title: Is there any way to hide the variables that are being passed to Flash by swfobject when someone views source?
body: <p>I have some Flash swfs that are embedded using swfobject and I pass them some vars like user id. How do I prevent people from reading these vars? If someone views the source of the php page that embeds the swfs they can see all the variables that are being passed to flash. Is there a way to hide these vars? What other ways are there to do this? I have thought about setting up an ExternalInterface and calling a javascript function to pass the vars to Flash - would this effectively hide the data I am sending? </p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
