Flash Player Security
Posted: Fri Oct 16, 2009 2:03 amAdobe frequently updates the Flash Player software security model to improve the security of the Flash Player environment. However, that only addresses half of the overall solution to help securely deploy applications that run in Flash Player. As the web developer, you must also correctly leverage the tools provided by the Adobe ActionScript language and the Flash Player platform to help ensure that your SWF files are more secure. Poor programming conventions can expose SWF files and the sites that host them to web attacks. Adobe provides many resources for developers—such as the Flash Player security section of the Programming ActionScript 3.0 for Flash documentation—to assist with developing more secure code.
