ASV (ActionScript Viewer) is hands down the best utility for looking through an SWF - thought I know you're not interested in that really ;)
Nothing is safe in your published swf. Bottom line. The components can be looked at with decompilers as well. The only option you might have is obfuscating like you mentioned. And still, that doesn't sound very safe either. At Max last week, at the security discussion, the presenter brought up the fact that there are programs that can break the obfuscation as well. I don't have any program names that do it, but thats what was said. If you're using FCS, you can possibly have your logic that matters to you on the server side and protected. Red5 currently has server side services implemented as well and will offer this type of functionality. hth, On 10/27/05, James O'Reilly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Question about protecting my swfs. > > If I use external AS2 classes and compile my swf, will those classes be > exposed if someone were to decompile my swf with a program like > Sothink's SWF Decompiler or other similar decompiler?
