By domain locking (or site locking), we are restricting the SWF to be run only from a certain domain, ie the SWF should execute normally only if it has been viewed from a certain domain. If it is loaded from other domains, the SWF should execute in an alternative manner – perhaps not run at all, or run with limited features (as the developer deems appropriate). This is usually done to prevent unauthorized re-distributions of SWF files.
