New Encryption Tools for Flash


Amayeta Ltd announces the release of SWF Encrypt 4.0, a major update to their industry leading Flash Encryption Software.

Amayeta first launched SWF Encrypt in 2005, where it received mass acclaim for being the first mainstream encryption tool for Flash. SWF Encrypt 4.0 introduces advanced obfuscation Techniques along side proven encryption technology to further protect and secure Flash ActionScript Code.

ActionScript is the programming language used for scripting Adobe Flash movies and applications, referred to as SWF Files. The Adobe SWF File Format is an "Open File Format" which means there is no native protection and the contents of the SWF file can be viewed using Flash Decompiler Tools. These tools break open the resources that make up a SWF file and can display the full ActionScript Source Code. SWF Encrypt 4.0 shields ActionScript from Flash Decompilers and SWF hackers by encrypting and obfuscating the SWF whilst retaining its original functionality.

“The ActionScript in a Flash Movie is its most important asset” said Jaspal Sohal, Amayeta Founder and CEO, “Companies develop software in languages such as C++ and VB and go to great lengths to protect their source code. Why should ActionScript be any different? It’s the first, and possibly only, choice for developing Rich Internet Applications. Flash Developers should have a means to protecting their code and SWF Encrypt 4.0 provides that option.”

In addition to SWF Encrypt 4.0, Amayeta have also released SWC Encrypt 1.0, the industries first Encryption Tool for Flash Component Files. Built on the same Encryption Platform as SWF Encrypt 4.0, SWC Encrypt 1.0 has been in development for 2 years, and is the first commercial encryption solution for Flash SWC Files.

“Flash Components are an integral part of Flash and the Flash Development Community” said Simon Yang, Software Architect at Amayeta, “However they are notoriously time consuming to develop, yet notoriously simple to decompile. With some several thousand developers making a living from building Flash Components, it’s essential their work is protected.”

SWF Encrypt 4.0 and SWC Encrypt 1.0 are both available now for Windows. Mac OSX Editions are currently in development and planned for Q3 2007. Pricing is $125 for a single license, per product. Education, government, and volume pricing is available. To learn more about purchasing options, or to download the trial versions, visit http://www.amayeta.com

Top 10 Web Design Tips

  1. Keep content fresh. Perform monthly maintenance. Set calendar reminders for yourself to update time-sensitive pages like event calendars or posted
    deadlines.
  2. Use white space aesthetically. If your text is too dense, people won't read it. Bullet or number succinct bits of information.
  3. Keep graphics efficient. You may think your 200kb graphic is wonderful, but it will never show up on most users' screens (especially those on slower modems) as they just won't wait long enough to see it. Keep page sizes below 30k if you can (unless your graphics are the 'point' of the page).
  4. Keep your navigation really simple. Work out a consistent navigation style and stick with it. Try not to overload your pages with hundreds of choices that will confuse your visitors. Five to nine choices is the optimum.
  5. Use color to distinguish visited and unvisited links. Knowing where you've been is one of the basic features that all navigation designs should support.
  6. Always include contact information: phone, email.
  7. Test your pages by viewing them on multiple browsers and platforms. If possible, test it from your home computer.
  8. Test accessibility with the WebXACT Accessibility Checker. Always alt-text your graphics; see Accessibility Guidelines for instructions.
  9. Print your pages. Many of your users will print your pages for later reference. If it doesn't look right on paper, you're not done designing yet.
  10. Use the College's Style Guide - http://resources.css.edu/CollegeComm/docs/EditorialGuide.pdf
