Email protection?

[Maggee]

When email link is embedded in .swf file, is it protected from spam-bots or email harvesters? Or does something else need to be added?

No, is not protected.
Certain web bots and spiders are able to scan the SWF files.
But you can fool them ...

Spread these instructions around:
george = "maggee";
walker = "@hotmail";
bush = ".com";

Now the script for that button:
on(release){
_root.getURL("mailto:"+george+walker+bush);
}

Another method is to encrypt all the variables.
But (in this case) this a waste of resources for an insignificant thing ...

have fun

heres another way for the main timeline actions if you want it in there =)

george = "maggee";
walker = "@hotmail";
bush = ".com";

button.onRelease=function(){
_root.getURL("mailto:"+george+walker+bush);
}

well they both do the same thing.

tried it myself and it worked when I realised my mistake, I han spelt walker wrong in this line
_root.getURL("mailto:"+george+walker+bush);

You could look into form mail, which keeps you more privite but not 100 percent. There are some at koolexchange.
