Hey all, looking for any help i can get with this one, what im looking to do is be able to add more than one “user”, the script as is now, lets a user “log in”, unsecurly which lets them view another “flash” page, im really not that concerned with security locks, as this is more so for a false sense of security, and their looking for more than one user to login,heres my action script?  
Thanks for the help,

tim

function login(user, pass) {  
trace (user+" ",+pass)  
if (user == “flash”&& pass == “vista”) {  
//login ok, update the status textfield and proceed to the secured area  
status = "Welcome, "+user;  
gotoAndStop(2);  
} else {  
// login failed, you might want to output some error messages here.  
if (user != “flash”) {  
status = “Wrong username”;  
} else {  
status = “Wrong password”;  
}  
}  
}  
// Stop the movie here  
stop();

&& means “and” so you should add an operand which means “or”

like (the code below is not a code, just my idea of the concept)

if (user == “flash”&& pass == “vista”) or(if (user == “flash2”&& pass == “vista2”)  
status = "Welcome, "+user;  
gotoAndStop(2);

I don’t think you need the second if:

```auto

if((user == "flash" && pass == "vista") or (user == "flash2"&& pass == "vista2")){
   //this should work
} 

```

Use || not or.

Also, if you’re looking to make something which is extensible (ie: have more than two users), you should really have an array of users and passwords and just cross check (ie: userArray[“flash1”] = “vista1” userArray[“flash2”] = “vista2”). Then your check would be like this no matter how many users you add to the array:

if(userArray[user] == pass)  
{  
//login successful  
}

also, i noticed that it will quickly show the secured page for less than a seccond then go to the login page? Could this just be a delay with the pc or would it be a flash error?

thanks,
