C# Class SwfDotNet.IO.Tags.ProtectTag

ProtectTag marks a file as not-readable, preventing the file from being loaded into an editor.

In order to use the debugger a password must be supplied. When encrypted using the MD5 algorithm it must match the value stored in the password attribute.

IMPORTANT: this form of protection only works with Macromedia's Flash Authoring tool. Any application that parses Flash files can choose to ignore or delete this data structure therefore it is not safe to use this to protect the contents of a Flash file.

Transform will parse all Flash files containing the Protect data structure. Since the encoded data is can be removed by trivial scripts the level of copy-protection offered is minimal. Indeed the use of the Protect mechanism in Flash movies may lead to a false sense of security, putting proprietary information at risk. Sensitive information should not be included in Flash movies.

This tag was introduced in Flash 5.
