flash security question

[Paul Isaak]

If scene one - frame one asks for a password, and the user is allowed
options to view text and graphics in the other scenes only after entering
the password, how secure is flash? could one still access the info by
deconstructing the SWF? would it be more secure if exported as an exe?

is it enough to stop the casual observer, the semi-techie-hacker, the pro
hacker, or is it totally iron-clad?

Just curious.

Nothing is totally secure from the "pro-hacker" But depending on how
you implement the password protection it can be very secure. Putting
the password hard coded in (say) frame 1, is not the way to go.
Using loadVars, or XML will make it a little more secure.

When a flash related item is about to show on a certain web page - the Security
question is quickly prompted.

It says: "So-And-So is attempting to read from So-And-So.com. This is a
potenitally insecure operation. Do you want to allow it? Allow or Block?"

I click the darn ALLOW button and nothing happens. I click the darn DENY
buttom and nothing happens. I cannot click the darn button to say yes or
no!!!!!!!!

How do I get rid of this security warning for ONLY this site?
