Is flash something that would be secure? Lets say I made a login in flash that only let people to a certian frame if they had correct pw. Is there anyway to actually get to different frames without being led to them by the maker? would this be efficient in keepin information private for say a company?
I understand someone could crack a pw and all that but besides havin the pw is there any other way to do this?
no. There are programs that can view the code of a flash file. It could technically be more secure if you put the login information in a database and used PHP to call the variables into Flash… but even that could be hacked…
Depending on how you set it up someone could use next frame or previous frame to get past it.
The biggest problem is that passwords that are coded into the flash file itself are exremely easy to find out. I would not try to use flash as a pasword page, the best way would be to use server side password protection but if that won’t work you may look into php or asp for more security.
so if the pw was kept in a different secure file would that work? (such as a database like jubba said), assuming the projector controls we set so you couldn’t goto the next frame on a right click?
