Or, being a flash developer, you can probably already code your own protection and tracker - it’s not that hard.
For protection, ensure _root._url is your site.
For tracking, do the following:
var tracker=new LoadVars();
tracker.sendAndLoad(”http://yoursite/tracker.php”,tracker,”POST”);
and make tracker.php store the server IP address (and any other details you want) in a database.
If you don’t know php, there are many tutorials, Google.
