Hi John,
I wouldn't say SWF Encrypt is absolute crap - though it took just minutes
for us to bypass their initial 3.0 version.
As per requests from our customers, we have been deliberately not bypassing
it (but we gave no promises).
Recently, it turned out it broke some of our applications (namely UAE and
ASR) because our software does not preserve the tag order when saving a SWF
file and the obfuscation moves real actionscript bytecode to other tags. We
had to move the scripts back and though we didn't add even a single line of
code to bypass the obfuscation, it turned out some of the scripts can now be
decompiled. I'm sure SWF Encrypt guys can fix this quickly (or they already
may have) because we are not actively trying to bypass the obfuscation.
Current release version of ASR can show the script in fish_secure.swf, with
the right options selected. We will have the same option with the ASV update
(as it also uses the same decompiler engine), which will be released in 10
days (We hope to have it released by ASVs 6th anniversary - May 16).
I'd agree that SWF Encrypt is currently a good choice.. But, one must not
depend on it too much.
Also, I'd suggest identifier renaming ( like
http://www.genable.com/asolite.html ) in addition to any other obfuscation,
as it will be non-reversible even in theory. It may require more work and
care but I think it's worth it.

I wrote up a review here.

A couple of the commentors talked about how it's absolute crap, but I
haven't yet found a SWF-decryptor that can bring the encrypted SWF back to
something resembling its original form.
I probably should've embedded some hidden source-code and challenged the
naysayers to present it to me :)
