Image protection?

[descartz]

I like the way that your program isolate with the image. However, are there any way in Flashpanorama to protect the pano image from being stolen? any encyption function could be arrange like Pureplayer? thanks.

Well an idea would be to use a Javascript to write the xml, and obfuscate the JS, protect the folder with all the images with the .httaccess. that could make it harder, and probably the thiefs will be lazy enough :P

Denis, can't the files be stored in an absolute path not reacheable by web? like per example if the FPP swf is in /user/public_html/ (web accessible ) can the images be in /user/panoimages (not web accessible) that would make it imposible for people stealing images (or at least make ir harder)...anyways thats an idea :-)

Unfortunatelly, all images that user can see on the page are always in his browser's cache...

Yes, this summer I will provide a solution, it will be more reliable than PurePlayer's cipher (I'm using asymmetric cryptoalgorithm ;) ).

Anyway, the panorama image can not be protected from PrintScreen. Several presses and you are able to stitch the panorama without noticeable quality loss... :)
