    *little decompilation challenge

    Today I was trying to develop my first Flex-Facebook Application, just for fun. To achieve a connection between facebook and Flex you need a couple of keys, the application key and the Secret API key. The second one it’s very important and anyone shouldn’t know about it. The thing is that this keys must be embeded on the code ( If you don’t want to use PHP tokens, or similar stuff )
    I didn’t like that so I tried another solution, using Alchemy to hide the secret Key a little more, and maybe make the decompilation harder. The problem is that now I tried to decompile the SWF and I can’t find it anywhere, althought I know it hasn’t disappeared, I’d like to know where it is!
    Anyone can help me?
