I have created a video upload application that works fine. The problem is, it exists on a server that is password protected through an .htaccess file.

When I first navigate to the url, the browsers password based prompt comes up. I enter the username/password and I am now in the site.

Now my problem starts here -\> after I have selected my videos to upload and hit upload, it begins to upload and I am then prompted again by the browser for a username/password. The problem with this is every time I upload a video, I am also inserting into a database and with that username/password prompt, it skips the first video every time.

Any idea why I am prompted for the username/password again when I begin to upload in my flash uploader??
