Most of the time. secureSWF can figure out when eval (or set) is used and how to handle it in most cases, such as: for(i = 0; i trace(eval(“myArray” + i)); But in other cases that we’ve seen, handling eval and set were a problem for secureSWF as well as for us: vars = “abc”; … set(vars.substring(0,1), 5); … trace(a); The rule is, you can use eval and set to concatenate strings together to make up a variable name.
