Is there any AS3/Air library for Zip files with password protection support? Previously i check FZip, it was great but it doesn't support encryption! Also another library that works good, but it not support encryption too.
View 1 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've been trying to load some JSON from a URL with a username/password at the beginning.So the URL resembles: http:/[url]....I've been using the DataLoader class from greensock and it returns a Error #2032: Stream Error if the authentication is up but loads fine when it is disabled.I'm trying to add a 'Authorization' URLRequestHeader to get round this issue? Is this the best way forward?
Edit: I'm trying to use headers in a similar way to this post: Flex 3 - how to support HTTP Authentication URLRequest? but I'm not having much success. The base64 encoder I'm using is from here: http:[url]....
2nd Edit: latest code
_loader = new DataLoader(ENDPOINT, { onComplete:handleComplete, onError:handleError, onFail:handleFail } );
_loader.request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
_loader.request.data = new URLVariables("required=RandomData");[code].....

i don't understand flash plugin only support .swf file,not support .flv file? always require load a swf file for play flv file, for exampes:
<embed type="video/x-flv" src="http://www.my.com/test.flv"></embed>
must be use a swf for play

I have a Flash application that displays online e-learning tests. Once a user successfully logs in(via .net webservice) the app loads in XML files, images and audio files via Loader/URLRequest objects and uses the loaded data to render the test on screen.This all works fine but recently the decision has been made to put the XML and media files used by the tests in a password protected directory for extra security.I was wondering if anyone has any experience loading files into Flash from password protected folders. From what I can see online I could specify the username and password for the folder as HTTP request headers using a URLRequestHeader object and set the requestHeaders property of the URLRequest to this URLRequestHeader obj. But this only seems a possibility with the POST method and I am using GET.Also even with the POST method there seems to be issues with sending a HTTP Authorization header in player versions before 9.0.124Is what I am trying to do possible or is it not allowed due to Flash security restrictions?

Do I simply rename the HTML page to the desired link name for brand consistency on my website, will that solve the problem without needing the FLA?

Does Flash look for .swc files only through library path or can I put .swc file to the .fla directory too? I tried that but It seems that Flash does not look for .swc files there, I guess only for .as files.

View 1 RepliesI am having problems with building my webpage with Flash. I have imported the the swf files I want in my library but when I try to put them into folders my computer seems to seize up and takes a few minutes to do the job and can be very slow and I am unable to anything on PC while it is doing this. I have not incounted this problem before on my PC but I have had it for over 5 years now and I am due to buy a new PC in spring next year when Windows 7 is released on all new PCs. I am using windows XP with all the updates available plus upgraded to 1GB memory last year. Is my PC to old to work with FLASH CS3 or is it another problem entirely?

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.
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'm trying to use the Shared Library process for the first time with audio files and I'm not sure why it's not working. I've followed both processes from here:[URL] and have a library file called libTestAudio.swf with all the audio files set up right (see Flash file here [URL] My question is should the testAudio.swf ever grow in file size? When it has no content it is at 4Kb but when it has the shared library file added to the timeline it becomes 8Kb. Now this might sound small but I've tried this with much longer pieces of audio and the file size does get bigger for testAudio.swf . I was thinking that only the libTestAudio.swf file would increase in file size and testAudio.swf would remain at it's 4Kb size. Am i wrong there?
View 0 RepliesI 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.

Any way to set up individual Flash Access protection settings for each of some <Location /{url-path}> tags in httpd.conf in the Apache.

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?

Is there a lack of browser support? Or is this functionality determined by the browser's Flash plugin?

On my first FLASH CS4 site I have changed several files from PS and re-imported Imported them into stage several times. Now the library contains lots of folders, i.e. Web Site.psd Assets 1 / Web Site.psd Assets 2 / Web Site.psd Assets 3 etc etc.. They obviously contain the same asset names, each with a corrected content.How can I determine which files are the ones used and delete all the others from the library?
