it is possible to protect a .swf file from decompilation?i've been reading about compiling class libraries in a .swc file for distribution without revealing the code - possibly selling it. however, there are .swf decompilers you can use to expose the code, and a .swc file is simply a .zip archive, so changing myswc.swc to myswc.zip will reveal the .swf files of the library.

I'm working on making a pretty chunky game engine for games I plan on making, but I was wondering if you make external AS files unopenable such as .lib files, so that if I give it to a friend that wants to use it, he/she cannot change my code. Is there anyway to make external AS files unopenable? Also, obfuscation isn't an option for this problem as it only stops the people who hack the finished product, not stopping people who have access to the actual files.

View 2 RepliesI need to protect images embedded in a swf file. I've noticed Swf Encrypt scrambles the images, like so:
How is something like this achieved ? How does image scrambling work ? I've noticed the image is stored a bitmap. Not sure how information is stored.I imagine it would be possible to use something like AS3SWF to access the content of a swf, but what would I need to change for the image swf tags ? I don't know much about security/obfuscation/encryption, so any tips will be handy. The programming language for this shouldn't matter much.
i have an important swf file and i want to make full protection to prevent any one from downloading or saving the content in any way.
View 2 RepliesI would like to protect my flash files. I would like to block any decompilers,protect actionscript and also protect graphics. Some time ago,I tried to decompile a swf and when I placed it inside a decompiler , it showed me a login form and no graphics.I believe that is the ultimate protection method.Do you have any idea what software can do that ?

View 1 RepliesIt has just occurred to me that when my Flex application does a ChannelSet.login, it is essentially sending the username and password over the wire in an unencrypted form to the BlazeDS server. While I use the binary AMF protocol over an AMFChannel, it would take nothing for somebody to sniff these passwords.
Most of my clients do not want to run their application on an https (SSL) protected site. So what is the best way to do this? I use Spring security on the backend to do authentication.
Should I encrypt the credentials myself before calling login? I guess then I would need to know the server-side encryption algorthym.
One of the great features of CFCs is the ability to reuse the code for both a straight .cfm page and for Flex apps.
One such app that I devleoped uses Flex for its charting capabilities and needs access to a 'getResults()' function in the cfc.
All of this content is behind an authentication mechanism, but since the cfc will open itself up to a wsdl request:
[URL]
and will actually return the results to the browser if the URL query is crafted properly:
[URL]
What techniques have people used to protect the cfc from direct access UNLESS the request is coming directly from the CFML processor OR from Flex Remoting?
i've got an AS3 project going out on cd. The project will consist of the SWF, several folder directories containing flvs, and folders containing ActionScript Classes used by the SWF. I'm not so much worried about protecting the FLV's or the Swf, but the cd could eventually be snagged by a rival company. is there a way to somewhat protect or encript external actionscript classes?

View 7 RepliesI have found heaps of preloaders that work on the time line of game but offer no protection.Does anyone know where I can get a sample code for this or where I can buy a preloader from so that it loads before the game and if someone tries to save the page they get the preloader instead of the SWF? flash designer I know said its possible but hasn't got time to create one. He gave me this code in a FLA but when I embedd the swf in to the site it doesn't load anything just displays the preloader
function setProgress(num)
{
_root.percentDone = int(num);

View 2 RepliesI like to protect, with a password and user name, the incoming stream to the FMS (application Live Packager). How can I instal a password (I don't mean SSL), to prevent that unauthorized persons can stream their own content over my server. This means, the Flash Media Encoder should ask for a password and username.
View 1 RepliesI have images that I need to manage access to. I've come across osmf and rtmp streaming which are flash/adobe technologies and would require me to install a special server. Anyone knows of other ways to get the same effect with php.By "manage access to" I mean that the average user would not be able to save the page and save the image with it. If they want to view the image again, they would have to revisit, re-request it. Flash streaming server offers that, but are there non-flash/adobe solutions to compare it to.
"Give up" is not something you say to your employer who is a publisher and has legalrequirements to protect the IP other entities license to them. Sorry, but I don't make management decisions, and I'm not a lawyer. I work in the technical department and need to find the best technical solutions to what's being asked. If it still fails occassionally, I would say this is the best technology has now, and I've given it to you. I don't want to be found personally negligible when I should have done my best. Some people don't seem to have real jobs?
