> How about Flash?

Nope. Just like Jochem's humorous link says:

"The page you are looking at belongs to me. Here it is, displayed on your
computer. 

Let's see. The page and content were on my server and downloaded to your
computer and then your browser displayed the page. So, my page and content
is actually now saved somewhere on your computer. There is nothing I can do
that will stop you from getting a copy of my code and my pictures on your
computer. There they sit, just waiting in your 'temporary Internet files'
folder.

And it get's worse than that! While it might be difficult to retrieve those
files from the temporary Internet files folder, you could always make a copy
of the screen image, complete with my pictures!! 

Isn't there anything that can be done? Basically, no. The best that you can
do is make it difficult for people to copy your pictures or copy your code"

Just like HTML, Flash content is downloaded to the client. Anything that is
displayed on my screen is mine for the taking. You can make it more
difficult for the casual copyer, but if your content really has that sort of
value, you don't want to display it on an untrusted user's screen.
