Help
I am writing a mobile application using the Flickr API and Adobe Flex (or Apache Flex, whatever you wanna call it).
I read that it is a bad idea to put the key in the SWF file because there are apparently several tools to decompile SWF files and someone could steal the API Key.
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Alejandro
