Re: FLASH: ENCRYPTION and Flash 4

[Samir Thaker]

if i do that, wouldn't the score= line still be sitting there at the end of

the url on the users machine? the key here is that i need to stop users from

submitting false point values (that is, editing the score= line and changing

it to 9999999999999 or something like that when they only really recieved

100 points). it's not really important for the data to be secure on its way

to the server over the internet, but i need a way to encrypt it before it

leaves the swf file.
