I think it's fair to say that flash movies can be compromised to reveal
perhaps more than the author intended, especially where client side
processing of sensitive data is concerned.

        I am having a hard time understanding how that is a security
hole, or a security fix.  If there is no secure information in the Flash
file to begin with, and he is simply interested in securing the webserver,
and it makes no outside calls to databases or scripts of any kind, it is not
a dangerous binary.  Further, using multiple flash files wouldn't stop
anything.
