I think SWF Encrypt could do the job in this case. Manually, you could keep the "shared secret" in an ecnrypted form and then decrypt it at runtime when needed. Or it could be loaded from a server... just some thoughts.

Hi, I'm building a Flash game that'll store a player's score in a database. To make sure the posts are coming from the swf, we're using MD5 to hash some (variable) player data together with a shared secret. This works fine, until someone downloads and decompiles the swf, and finds the shared secret. Do you have any best practices for hiding the shared secret as much as possible? I don't know enough about how the Flash IDE compiles swf's to figure this out on my own.
