Hi Jamie, You do have the steps right for deployment. As for securing the resource the options available would be to either:
- add security constraints to the destination. This would require you to either have users log in or hardcode credentials in the app (which is obviously no help in case of decompiling). - add J2EE web app security to your web app to secure the entire thing or any HTTP/AMF channels that are allowed to acces the destination Unfortunately there is no mechanism to automatically detect friendly vs. rogue swfs. But needing to know the channel and destination name are a slight deterrant.
