Folks

I have swf files generated from Captivate - I want to stream these to prevent
browser caching and conceal original file location

Can anyone point me to sample files or notes on how to do this using Flash
media server?

I have managed to glean that it might be posible - swf file on web site
connects to asc file on Flash media server which then gets the actual swf from
location on web server and serves it via Flash media server to the client - but
I need to see an example

Looking for either free or fee source


Regards

Steven

FMS does not serve .swf files... only flv and mp3. If you want to conceal the
server path to the .swf, I suggest you use an application server (like ASP or
PHP) to act as a proxy between the user and the .swf

For the caching issue, you can give the .swf nocache headers (again, you'd
need an application server for that), but honestly, there is no foolproof way
of protecting .swf content or preventing people from downloading it for
themselves. The best you can do is create a lot of hoops for people to jump
through in order to get there.

Thanks

There is a need for some form of DRM for swf format content

(hint to adobe)
