hi

and also another question. can flash load secure datas and use security algorithms?

Simple put, not really, no luck preventing decompiling. As far as security goes, it will take it as far as you can.

so isn't there any method to prevent chaching swf files in user computer?

there is a program out there that obfucates swf files. I know I can't crack it, but maybe someone here in the forums could.

Headshot's once wrote his own decomplier, but the ones of the market can't decompile it, (as of now). But it is just a race. What M$ XP was cracked before it was ever released?

No guarentee's on anything, but you can help it out a little. But what are you putting in the swf file that is so important anyway? You got better code that Robert Penner's open source stuff? :p

Oh and "hiding" you code in obfuscation is not the same as security. There is a big difference.
