Swf protection/ anti piracy

[RickyRombo]

The latest version of his game. He hosts it on a file on his website. If it doesn't match the version number stored in the game, then it locks it up.

What I did was I have a little intro frame that checks to see if the domain is in a list, and if it is, I stop the application. So I have a list with all of the Chinese sites that removed ads from my games.

[JoKa]

Good idea, Eliyahu, is there a black list of such sites?

If you want to protect the content of your file, you'd have to use an protection/obfuscation tool.

If you try decompiling an MMF SWF you'll find you can't do much with it, as (I believe) the actual MMF code and stuff is locked in a kind of CCN file. No need for obfuscation or anything.

Yeah, you'd get the runtime that plays the CCN, but to get the actual game code, you'd have to reverse-engineer the CCN format.
