Hi Kevin ,,,,
Yes, you are right .. my scenario is : If i am developing online test
application[Educational] using Flex
.user can
1. copy paste the questions with all multiple answer on Notepad[For future
reference]
2. He/She can search on Google/Any other for the right answer using another
browser window while giving test..
3. User can take screen shot/ Print Screen and paste this in to any image
application
4. Any other way ..
So keeping all this in mind can we make a application Flex more Secure
