Hopefully the number of folks that can grab the game is reduced?? Here is how it's done: Container swf (game.swf) holds a Red Herring faux game to keep the --n00bs busy, and a script loaded via smoke and mirrors - logo.gif is actually logo.swf - suffix changed after compiling - Flashplayer obviously doesn't use the dot-three suffix to determine what a file holds. None of this is necessary for the system to work, but is easy, fun and does no harm. The code in logo.gif checks to see that it is being loaded onto a trusted url, and if so loads the real swf via a php script that conceals the directory location of the real swf, and prevents caching. Here is the php file that does this: ?php $data = $_GET['data']; header(Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT, -1 ); header(Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate); header(Pragma: no-cache); $content = file_get_contents(pathToRealSwf/$data); echo$content; ? The only change you make to the php file is to change the 'pathToRealSwf/' to your own relative or absolute path to the directory holding the real swf. I eliminated a line in the script that typed the data as a shockwave/flash file, and removed the dot three suffix from 'rainbow.swf' - the actual file. So now, when one runs the php script from the browser window, the browser doesn't know what it is opening, and just shows the bytecode. If anyone wants the system so far, write me offlist and I will send the source files for your examination. I'll also post the system online once all the doors are closed that can be closed. It's probably premature to do this yet, there are probably more doors to close, and more bricks to add to the wall, but as we go along, anyone is welcome to what I've done so far. If you have a suggestion for making the system stronger, I'd appreciate the help. So grab this version of the game, and let me know what other doors might be closed?

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: obfuscation swf !
Thanks Ian, your ideas look promising . . . Thanks Frederic, that's on the same vein as Mark's link to Kerckhoffs' assumption - btw, I think I can defeat the way you found it, Frederic, with one more layer of php . . . maybe . . . (you got to 'path' but not to 'rainbow' - hmmm) Seems we can protect from the casual swf grabber/decompiler, but as long as swf's are delivered in some manner to the player as one complete file, I can prevent it from caching on the users machine, I can hide the location of the file, but it can still be captured, even if it isn't a proper swf file when it hits the player . . . . . . I'll be back . . . :~) jimbo - Original Message - From: Ian Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 9:47 AM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] RE: obfuscation swf ! Hm. Just a side thought on that - again, making it difficult rather than impossible. Use the same FP9 idea - loading via a binary socket - but instead of using Blowfish or something heavyweight to decrypt, just split the source .swf into chunks on the server, load each chunk seperately, reassemble and loadBytes on the client side. Easy to get around if you know what's going on, granted. But no longer just a case of lifting a cached file from somewhere and renaming it to SWF. Particularly if you're clever about how the chunks are ordered. Just a thought. :-) Ian On 7/18/07, Jon Bradley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The most difficult method I am aware of is by using FP9 (AS3) and Loader.loadBytes (combined with ByteArray). You could use a secured socket connection and load binary data, decrypted through ByteArray and a client-server handshake (say Blowfish as the encryption method - it'll just take forever to decrypt the data). That still won't protect you. All one needs is a packet sniffer to get the data (including any keys or other information) and use the SWF that loaded the data in the first place to decrypt it. It'll take a bit longer to get the file (a long time if implemented properly) but you can still get the file. http://www.bytearray.org/?p=32 good luck. - jon ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

Re: [Flashcoders] swfobject and AS3/Player 9
Here it is:
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/#expressinstall
The new method is mandatory for F9, but works well for all versions (6.65 and
greater - no support for any expressinstall in flashplayer before that). Can't
put my finger on the explaination for why the new method is necessary, but it
is.
Most recent download, and other info on this page as well.
As an aside, Geoff was teaming with Bobby van der Sluis to come up with the
bottom-line-best-standards-compliant method for putting swf's on a web page,
but that effort seems dead - nothing much happening there:
This also may be the last major release of SWFObject. If you havent already
heard, the SWFFix project (http://www.swffix.org/devblog/) will be attempting
to replace SWFObject as the de-facto Flash embedding standard. The project is
still in the alpha stage, but is looking quite promising. So until then, enjoy!

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClip Buttons in Flash CS3 ActionScript 3
Adam,
Your button works with your assets . . . if you change all of the graphic
elements from 'movie clips' on your _up, _over and _down frames to 'graphic'
Type - both in the library and above the instance name in the properties panel
when selected on stage. Grouping is all right, but no mc can be in any of the
frames. With Flash 8 many gurus saw little need for the 'graphic' type, and
everything, even graphics, became a movie clip. Now it seems that the lowly
'graphic' type has it's place in a much stricter Actionscript 3.
My only query is . . . for the over state, now I cannot design a whiz-bang
graphic tween - since it would need to be held in a movie clip container
instead of a graphic container?

This works in AS2, but not AS3, so I'm thinking it's a bug in Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] MovieClip Buttons in Flash CS3 ActionScript 3
Yes, I can find nothing in as3 docs about support for that shortcut (_up,_over,
_down frame labels). The buttonMode=true only affects the cursor - changes it
from pointer to hand.
afaik, you need to set functions for each event - possible mouse events include:
CLICK
DOUBLE_CLICK
MOUSE_DOWN
MOUSE_MOVE
MOUSE_OUT
MOUSE_OVER
MOUSE_UP
MOUSE_WHEEL
ROLL_OUT
ROLL_OVER
So I think you need to do this:
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myFunction);
my_btn.buttonMode = true;
function myFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
//do something
}
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, myOverFunction);
function myOverFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
//do something
}
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, myOutFunction);
function myOutFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
//do something
}
I'd love to learn otherwise, though. Of course, using the simple button
component avoids this, maybe you could just skin it to your liking? All of the
button states are separate editable mc's in the library.

Thanks Jim,
I've set up the AS3 event handler as you've specified, and it does change
the cursor from an arrow to a pointer, but the _up, _down and _over states
don't work. I pasted the same button symbol into an AS2 FLA file, and it
does work, so there isn't anything wrong with the way I've set my frame
labels in the button symbol.
According to the docs, it should work in AS3:
If you use the buttonMode property with the MovieClip class (which is a
subclass of the Sprite class), your button might have some added
functionality. If you include frames labeled _up, _over, and _down, Flash
Player provides automatic state changes (functionality similar to that
provided in previous versions of ActionScript for movie clips used as
buttons).
Can anyone else get this working in AS3???

Also, many of us use Geoff's SWFObject js. to not only embed the swf more invisibly cross-browser, avoid the 'click to activate' in IE, and it gives the opportunity to place whatever alternative content you wish in a div that is much more search engine friendly and offers graceful degrading. http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ hth, jimbo *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 1/31/2007 at 10:28 AM Paul Steven wrote: Anyone experienced this problem.

Re: [Flashcoders] FLV preloading question
My understanding is that preloading implies that you are loading the entire movie before playing, whereas buffering would be to load a small amount before starting a progressive stream playback. I think that by definition, if you are using progressive streaming flv's, you want to size them so that they *stream* - and other than a very short buffer, there should be no need for preloading. jimbo - Original Message - From: Wouter Steidl [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Monday, April 17, 2006 12:12 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] FLV preloading question Hi list!

Does that really work? I know you said you got it from the help docs
and all, but I always thought the Flash player, when it came to loading
XML, ran single threaded in the sense that all other caluculations had
to stop until the XML was loaded. I ask because with the code you
posted, I tried it on a 2mb XML file and pctLoaded traces NaN, and
my_xml.getBytesLoaded traces 0 the entire time the file is loading.

Re: [Flashcoders] Loading Swf files in site (protectingbandwithfromother sites)
sorry, I read too fast, this won't work with submitted swf's if you can't get into them. Might try to see if you created a container swf that loaded the submitted swf might work? How about if you put a bit of actionscript in your swf to prevent it from being displayed on any other url? It's not perfect - the swf can be broken into and the code found, but it prevents regular surfers from grabbing the swf and placing it on any other url, (including hot-linking to your swf from another url), and also prevents viewing the swf if it is downloaded to a hard drive. thttp://jimbo.us/Games/Test.html http://jimbo.us/Games/Test.swf http://jimbo.us/Games/Test.fla Try loading/viewing this swf on any other url, or downloading and viewing the swf from your hard drive.

Even though the parsed file is both in Header as in content equal (to the bit, checked that in filesize and in code) the code behaves differently than the original swf.(for instance when a key is pressed a characters animation will play but won't be moved around). - Now we'r trying to secure a webdirectory (with ModRewrite), to not load swf files when not refered to by our site, but object and embed tags do not pass on a referer in the header, thus blocking all requests or simple not blocking any.

Re: [Flashcoders] Frame or duration limit on FLV
I've got a project with roughly 150 MPEG videos (anywhere from 3-20 minutes each) that I'm preparing to convert to FLV. I'm aware of this tech note regarding the 16,000 frame limit for .fla/.swf ( http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14437 ) but my client just emailed to say that he'd heard of a duration limit of 8 minutes. Anyone have any info on this? If there is a limit, it is very large. On2, the maker of the newest codec, has a full length feature film on its website: http://www.on2.com/video_samples/flix-video-samples/ ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Spinning wheel
u could even use the motion tween prototypes (http://laco.wz.cz/tween/) or
fuse (http://www.mosessupposes.com/Fuse/) to get the rotation motion and use
one of the robert pernner easing equation in order to ease out the rotation
of the wheel.
mind u motion tween will bump up ur file size by 6k straight away and fuse
will bump it up by ~14k.
check out those 2 packages they are pretty handy.
good luck

Don't think I need Flade to pull this off. Although its nice.
What I whipped up so far:
import Timer;
function randomize( min:Number, max:Number ):Number {
var generator = Math.random()*(max-min);
generator = Math.round(min+generator);
return generator;
}
function spin():Void {
// Spinning time between 10 and 20 seconds
var nTime = randomize( 1, 2 );
var newTimer = new Timer();
var friction = nTime/200;
wheel.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._rotation += friction;
friction -= friction/30;
if (!newTimer.end){
newTimer.wait( nTime );
} else {
//trace( nTime/1000 + secs passed!);
trace(this._rotation);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
}
spin();
Now, the divisions are merely magic numbers - they seem to work
fairly well... but I don't think this is the right way to do it.
Also, if I pick random points on the circle surface, how do I know
which is closest to the top (say the little pointer as centered top
above the wheel)?

before i code one up myself - does anyone have the basic math for a
wheel of fortune type of spinning wheel? if it had a flapper that
would be a bonus. otherwise i can just randomize the total time of
spin, and let er rip, slowing the rotation down over time. random
number of possible hits on the wheel.
