making swfs safe from hackers?

[randomagain]

Well I remember kirupa saying swfs were disabled here because someone hacked the forum using them.

How safe are swfs?

I know a guy with a game website and we might use swf adverts, although I don't want to see the game torn to pieces.

thanks

Providing you know the source, they should be fine. The various security policies (and Player updates) that Adobe have introduced should also ensure that you won't experience any problems.
