SWF Protector Blocks Flash Theft
When you export your QuarkXPress layouts in Flash format, you may want to keep DComSoft’s SWF Protector in mind. This $40 application helps protect your Flash files from being reverse engineered and used in other projects without your permission.
It includes four different protection algorithms, supports ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0, offers batch file protection, and more. It also includes a simple mode, so users can protect their files without worrying about any settings, along with an advanced mode for users that want fine-tuned control over all of the security settings.
