how to make a gatekeeper for flash files that don't let the movie play if the file is running on a forbidden site? Example: Original content located in: [URL] if another site include that example.swf, it redirects to: [URL] I need to do that to malicious people don't steal my bandwidth or just steal my games or any other flash content. btw my site: [URL]

View 3 RepliesI want to limit my SWF file so that it cannot be stolen and hosted on another server. So if the domain serving the SWF file isn't on a list of approved domains, the SWF will not load normally but will instead display a message that links to one of the approved locations. What I'm unsure about is how to access the domain that is hosting the file (or get the fully qualified URL of the file). If You know how to get that information, I'm using Flash CS4 to compile the code targeting FP 9.
View 2 RepliesI'm still a beginning in flash in general and I'm attempting to strengthen the protection of my .swf file.One of the ideas I had was to split the .swf file up, to so speak; creating a new swf with sensitive, but vital functions and values, storing it on my webserver, and having the launcher request the files after passing a few verification processes. Only flaw in this idea, is I have no idea how to add a class (if that's the right term?) to my project. I reversed another .swf file which included the same method using Base64 encryption, but I'm not too sure how to add an external .as file to execute in my project.Of course, I've also found additional methods, such as using DCOMSoft SWF Protector (which wouldn't do much good) and obfuscation programs (which, too, can be reversed). I've recently found out about a .SWC called AS3Crypto, which I have no idea how to use. I've added the file to my AS3 Properties, but that's as far as I have gotten. The rest of AS3Crypto and its mysteries remain vague to me, and I am unable to find any useful information via Google.
I would really like to split the .swf into parts having them in different areas to make it more difficult to reverse, but I am not too sure how effective that would be, let alone how to actually do it. In regards to the external class (terminology?), since I was unable to find how to implement it with my project, I thought of salvaging the functions from the reversed .swf I have found and adding them into my internal script. Even then, the package begins with public class $Base64 extends Object -- extendsI assume simply adds additional functionality to objects, but I do not believe this is entirely necessary.
Is there any way to protect against hackers that load up swf and modify values in memory?
View 6 RepliesHas anyone used Flash Secure Optimizer to protect their SWF files? I read an article about it online, how reliable the article was.
Basically, I just want to take precaution from my SWF file being decompiled and/or reverse engineered.
I've always found it very annoying that Flash takes over the write protection of files that has been used, and suddenly felt an urge to do something about it. I'm not sure if it always happen on all computers but at least most of the times I can't rename a folder if a fla-file in it at some point have been opened in Flash if Flash is still running. So I have to close Flash in order to rename or move files.

View 14 RepliesI've spend the last 6 months developping a Flash (CS4 / Flash v10) game. As I'm now ready to publish it online, I would like to ensure that my actionscript code is safe. Hence my questions are: - Is the CS4 built-in password protection safe? (I guess not given that my actionscript still needs to be executed hence has to be readable for the client)
- What are the best options to further protect my code? (I guess obfuscation is the most common approach: which obfuscators are good?)
I wanted to find out how my intellectual property, such as graphic designs, photos, tweens designs, etc can be protected in a .swf flash file?.This is because there are .swf file decompliers which can very easily convert my files into .fla and so access can be gained to my jpeg designs, photos, etc.Is there a best practise which can be followed whereby some form of security measures can be taken within flash code, etc? And if so does anyone know what these measures are?
View 6 RepliesIf you want to use content on another server, that server needs to host a crossdomain.xml file allowing access. If this file isn't there, flash won't let you access it. Given that it's easy enough to just write a proxy (say a php script that curls the external URLs) what is the purpose of this restriction? It seems that the content is still 100% available to external people, but there is just one extra hoop to jump through.

I know there are programs capable of analize the pixel color of each square and auto resolve the game by play itself. Is anyway to protect against this?

- Detecting if keyboard Keys has been sent by a program?
- Maybe record player screen or manual review?

Flash 8, Actionscript 2.0 I wasn't exactly sure where to post this, but I figured here would be alright. I've got this image slideshow/scroller here, that grabs its data from a xml file on the server. nothing new, but the problem is that when i enable hotlinking protection with bluehost, firefox is unable to deal with the file. safari, opera, handle it fine. when hotlinking protection is disabled, firefox handles it fine.

View 4 RepliesI am profiling some AS code by measuring wall clock time. In order to minimize the error I need to run the code for a long period of time. However, flash seems to protect itself from unresponsive scripts by throwing an exception after some period of unresponsiveness, namely: Error #1502: A script has executed for longer than the default timeout period of 15 seconds.
Is there any way to disable this protection, or at least extend the timeout period?
I'm building an Adobe Air app that needs to load external images from different webservers. I have my basic loader function set up, but I encountered one server that wouldn't let me load it's images. it gave me the following error[url]...
After that I got in contact with the server's manager and he told me he had been working on some basisc hotlink protection for his images. He also told me that I could subvert this by supplying[url]... as the referrer when building the request headers.
First of all I found no trace of hotlink protection with online testapplications for hotlink protection. Secondly I have no idea how to set up what he told me with a simple Loader class function.[code]...

View 2 RepliesI know, yet another topic on protection. I think we've established the fact that you will almost always will be able to decompile a SWF, but that's not exactly what my question is about. I have a client who wants to show data (some html and css) in a Flash movie. This content will be delivered from an external source and will be passed through to the SWF. The main idea is not to be able to copy-paste the html. Of course, if you use a flashvar to pass the html-source or html-page to the SWF, it's easy to look it up in de pagecode. So perhaps a sollution is to encrypt the html before sending it through to the SWF and decrypt it inside the SWF. But of course, you would need some sort of key that's hardcoded inside the SWF file to decrypt the information ... which is a problem if you can decompile an SWF. So my question is, is there any way to encrypt data delivered to an SWF so it's impossible to directly access the data?

My users upload a certain kind of text file that sometimeshas references to images stored locally on their hard drive. I needto check this file either on the server or within a flash app tosee if it has these references and then grab those images in aflash app to upload to my server.So I can use FileReference easily enough to have users uploadlocal images. But FileReference requires users to select their files with a dialog box. I can't have that. Myusers wouldn't know where to look and there are typically way toomany files, sometimes with the same name but in differentdirectories.
I can also just use URLLoader with a local URL, I guess I canprobably just use Loader too? That works great. The problem here isI can't communicate with both the server and the local filesystemin the same flash application due to Flash's security sandboxrestrictions. So I can get out of those security restrictions byplacing or editing a trust file in designated locations on variousOSes. I then need to install this trust file which is more invasiveand confusing to users then I want to be...Java's method of accessing local files from a web applet bysimply signing the applet with a certificate and having a dialogbox popup where the users grants access is ideal.

View 6 RepliesI was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:[code]Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded? I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles.
View 6 RepliesI installed Flash CS4 Professional trial version for school use. It wouldn't install successfully. I deleted the font files the troubleshooting guide said to, tried again, but gave up. (I'm afraid to run regedit and mess up everything else I have loaded.) (I previously had the Fireworks CS4 trial version loaded, then uninstalled it.) My problem is this- I have it running, but it saves files and then they can't be opened, even if I use the save function often- it's worse when I create the file, test the movie and then save.If I try to open it again, it says "cannot open file." Once it opened a copy I had saved, and it appeared blank, even though it was 544 kb file size. I only need it for a few more days, one more assignment and I'm afraid my previous files are corrupt. I have Windows Vista Home Edition.
