Flex Link Hider

Application installation:

Extract the folder into your working directory.
Implement example.php to your application.

Important Questions

1) Is this 100% foolproof?
No it is not, as a matter of fact, to decode the link, it will take less than 5 minutes to do so, as the encode/decode functions are open and so is the key. However, it will make it hard for the normal users to do.
2) Can I make this any harder?
Yes, by hiding the key, which is not possible except if you have access to actionscript builders, like Flash Builder. If you are interested, you can contact me for the original project source code so you can use it and hard code the key and build your unique swf file.

Alternatively, you can make this harder by generating the keycode on the fly and sending it that way. This way if someone tries to scrape your website, they will actually have to look for the key instead of them having it hard coded.

Encoding Links:

PHP Code: <?php require('linkHider.class.php'); = new Encoder(); = (,'keyEncodeUse'); ?>

Flash Variables:

Now, you need to pass theLink and the KeyEncodeUse to the flash object using flash vars, You can also set other various flash vars to customize the looks. Here is a complete list:
keyFile » location of the file containing your "keyEncodeUse" string
key » or you can just send the "keyEncodeUse" string using the flash var » or you can use the preset "keyEncodeUse" of asd123456693 by not sending any key info
width » Width of the flash object default » 240
height » Height of the flash object default » 22
label » The text label default » Click Here Now
bgColor » Flash object background color default » #CCCCCC
textColor » Label Text color default » #000000
openType » Link target type default » _self, available:_self, _parent, _blank, _top
toolTip » Label Text tooltip on mouse over, use % in place of link default » null
