hide url of flv video

[Thomas J?rg]

hi

we have a swf-player that downloads and plays flv-videos. the flv movies seem
to pass trough the operating system. on safari you can easily see the address
of each file under window>activity. this is not so good for security reasons.
everybody can just copy this url and download the flv. is it possible to hide
that url without having adobe flash server? i imagine something like
downloading the flv directly into the flash sandboy without having to rely on
the operating system.

thanks for every hint.

errm yeah, but this is gonna be a lot of work, when ever you click on the link,
it sends a generated code to server which pulls the video from database and
upload to a cache folder at random, so there can be a lot of cache folders,
then, sql fetch the code to the player, and after a period of time the cache
folder is deleted. that way they wont be able to download it.

i dont own a swf-player or anything like this but yeah this was needed for
streaming mp3s so viewers can't download them. after they heard it. because the
mp3 file that linked to the server, was like [url]www.asdf.com/mp3/a.mp3[/url] but it
doesnt exist, server actually fetched the player [url]www.asdf.com/cache1/1233214.mp3[/url]
