I have done decompiling and disassembly its possible. But only on stuff built 
with Flex 1.x
 
Disassembly: its really, really hard to read, a hacker would have to spend 
weeks reading your code to understand what is happening.
Decompiling: creates an FLA file that you can load into the Flash dev 
environment, since I dont have this, I never looked at it.
 
I think apps build with Flex 2.0 are far better security wise (than with 1.x) 
but it still good practice to put additional checks on the server side to make 
sure the user is sending valid data.

Subject: [flexcomponents] curious to know about Flex component Decompiling?



ActionScript 3 looks more like Java and SWF files have been decompiled
since a long time...

does it mean developing in Flex means potential chance for
decompilation & concerns for security ???

When a Flex App is loaded in the browser, I assume it's a SWF file
with all the mxml & Components together. Is it proven that Flex apps
cannot be decompiled???

can some one shed light on this..

thanks
