Yeah I personally do not care that something is 100% secure, it never is. But if a few lines of basic Actionscript will stop 99% of the kiddies out there from leeching then that's fine by me.
My apps often use Flashcom and it is therefore important that I don't make it too easy for folks to simply leech my swf and run a videochat off my back. I am doing serverside referrer checks (yes, referrer can be spoofed but up to this day noone has actually gone through such lengths) so the swf can't connect from any other domain anyway. However the fact that swfs can be 'hotlinked' like images makes this a bit more of an issue. Any clientside barrier is one more hurdle to jump. In my experience kiddies give up at the first hurdle as they do not expect any hurdles at all.
