Question about file encryption & protection

[apollogrnik]

Hello all,

I'm a novice (i guess) level user of AMS 6.0 and have worked with it for some time now. I've made various small projects (most of them in order to learn to use this program). But as I continue to explore the possibilities of it I have a question to make (silly to most of u that are more experienced users).

After the completion of the project, is it possible to protect certain files in the Image folder so that no one can copy them to his hard drive from the burned cd ? I have quite a few images (including the background of the pages) that I don't want someone to copy them. I' ve read some posts in the forum but I could not understand them. I have no experience in coding. I've read something about the Crypto script, but I can't understand it's usage.

My goal is not to make 1000s of copies and sell them or distribute them for profit. Just want to learn if it is possible to protect some files for others (and I mean friends, not customers) not to copy them.

Please give me a clue or something to start with....
Thank you in advance.

when you build your project, in the options dialog

For web exe, check "Encrypt Data Segment"

For Folder, Check "Rename Resource Files" and enter a name for the data folder

now....all your images, sounds,in fact anything that is not in the plugins or docs folder will be compressed and protected (to a certain degree) to .dat files after you have built the project.

For any files that are in the docs folder you will have to encrypt then manually
