yeah, that's been a thought and discussion for a while now.

the problem is, how do you lock it down?

You can't put a password on the connector nor can you specifiy the local connection names - hacking an SWF is yesterday's news, so your proprietary information is not secure by any means.  All a person does is hack your SWF, then they've got all the information they need.

So, it comes down to:  How does Xray load external data?  Do we put the ability to type in a server side script URL, that the connector loads?  Then, how do you keep someone from cracking your SWF, and calling the PHP page directly?

The only thing that comes to mind is using the Xray interface to pass along the Server Side Script URL THROUGH the connector - Xray tells the connector what URL to call, it calls the page, and now, has the necessary data to do validation with the interface (Username/Password).  Does that make sense?

XrayInterface(url) -> connector -> url -> connector -> XrayInterface.validation

Thoughts?

I was wondering about the potential for security breaches is with
leaving the Xray debugger active on live sites. On the one hand, it's
important to be able to debug the live site if something goes wrong
after deployment. On the other hand, it doesn't seem too smart to allow
anyone with the debugger execute arbitrary Actionscript on my swf.

Any opinions?
