hey this is my first time posting. i am trying to figure out how to make a simple box in which the user will enter a predetermined password and then click on a button to verify it… after verification the flash will forward to another page… your help is appreciated. thanks 🙂 ---

[Here’s one](http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/beginner/Password_protected_pages/index.shtml). I’ve not used it myself so I can’t say if it’s any good or not. I wouldn’t put anything to sensitive behind the password, as they are so easy to hack in Flash. ---

That’s pretty easy to do in flash. But it’s also very unsecure. :- Anyone with a swf decompiler could easily get the username and password. You should use PHP/MySQL or something like that. Anyway, here’s a little example in Flash. 😏 ---

Hmmm… that’s what I get when I forget that I was replying to a thread. 😛 ---

Yeah, so true. And that makes it even more unsecure. 😛 ---

thank you soo much for your replies… this is not for a secure site. its for someone that wants to keep certain people out. but its not for high level security or anything. just something simple and if people get past it, well kudos to them. ---
