Forbid direct access to .swf files

    I am not sure if this is possible, but I hope it is.
    I got some arcade script and by looking at source of a game page you can see the path to .swf file where game is stored on a server.
    So I was hoping if there is a way to forbid direct access to those games so others couldn't download them, but still for them to be playable from our site.

    Thanks in advance.

    I doubt it's possible bro, even the top sites like miniclip cant to do that (Well they did something else and most of their stuff cant be viewed if on another site, I tried :( )

    But otherwise to miniclip I have never seen a site do that, but a lot try to hide them under a hefty amount of folders.



    But if someone knew please tell me lol.

    I have seen sites mask the location of video content using javascript. I might be possible this way?

    There seem to be some scripts that can to some extent hide source code or at least make it harder to see, but haven't done a deeper search on it or tried any.

    You can't forbid it or it wouldn't load when it's embedded. You can try SWFEncrypt and hopefully it works for you.

    If it can be viewed, it can be downloaded
