Anyone know of a way to strip(make unusable) code for a flash movie?
The reason is, I have a site that you can upload a flash movie as part of your profile but when you do so you have the ability of making a new window pop-up using getURL and such. I need this not to be able to happen but still be able to allow flash movies.
The users upload them thru an ASP interface.


Thanks

but what if the user is using actionscript in their personal profile flash?

i'm pretty sure that you cannot do what you want to do..... you would have to decompile the swf file when uploaded and comment out any lines that have the getURL line.... but if the person has an email link in their flash to link to their portfolio site then you are in trouble....

i have been wrong, mind you......

Yeah, if you want to allow flash movies as part of the users profile, you will probably have to tell your users the rules and hope they follow them - maybe kill their flash movie if it "misperforms", I dunno. But I don't think you can do that in an automated fashion, sorry.
