When making flash games... beware of the leach!

Certain sites may try to leach your game by using frames (diagram) to display part of their site along with your game. They do this (a) to use your bandwidth and (b) to make money through advertisement revenue.

There is way to “break” the frames should someone try to leach
People may also try to hotlink your game. This means that they will display your game directly on their website, but again use your bandwidth. Most hosting providers provide hot linking protection, allowing you to specify which websites can access your file directly (not displayed in an html file)
