They are lightweight, generally easy to skin, and the API is very compatible with the v2 components that MM ships. With that said; the company that acquired the set, Metaliq, does not appear to be interested in documenting or supporting them. I have sent numerous emails/tickets trying to get better documentation, but have not received a reply yet on that issue. At one point, Grant Skinner said his people would try to get them to update the documentation, but this has not happened yet.

Authenticate each map request with a username / password in the query string. If you wanted to prevent that username / password from being seen (by people watching the line), use HTTPS.

It's technically impossible to completely protect the data in a swf from being cached and decompiled. If you do use the _url property, it is entirely possible for someone to decompile and rewrite the "viewer" swf to send back whatever they want instead of the _url property. With regard to the PHP script that was mentioned earlier: scripts like these that prevent caching may not work the same across different browsers and OS's. Also, they can be defeated with other tools. Essentially, if the bytes can get to your machine, they can be captured. You have to understand the level of risk involved and decide what lengths you wish to go in order to protect your data. It may be appropriate to use one of the methods suggested already, or it may be that something more robust is in order. Since we're talking about maps, I would think that you wouldn't need to go to great lengths to protect them (unless they are maps to buried treasure!). That said, Flash Player 9 will have the ability to load a swf over a socket into a ByteArray and then display it with Loader.loadBytes. This would be a pretty bullet-proof way to prevent the swf from being cached, and make it much more difficult to capture. But, you may not want to wait for Player 9. Present day, you could look at rendering the maps using the Drawing API - then you'd just be passing coordinates instead of whole swfs. But, that would take significant effort, and it sounds like it's pretty late in the game. -tom -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bieniasz, Myles Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 1:09 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] How to hide SWF Assets from Internet users One way is to use the _url property, which will point to the .swf's location on the file system, then just have each map check if it's residing at the proper url.

I wrote a map viewer application for my client, in which my viewer can load .swf Vector Maps from a predetermined directory on the server. >From within my viewer, the users can perform drill-down queries, by selecting contents of multiple dropdown boxes - State, Region, then Lake Name. Paid subscribers, have full access to their maps - but it's imperative that they can ONLY view these maps from within the viewer app. Since the Flash Map Viewer, needs to retrieve these maps from the server using a public URL (unless I am overlooking something), how can I hide these maps from the world - if the outside users are able to figure out which path to type into their browser, and snatch up maps? I know that server-side scripts, can access local resources - like "D:\Documents", etc. - but once the Map Viewer is running from a Remote Browser, how can I bury these maps under some type of file system that is not directly accessible by the outside world (but only through the Map Viewer app)??? Also, once the user views a particular map, how can I prevent the map.swf file from being Cached on their hard drive? If any of you could help me out regarding this, I'd be very appreciative.
