protect your swf

Hello I know I have asked this question before, however I
haven't really got a definative answer. I am trying to protect the
work I have spent a year creating from being stolen.



1/ Most large sites have got a copyright for their sites?
anyone know how one goes about this.?



2/ Is there a way to properly encrypt your swf so that it is
not possible to decompile? as everything I have read so far
basically says there is no ponit to encrypt because anyone who
really wants to get at the file will be able to decompile it
encrypted or not?



3/ Also my swf file requires a lot of comunicating with a
database using php pages, therefore anyone wanting to decompile my
work, would also need to have the php files, therefore should I not
worry?.



Thanks to any responders. Jprotect your swf

Bottom line, you can't protect SWF files.

Even if you scramble the source, there is only how much you
can do it before

getting in trouble with the player. Might end up not being
able to understand

your file. Also any future update or new version might simply
cause the files

to stop working.

Now, whatever was scrambled, can be unscramble and
reproduced.

You can't protect SWF file.

That's just legal term, does not mean someone will obey it or
will be stopped from

taking your swf files. Best to consult someone qualified.
Each country has its own

ways dealing with intellectual properties.

not as straight forward as self contained movie in single swf
but still possible
