Even doing that, a user could still find the remote file by using a tool
like Fiddler (http://www.fiddlertool.com). If the user is willing to go
through the trouble of bypassing your current method, it's unlikely they
would be stopped by obscuring the filename. Combining the files seems the
only sure way to do what you want, but I don't know how to do that.

Maybe not the best solution, but if they get the file name from the
flashVars, then pass it in another way, LoadVars, XML, Remoting...

Subject: [Flashcoders] Ensuring commercial is played before the video
whilekeeping .FLV external
Hi all,
One of the services of my website will be providing flash videos to
distributors. We have developed a player swf that takes in an
introductory
swf (mostly likely an ad/commercial) and the .flv video file as FlashVars
parameters.
Is there a way to provide access to these files to clients and ensure that
the ad/commercial is played? Specifically, the problem we are running into
is that the client could develop their own flash player and just play our
.flv file.
Can we somehow hide the flv file name, while still using external
playback?
Is there a way to get around the problem without combining the commercial
and video into one file? (If not, anyone know of an easy way to combine
files dynamically?)
Any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
