Re: FLASH: Giving away source

[Phillip Kerman]

You don't have to "give away the souce".  The point about JavaScript is it's

pretty open for anyone to see.


Whether or not you think you're giving away the source--you really are.

Tools like the one I mentioned look like they can open up .swfs.   I'm just

saying the work involved is not tied up in the source.


Frankly, despite how much I like (love) Flash... I'd have a hard time

calling any "code" in Flash serious programming.  It's mostly workarounds to

limits.  Actually you have to be a very clever programmer to use Flash--it's

simplicity makes it more difficult to program.  It's not like I'm frustrated

because someone wouldn't give me their code--I just sell it as part my

service and think some people are a tad paranoid to think anyone can simply

take their code and it's like they've lost their soul.
