Login Using Flash MX, PHP, and MySQL

1

I’ve almost completed this tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/authentication.htm

Here are my quesitons:

  1. Do I need to have a status box + the corresponding code to make this work?

  2. I don’t get what this means, or how to do this:
    [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=1][COLOR=black] In frame two, you put the stuff you needed the password for -the secret stuff!! This is an endless thing. You can load in text files. Or put a button to popup a HTML file (with no address bar for added security) with your ‘secret stuff’. You could even put a movie right after the login page, or put in an empty movieClip to load in different SWF movies!! So many things you can do - enough to make my head hurt! Moving on!
    [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]Is this where I put the user’s file? So if Joe inputs user name and it’s right his file shows up?
    I’m thinking: when the user log’s in, it takes the client to there .html page in the same browser no pop up or open browser

  3. Do all the files have to uploaded to my server in order to test?

Thanks for your time.
