Re: FN-FORUM: Preventing saving of swf files

date posted 30th January 2007 16:42

Hi,

I would make the flash file that I embed just a shell that pulled in =20
the main content files with local filepath referances, so even if =20
someone steals the shell.swf that won't know what the other files are, =20
or how to get them. It's like using server side includes.

hope this helps
