Hey all,
My boss, who is a bit paranoid, has a spiffy new Flash presentation that he wants to show potential investors. However, he wants the presentation to "delete itself" after it is viewed 2 or 3 times. The download itself will be from a password-protected site, but he doesn't want people to be able to pass the Flash files around once they've seen it.
What is the best way of doing this? Should I . . .
A) use a .exe to download the flash file from the web and then delete it when done each time someone wants to view it? I can then get the .exe to expire after a certain number of views or hours, as if it was an evaluation copy of software (right? Never tried that before, but I assume it isn't too tough).
B) embed the whole Flash presentation in the .exe so that only one download is required, and then have that .exe time out as before?
C) follow your suggestion, which you are sure to make, and which I am too dumb to think of right now.
Any advice here would be more than appreciated. Thanks for reading.
