Nutshell: I am working with a handful of FLVs for a tech demo that I am
creating and want to prevent them from being downloaded. Does anyone have a
good idea about how I can go about doing this?
Longer version: I have encoded FLVs sitting in a web directory (because
contentPath requires a
own checks are carried out
before any attachments are opened.

Hi Jeff,
You'll probably have to stick the FLV somewhere protected on the server
(outwith the webapp context, or under WEB-INF, for example) and write a
servlet to serve them, remembering to set the mime type
Okay, this is just a random idea and I can't offer code snippets because
I haven't successfully pulled it off. I have however thought about this
very issue the last couple weeks for one of my own projects. My idea was
to put the FLVs in a directory with a .htaccess file that passes all
requests
Wouldn't it be cool if the MediaDisplay component supported some kind
of authentication mechanism, at least for FLVs downloaded via HTTP?
mx:MediaDisplay contentPath=http://my.com/protected.flv;
username={httpUsername} password={httpPassword} /
Or:
mx:MediaDisplay
