[Flashcoders] Re: protecting SWFs
As Tom explained, If your app loads external swf's you cannot protect them, you can only make them a little more difficult to access. Well, technically, there is a way... Fragment the assets in such a way that if a decompiler is used, the user ends up with unusable map fragments instead of usable chunks of maps... But yes, remember the limitations of content security with pertaining to flash. Ultimately, I think it's about implementing a certain level of hassle such that the bulk of your target demographic won't even bother trying to steal your content vs. actually paying for it.

[Flashcoders] Re: protecting maps in Flash
Yo. Adding scripts that do the following to each of your map content swfs should solve your problem: 1) Create an if-then statement that checks for a variable that your map loader swf will set. If this variable is not set to the proper value that your loader/viewer swf sets, make the map swf do sometjing ugly like turn invisible or something ;-P (._alpha=0;) *oh, set these variables to something else when the map .swf first loads, then have them communicate and request for the proper value from the loader swf upon completion of loading. This is so people who've decrypted the urls can't enter http://yourdomain.com/mapName.swf?variableToCheck=properValue; manually in the browser's url field. 2) Have each map .swf check whether it is loading from the proper url. If not, disable displaying it.
