The scripts are being bundled with an existing app and being sold at a
premium. If other people get hold of the scripts then they get the premium
product at the same price as the vanilla version.

The product has its own scripting language but requires some tasks to be
accomplished using AS. Another developer has come up with a method of
encrypting and securing the native scripts so that they can't be accessed -
which has left the AS scripts as the only part of the product that is open
to this sort of scrutiny.

I presume I can get around this by doing something along the lines of:

But it would be nice if there were an easier method :-(
