Encrypte SWF files?

[Christian Franzen]

Hi.

I search for a long time now, but I can't find any tool that is able to
encrypte a SWF file "really". All I found were some obfuscation tools,
but such tools does not offer any security. I want to use a password in
my action scripts and I must be sure that no one is able to decompiler
this action scripts. Is there any tool available out there?

thx Xion

It is not possible to encrypt your swf, since the player has to be
able to decode it. If the player can - other programs can do this as
well and decompile your code.

I have tried a lot of bogus applications that should obfuscate/encrypt
swf's and either they mess up your program - or they don't obfuscate
it at all.

The best solution is to obfuscate your source code before compiling
your swf. This way it will make less sense to people decompiling your
script - and it works. I can recommend Irrfuscator. It will never be
100% secure so don't hide secret keys etc. in your source code.
