RE: FN-FORUM: Representing art on the web

its irrelevant if its hard coded in flash or not. Its still possible to =
grab the images although it is possible to do "handshakes" from flash to =
a PHP script (or any server side lang) which makes it much much harder.

Also, and I don't enjoy recommending this because I believe in open web
standards, you could try a flash-based applet to display the photo (with
the photo location hard-coded into the viewer rather than being =
referenced
by the HTML). This won't stop people from taking screenshots, but they
won't be able to right-click to save the image.
