Flash cs5 anti-decompiler ?

Question

Is there any tool that prevents decompilation ?

I stumbled once upon a flash file that would crash when I tried to decompile it. So would like to know which product could do so.

Answer 1

No, but you can obfuscate your code - with this for example:

Answer 2

CS5 files are based on the new XFL format, which is no more than a zip file, xml and assets:

Didn't know when I wrote the post, but even FLA files coming out CS5 are only XFL files, but compressed.

All this means that is highly unlikely that you would find a tool to prevent decompilation, specially once the specs are out.
