I don't know of any publicly available obfuscators. But, given the fact that Adobe has contributed the source code for the AS3 virtual machine to the the Mozilla community as the Tamarin project, it would not be very difficult for one to be written. Be forewarned, however, there is already a basic AS3 decompiler written in AS3 available with the sources, and in them lie myriad starting points for writing bytecode analysis programs in both C++ and AS3 (or any other language of your choice, if you care to do the porting). See: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tamarin/ http://www.5etdemi.com/blog/archives/2007/01/as3-decompiler/ Like others have already mentioned, you're best off keeping your highly sensitive code tightly secured on the server-side. That is to say, you really shouldn't implement trade secrets or sensitive financial data encryption algorithms in a SWF. But if you want to make your latest Flex-based game a little bit harder to steal or cheat at, obfuscation might at best deter casual thievery and create more busy work for the truly dedicated. That being said, there are still quite a few "very interesting things" that can now be done given that we've got the Tamarin source code. ;) Jim
