Re: protect from import

[John Croteau]

Hi Jan,


> What does protect from import mean?

It sets a flag that prevents an .swf file from being imported into

Flash.

This has always been of minimal help and less so now that there is a

utility that makes it easy for anyone to unprotect a Flash .swf file.


The real protection is that when someone imports an .swf file everything

is on a single layer, buttons and Movie Clips only have the Face

graphics and don't function, and only images that are symbols and appear

on the main timeline are retrievable. So it is very important that you

keep back-ups of your FLA files in a safe place.

It does not prevent files from residing on the hard drive.


If you don't want someone else to use your files try not to make them

generic and include your name in a conspicuous place and/or a hidden

place.
