.htaccess to Flash

[birdboy0103]

Is it possible to get a flash login to interface with .htaccess and .htpassw (or whatever it is?)

Thanks very much

Not that I know of. What is it you are trying to do? There might be other methods to get what you want...

I've got an htaccess protected website, and i really want to use it, because it keeps all my data and error handling in one file... i can support php and CGI, but if i have to, i'd rather use php...and it should be secure...if possible

you can, but it'll have to be placed outside the protected folder.

since accessing a folder can be done through

http//<username>:<password>@mywebsite.com/myfolder

Set up two fields, instance names username, and password. Then, the login button (call it myButton) should have this action:


myButton.onRelease () {

getURL("http://" + username.text + ":" + password.text + "@mywebsite.com/myfolder", "_self" );

}

Hope that helps :)

Then, the login information will be visible to whoever can click on that myButton, right???

When you press myButton, it takes you to the folder's index, with the password you enter and username you entered as part of the url... does that answer your question? :)

Yup... Thanks for the confirmation... :)
