I was looking around for some encryption/decryption methods in flash that works also with PHP. And I found some interesting websites with a simple explanation. The first one is a simple XOR encryption/decryption inside flash.

The second website I found uses the as3Crypto library and decrypts it on the server side using PHP. The links for the explanation and the library the use are here:

The third website I found is also interesting and has some data service libraries for Flash, Air and PHP:

This last one is based on some JavaScript functions found on the following page. This could be usefull with AJAX like applications.

Last week I found some interesting information about a new engine being made for CS5 and Flash Builder 4. This will support better fond embedding and new elements inside a TextFlow ( new TextField ). It has support for LinkElements, ParagraphElements, DivElements, InlineGraphicElements and also a new layout for Japanese text markup based on the w3.org standard. Here are some links with more information:
