a Non-Perl solutin(?)

I know I'm probably gonna get flamed for that... but I thought of one way to protect pictures from download and viewing offline.. you can use Macromedia's Flash.. :-s

I though of it when one of my friends wanted to put his images on the web but didn't want them to be downloaded..

here's the deal: (I suppose you know Flash)

• You make one movie with the picture on the main timeline at Frame 3.
• at frame one you load a movie with an absolute URL.
• at frame 2 you stop the main timeline.
• The Loaded movie tells the parent movie to goto frame 3 _level0.gotoAndStop(3);

This way, someone who is not online cannot view the picture, because the URL is absolute http://.../../movie.swf

I know, I know, Just hit on Print Screen button and you got a snapshot of the browser playing into the clipboard... oh well...

Real security on this?? you can't
