Question
Is there any way to disable the "Download This Video" button from RealPlayer. It seems that when users have RealPlayer installed on their machines, it automatically adds a "Download This Video" button to any SWF that loads an FLV.
Edit: My intention isn't to prevent someone from downloading the SWF or FLV, I would just like to remove the ugly button that RealPlayer adds on top of my Flash content.
Solution
This is a pointless attempt to control something that can easily be circumvented. This is the same argument as "how can I prevent people from saving the images off my site".
There's always a way.
For example: http://www.downloadhelper.net/
OTHER TIPS
After you embed the Flash content, remove the following attribute from the embedding tag:
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
You will notice that the download button will disappears because it can't tell what exactly the content is. But this is only a hack, not the best practice of getting the task done.
