Kung fu panda

i just tried to download and have a look at the flash file for the kung fu panda website (http://www.kungfupanda.com)

the file is http://www.kungfupanda.com/panda_nav.swf

you can view it fine on the site, as it is uploaded, but not when you download it yourself.

i’ve downloaded the swf file to the desktop and all i get is black.

i’m wondering how do they do this?

My guess is that the site receives a token from a php/asp file in the same directory as the swf that is then used as a “passkey” to see if it’s in the same directory as the php file and hence on the webserver.

At least that’s how I would do it. You’d have to decompile it and reroute the paths to get around it…

I bet it’s just a series of files that are used for the site, and you only downloaded one of them. Probably nothing as interesting as a serverside “passkey”, just multiple .swf files.
