Sorry, if something is displayed on a computer monitor it can be captured.

If you're in a kiosk situation then you could just hide the keyboard, but

heck, they could then take a camera to it.


It's straightforward to enable and disable certain printing aspects in the

Macromedia Flash Player itself, but it's hard to prevent digital content

from being captured in at least some way, sorry.


(I don't know what your presentation is, but if you need to make sure

certain figures cannot be seen later, then one way is to keep the secret

text on the server and access it through a LoadVariables call, and then

delete that file from the server when done. This means the SWF would never

hold the info itself, and could be viewed later without revealing the data.

They'd still be able to do a capture at time of original display, though.)
