Hi Fellows  
I need to know about how can I prevent my code from viewing??? Actually i have two components in my fla and the problem is that the code is open if I give it to my client. So I tried out attachMovieNum to load the swf file for those components but it has another restriction and that is I have to enter values for parameters of these components which keep on changing, tell me how to get over this. I need to know about this and yeah not to mention its very urgent as usual:hangover:

try putting your code in an invisble mc loaded inside another invisible mc with \_x and \_y coordinates of about -1000. Then I don’t think he’ll be able to find it!

You want the code to be unreadable when you open the fla or the swf?? If it’s the fla, just include all the code from a .as file. If it’s a swf, there are a few ways, but I don’t think they work that well.

Iammontoya, that is a link to keep your SWF from being cached. He is talking about keeping your code from being decompiled and there is absolutely no way of total hiding it.

sothink’s decompiler puts a menu item in the right click menu, so you just have to right click on a page with a swf, and it lists them for decompilation…

my opinion: if it’s out there, they will find your code, if they want it bad enough…
