Challenge - Can you get to my SWF?

[Jesse]

OK so I spent a while today working on a system to stop my Flash files being stripped of their source. It's one I've seen implemented (unsuccessfully) elsewhere but with a twist. I want you guys to see if you can get around it.
There are two SWFs. When you click the link below you should see on which says "Ahhh". The challenge now is to save that SWF and attach it here. Hopefully, if my coding works, every time you try to get to the file you will get another which says "FAIL" in big red letters.

Note:
- Use IE only. Netscape won't even work via the URL above.
- If you get FAIL just by clicking the link above, let me know what country you're in. Yes, it makes a difference.

Happy hunting!

it said fail straight away for me

IE on a mac

location - couple of k's down the road from you ;)

[Jesse]

Erg. OK it might not work on Macs too :)

[Edit] I posted an easier one here but it made the other too easy.

Others please have a shot but I have a feeling most will get the same problem as Billy. I'll work on another method tomorrow after sleep. I have a good feeling about this other method.

Ok, I was able to snag it by going in a round about way.

I used a text editor to make a quick html page containing just a hyperlink pointing to:

http://www.actionscript.org/experiment/v2.php

(I used view source to get the v2.php)

Then I right clicked on the link and chose "save target as" I was actually expecting to get the php source so I could get the name and address of the .swf but I got the .swf instead.

PS: What do I win? Fame, Fortune and the adulation of my peers? Or do I get put on the naughty list for being a devious S.O.B. and defeating your safeguards?

Maybe I'm missing the point here, but all I had to do was dig the swf out of my browser's cache. 31337.swf was the name of the file.

I'm in the U.S.

pixelwit is right
i opened my chache explorer and there was just only one SWF file which is 31337.swf

OK so it was a complete failure :) But at least I know why. I'll have another version tonight which will be harder to get at. Thanks all.

Yeah, I just ripped it out of cache too...
I have a good feeling about this other method.
heheh...

Bring it on!

IE, france ...but you new that...

in Mac, the same thing as Billy T, in Pc ...well..., as everybody else, i get it from the cache.

:cool:

Hi all
Pix was right as everyone got it now, but I remember there was a very good ex. In www.were-here.com
Tut. but I don't remember which one. I'll post a link here as I find it

[Jesse]

So it turns out I had my no cache headers in the wrong spot, I've fixed it up but I'm working on another doubly preventative bit. I'll post it when I get it working and hopefully it will be harder.

Ok, getting out of the cache was easy. I actually defeated your attempt at coding :)
