Can you put ActionScript in Flash to prevent it from running if it is not on a
private company network when it is accessed through a VPN connection--In case
someone copies the file from the intranet site and wants to distribute it? Can
you check the IP range of where it is executing and make sure it is within the
company's range? Is there a way to require access to a database or a text
file that sits on the network and if that doesn't exist don't run the flash?
These are not necessarily strong security techniques but it would make it a bit
more difficult for someone.

The problem is this: the user clicks on an intranet link and can save that file
to disk. When they are off the network they can view/distribute the file. Are
there any ways to make the flash code check for the private company network
before it plays?
Thanks

As Flash uses HTTP protocol, any security measure for an ordinary page would
also apply to Flash. Flash itself however cannot check IP's; but one could
of course use PHP or anything to check that and pass the value on to Flash.
Another option: why not simply put the entire Flash page behind a login?
