Does anyone know of any good obfuscation tools, plugins and or scripts that will work well with Actionscript? Since AS3 is based on ECMAScript I’m guessing that Javascript obfuscators might work as well.
Ideally I’m looking for something that would allow to set the level of obfuscation, or to only obfuscate parts of code, ie variables or private methods, etc.

If you want to protect your final SWFs, you’ll need to obfuscate the SWF rather than obfuscating the source code. While changing variable / function / etc names in the source code before compilation will provide some protection, it makes the process much more complex and misses out on several additional levels of possible obfuscation available by processing the compiled SWF.
There are numerous SWF obfuscators available; here’s a topic that covers that (note all of the linked topics on the right-hand side). My personal favorite is secureSWF.
