using Blowfish or something heavyweight to decrypt, just split the source .swf into chunks on the server, load each chunk seperately, reassemble and loadBytes on the client side.
Easy to get around if you know what's going on, granted. But no longer just a case of lifting a cached file from somewhere and renaming it to SWF. Particularly if you're clever about how the chunks are ordered. Just a thought. :-) Ian On 7/18/07, Jon Bradley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The most difficult method I am aware of is by using FP9 (AS3) and Loader.loadBytes (combined with ByteArray). You could use a secured socket connection and load binary data, decrypted through ByteArray and a client-server handshake (say Blowfish as the encryption method - it'll just take forever to decrypt the data). That still won't protect you. All one needs is a packet sniffer to get the data (including any keys or other information) and use the SWF that loaded the data in the first place to decrypt it. It'll take a bit longer to get the file (a long time if implemented properly) but you can still get the file. http://www.bytearray.org/?p=32 good luck. - jon _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
