LMAO, oh man that just made my day. 
Thanks for the link Meridian. =)
Iām just trying to do my part around here hoping the more I help others the more they will be inclined to help me 
Good link, thatās the first solution I had suggested above.
Only thing Iād add is: use this code at the very end of your dev cycle, coz youāll not be able to test the swf on your comp anymore afterwards ā¦

HAHAHAHā¦ that made my day too.
Eyez: Yeah, I didnāt know you could something like this. It is quite interesting.
Yeah I just figured it would help to go step by step.
Glad that comment made everyones day. You guys have been making mine for the last 2 weeks with all the helps
It isnāt going to help anything. The code to āprotectā the SWF is physically visible and editable. So, itās not going to help if someone uses ASV or any other tool that allows the editing of an SWF file.
good idea, but not secure.
there a few flash code scramblers around but they are not 100% efficient. Another way is to load all your code from a different text fileā¦ but then again it could still be visibleā¦
the current version of ASObfuscator does nothing really to the source codeā¦ see my post here =)

why bother trying to do all that. if its on the web, people can acess your stuff. i wouldnt worry about it. if people wanna steal your stuff theyll find out a way how. plus im sure people wouldnt spend that much time just to steal one of your swf files
save yourself the time and dont bother. no one else does.

I was at one point woride about the possability of otheres stealing my Action Scripts, etcā¦ and posted the following:

Now near the bottom of the page Rev. Flash mentioned that you can change the file name sufix (.jpg, .gif, .png, .swf, Etcā¦) and this will not effect the playback of your files. I have done some testing of this. by attempting to convert a .swf file to a .mov file and because the file has a .swf architecture I wasun able to save the file from Quicktime Pro v.6.xx as any thing. This means that the Sub-architecture remains active in the files.
Hope that this information is also of some help to you. It was to me.

Well, there is another way from keeping people from opening up your swf files that get stuck in the temp internet files thingā¦
When youāre done with making the swf movie, obviously youāre gonna publish it. So people publish it with the right click display menu disabled. Butā¦that only stops people from zooming in/out and having control of the play/rewind/forwardā¦
To make sure people canāt import your swf file into the flash, go to file>publish settings>flash>check off āprotect from importā>add password>and this way only people who know the password can import it, and that only person is you>
And, even if they do find out the password, in which theres a 98% chance they wont, after importing, that whole movie will become frame by frameā¦no buttons no mcās no gfx, no actionsā¦itāll turn into a flat movie, and not a websiteā¦get what iām saying?
but then you can simply use a tool like swf decompiler and get all the library items + scripts without having to know the password
How would you protect and SWF fomr a decompiler. These apps that take ans SWF and rip out its source code? is ther eany way to do this?
