ActionScript 2.0 :: Protecting SWF From Hotlinking Or Rehosting
Jun 17, 2005
I've made a game in flash that I want to upload onto my site but I don't want it to be able to get hotlinked to or hosted from/on another site.
What would be a good way to prevent this?
I first thought of getting a varible from a text file and using an IF function on load to check if that var was loaded but that would only prevent Hosting.
I then tried putting the var in the html code for the swf but that don't seem to work so well, when I refresh the page the movie randomly seems to play normally or goto my "this is stolen" screen.

Can an swf check to see what the url of the page in which it is embedded is? I don't care if other people host copies of the swf, but I dont want them to embed my copy in their pages, so I want to show some kind of default image if the html address is not my site

I need to add htaccess to my site, to stop hotlinking i.e
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www.)?davewhiteart.comindex.html [NC]
RewriteRule .(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ - [NC,F,L]
This seems to work on some browsers but on others.....the flash cannot access the files/images

I'm publishing a webcomic in Flash.swf format and I'd like to make it as easy as possible for people to grab my comic and put it on their website. How can I set up one-button hot-linking that will automagically provide the code so that they can easily drop it into their website, similar to the way YouTube does with video?

I am hosting a site that has some flash in it.Now a different site is linking directly to the flash, causing massive traffic for me. The problem: I do not gain any ads which would help me pay the server bills.I thought it would be OK to redirect the direct link to the flash to the site containing it.
Flash: www.example.com/flash/1.swf
Page: www.example.com/1 (<-- redirect here!)
It probably should work with .htacess

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.

I know there are softwares which can protect the swf files from decompilers; where the actionscript appears to be gibberish once decompiled. My question is is there any way i can make sure the swf catcher cant find the swf file to download?

Right now, if someone types in a popup window comes up asking if they want to download the file.I want my swf files (I'm building a site on the Gaia flash framework) to have access to all of my flv's/videos, but I don't want people to be able to download them.e Flash IDE to 'protect' your swfs (though I know there are ways around that) - but for flv's do those have to go in some type of special folder with a .htaccess file to protect them - and if so, how do I let my swf's communicate with the flv's and load them when necessary.

I've created a password variable w/input text on the first frame of a swf to enable private viewing of a swf; so if you dont know the password you cant procedd to frame 2, to see the whole thing.

I'm experimenting with loading an array of elements into my Flash project using the LoadVars property (I'm using Flash 8 - AS 2) The elements are queried from MySQL using PHP to a page named "elements.php" and loaded into the Flash file. It works fine, but I'd like to be able to protect the "elements.php" page so that the variables queried from this page cannot be viewed by someone who types the absolute path to the elements.php file in the browser address bar [[URL]. Using includes, I'm able to protect other pages in my site from direct assess but these methods don't seem to work when the URL is called from within my SWF file.
My fear is that someone might decompile the swf to reveal the LoadVars URL present in the actionscript. I know there are ways to obfuscate the code, but I'm not sure how well these methods really work. I also understand it is practically impossible to completely hide the code from someone who is REALLY intent on getting it, but I'd like to make it as difficult as possible.

So the first frame will be password protected if someone know the password he can go to next frame. I want that passwords was in .txt file (so every password have his own .txt file). And if someone type correct password and go to next frame the .txt file of this password will be deleted (so you can use password only once). I want to put this game to my website so the txt files will be in online folder.

protecting SWF files written in AS3? I've tried some trial software but they didn't seem to do very much.
Its sad when a developer spends months developing an app/game only to have it stolen, edited, recompiled and sold by some moron without principles or ethics.

I have an application developed in Falsh (EXE) that is to be distributed on CD-Rom and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on protecting the application from copying.Is there a way within the dev environment I can "stamp" it to prevent copying, or another technique?I don't mean using getDate(), getMonth(), getFullYear(), etc.I have used this to create an expiry date on versions that are being distributed, which then shows an out of date message (which can be easily worked around with the system clock unfortunately).But I wish to protect the disk from being copied, and wondered if there was any techniques from within Flash to do so.Glass mastering and watermarking is not viable as it'll only be a very small duplication run (10, maybe 20 disks).Alternatively, are there any stable utilities that anyone has used (and recommends), prior to me investigating available commercial copy protection software?

how to password protect a swf uploaded to my website.
I have a swf that is a work in progress, is NOT ready for public viewing, and i need some critique from a friend in the USA, and if i could upload it and give her the password, it would be viewable only for her, or for whoever else i'd give the password.
So, i've looked at a thread from a while back,[URL], which explains stuff that is beyond me, on xml programming.
And, i am aware that the Publish settings has an option to add a password, I tried it but am unsure what that does if anything.

We have RTMP and HLS live and vod streams running on FMS interactive 4.5. Given that FMS documentation on security and content protection is very scarce I have the following questions:
1. How do I protect my live and vod RTMP streams from embedding in other webpages?
2. How do I protect my live and vod RTMP streams from capturing with special tools like rtmpdump?
3. How do I protect my live and vod HLS streams from embedding in other webpages?
4. How do I protect my live and vod HLS streams from capturing with special tools?
As far as I understood RTMPE is flawed by design because it can be captured with rtmpdump. SWFVerification also fails, because one can use exactly the same SWF player on their site. Can I somehow tell to my FMS server that it would allow only SWF player from my domain?

I am about to upload a flash application to the web and I was wondering what things i should consider (security wise). What are things I should do (and know) to "protect" my swf files from malicious intentions (whatever they may be)...
Somethings I am concerned about are:
*my swf file being stolen / someone else will claim its their own
*swf file being decompiled and things that can be done once decompiled
*...and a host of other security issues that i might not be aware of..
I am basically creating an online portfolio in case yall are wondering either post the information here, give me links to articles, videos, or whatever...

We set up a Flash Media Server and we are trying to figure out how to protect our live encoding url. Seems like anyone with a Flash Media Encoder and who knew the location of our server could publish a live stream.

I usually, use SWF Protection, to protect my swf's from decompiling. It also adds a load bar to the swf.
The problem is that I have codes like this:
logo= new marca();
parent.addChild(logo);
logo.mouseEnabled=false;
I use parent, because I need to put the movie clip above everything, because my application allows the user to add a lot of things to the stage, so a don't want anything covering the logo.
The application works well while unprotected, but If I protect it using SWF Protection, then, I get just white screen. Nothing appears after loading.
Is there another way, to put a movieclip above everything, without being necessery to add a ON ENTER FRAME LISTENER, to update the movieclip deph, to keep it above everything?

Aside from using browser headers, I want to blacklist/whitelist browser and plugins from my site so that I can prevent these older unpatched systems from (1) being a general user of my site (2) removing those 'targets' from would-be-attackers reach.Is there a standard way to use Whitelisting or Blacklisting to control browser access to my site? For example, I want to prevent any browser that has outdated Flash, but I want to permit them if they have no Flash at all.

With all the recent hype about JavaScript and HTML5 replacing Flash, I wanted to know - How would it be possible to protect client-side js code? Of course, it is possible to obfuscate it, but that would only make it a little harder. Also, for games which submit high scores to the server, wouldn't it be incredibly easy to modify those scores before they are sent to the server? I know even Flash files can be decompiled, but they can be obfuscated and flash decompilation is not as easy as modifying data in JS - could be done easily using a plugin such as Firebug. I'd like to know everyone's views on this.
