The flex application that we are delivering to a third party
contains some propriatary actionscript. Is there a way to
compile the actionscript or convert it to a format that can
not be reverse engineered?
Thanks.
Which version of Flex? You could do some mild obfuscation in 1.5, but
not easily.
There are no tools out yet for reverse engineering Flash 8.5
applications. Its a rather more difficult process. Still possible,
though.
You could fairly easily encrypt your proprietary executable code in a
SWF, then load it on the client as an opaque blob of binary data,
decrypt it on the client, then call Loader.loadBytes to run it.
Since the decryption code would be in the client in the clear, you'd
need to send the key over SSL or something.
They could still intercept things, but it would be much much more
difficult.
Sadly, you've got a bunch of code to write to do this, we don't supply a
code encryptor.
The bits are in the client's hands, and they need some way of decrypting
them to run the bits, so fundamentally, no matter how many levels of
encoding you add, you're just looking at obfuscation.
