Encrypt your text using a super crazy encryption algorithm.
Then, create a swc that contains the key and algorithm to decrypt the
text.
Then, encrypt that swc using another super crazy encryption algorithm.
Load the swc at runtime as raw bytes, decrypt it in memory, and then

Hi,
It's more about risk assessment and minimising it than how to keep
it safe. If your data is so sensitive that joe public should not see it
then allowing access to the data over the internet is probably a bad
thing to do...
Otherwise, if it's not hugely sensitive, perhaps personal
If you are worried about the client accessing your data outside of the

For example:

Good points have been raised. Thank you for quick your feedback!
Does anyone have recommendations for keeping text data as safe as possible? Is

user... they are meant so that if I am conducting a transaction
online, it encrypts all the data so that Bob over in Arkansas can't

I should have mentioned that I am also using a SSL certificate to encrypt

Yes, but it can easily be viewed as it's coming across the wire using

Good day all,
To test my Flash site, I downloaded the free version of Sothink SWF Decompiler
and was surprised at how much it was able to obtain from my swf - even the AS
files in a protected folder on the server! Impressive in its own way...
I have used amfphp to import text from a mysql dat
