OK, so I am working on a game with lots of actionscript. Since It will be a huge project, I want to make sure nobody steals it off my website until I release the full version. So, how do you domain lock with as2, flash player 8?

Thank you for your help. ;)

Domain locking won't work without also encrypting your actionscript, which you need an expensive third party program to do. there's tons of them out there, irrfuscator, swfencrypt, etc. most of those can also do the domain locking code for you. if you don't encrypt the code, it can easily be decompiled and then the domain locking code can easily be removed.

Paperclip made a tutorial about this kind of thing: http://forums.stickpage.com/showthread.php?19-Flash-Protecting-Your-Games!

Fun fact: It was the 19th thread ever made on Stickpage forums, making it the oldest one I know of off the top of my head. (Edit: I had a look and a thread from 3 days previous is just below it in the tuts section, but it's still pretty old!)

Quote from Hewitt
I was just wondering, why is 2-D a guest in that thread? Is that an entirely different 2-D than the one right now?

I'm honestly not sure why. I think it's the same guy. Maybe we allowed guests to post back then. It was long before my time.

i can't recall ever allowing guests to post. to me, a guest member implies a deleted account. which makes sense, because his current account was not always named 2-D. i suspect somebody deleted his old (probably banned) account to allow him to have his original name back via name change.
