Hi,

A small piece of ActionScript added to the beginning of a SWF file, can check the referring URL, and if it isn't the URL hard-coded into the SWF, it can go to a "no access" page (or another URL-see another URL example script below), else if correct, it can play the SWF movie. Add obfuscation via a third party ActionScript obfuscation program, and there is a minimum yet useful ability to secure the SWF (of course, expert users can probably get around this).

But how to add this snippet of ActionScript to an Opus Flex pub and publish without script 'parsing' errors? When I've tried to include this script, the pub will not successfully publish: parsing errors.

And, if it can be added, what would be the "else" script?

Here's a sample of this ActionScript script snippet:



Quite a challenge! (Maybe can't be done currently and needs to be added to the wish list.)

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

I'm pretty sure you're wasting your time.

loaderInfo is an AS3 command and I believe that Opus uses AS2. Beside which, what exactly would the this keyword be referring? Called from an OpusScript it refers to the page, but I'd image that it would need to be referring to the Movie

It's Sunday, I've lost an hour (damn British Summer Time), but I vaguely recall that this has been posted before. I'm even sure that a working solution was devised that used PHP sessions to lock the publication to a given website.

Better off starting there or buying a copy of ActionScript for MX

Hi Mack,

Thanks for your reply. I haven't yet found a way to accomplish this in Opus Flex. Thanks for reminding me about AS2 in Opus Flex. When I've tested successfully in SWF's authored in Flash, I have been using AS3.

I'll search further for the forum post that may use PHP. Another option is to use the HTML container and script it for checking the referrer URL. Again, not overly secure, but hopefully a "deterrent."

Kind Regards,
