One way id to make convert you images into SWF files, I usually resist flash, due to the lack of searchable tags for search engines, but swf are not really editable (yes - there are swf decompilers out there), but for even experienced thieves, this can be a ton of effort.
By the way, if anyone knows how to use the new 2002 SWF decompiler, I have a question ... have you ever been able to decompile the swf file into layers or without every frame being a keyframe? If so, I would be interested in knowing how it is accomplished. Every swf that I have decompiled, comes out in a single layer with keyframes for every frame ... is this a limitation?
