I wouldn't recommend any of them as a way to actually secure anything
as the end result must still be a SWF file that Flash Player can parse
correctly, and therefore they can be decompiled or debugged in order
to reverse the code.

The only example of obfuscated ActionScript that I've seen to date has
been a malware dropper. In that case it was about 20 minutes by hand
to reverse. About 1 minute for Wepawet to do the same.
