Hi! In general developers should think if they really want/need to obfuscate their Flash files. From the security perspective there is one very good reason to block especially obfuscated Flash files at content filters and firewalls: It could contain malicious data - if someone hides something it can only mean he want either attack my machine or my local network.
AS is meant to run client side. Therefor there should be a possibility to examine the code before execution, and if there's something fishy users/admins should rather block it since there is no reason I can think of where obfuscation is there for a good reason. I know that some Flash devs think they need to protect their IP. But thats actually something that could cause a major rejection of Flash in general: The more people obfuscate the more Flash gets completely banned from major networks. I know of cases where it already happens.
