Actionscript 3.0 :: Load Files From Password Protected Folder?
Apr 29, 2009
I have a Flash application that displays online e-learning tests. Once a user successfully logs in(via .net webservice) the app loads in XML files, images and audio files via Loader/URLRequest objects and uses the loaded data to render the test on screen.This all works fine but recently the decision has been made to put the XML and media files used by the tests in a password protected directory for extra security.I was wondering if anyone has any experience loading files into Flash from password protected folders. From what I can see online I could specify the username and password for the folder as HTTP request headers using a URLRequestHeader object and set the requestHeaders property of the URLRequest to this URLRequestHeader obj. But this only seems a possibility with the POST method and I am using GET.Also even with the POST method there seems to be issues with sending a HTTP Authorization header in player versions before 9.0.124Is what I am trying to do possible or is it not allowed due to Flash security restrictions?

Today, we can create password protected swfs using various content generation tools. When the user opens that swf, he/she needs to enter a password, and only then the encrypted swf can be viewed.Now, I am trying to load one such encrypted swf in a flex based AIR application, and I am using the SWFLoader class for that. But instead of the user entering the password, I want the application to provide the password at the time of loading the swf. Is this even possible? I tried googling, but nothing came up.

that is there any way to protect the Flash source (FLA) file with password. So that if any body wants to open the file in flash it should ask the password before opening.

I have my flash setup so that it stores information in an XML file. It grabs the current XML file and then appends the new data to the end of the XML file. It does this by using the short PHP file below:
[Code]....
The problem is that I want to make it so people can't just go and grab the data.xml file. How do I protect the data.xml file so that no one can access it unless it is accessed via the Flash?
I have tried messing with some .htaccess settings but can't seem to get it to work. I was thinking I could create some kind of .htaccess setting so that the data.xml file would be password protected and only the swf and php file could have access to it.

I use the JQuery plugin Uploadify for uploading files. It works fine in all browsers. If however I imlement a passwort protection via .htaccess like this
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /my/path/to/.htpasswd
AuthPGAuthoritative Off
Require user dev
uploadify stops working in Firefox. In Chrome it still works.
In Firefox the file select box works, but after I selected a file the progress bar does stay at 0% and the file is not uploaded to the server.
I guess the issue is somewhere with flash on password protected sites. how I can fix this, without removing the password protection?

without having to hardcode a username / password in my .swf file (very easy to decompile!), is it possible to send a URLRequest for some file (perhaps .php?) to a loader object which can load assets that reside in password protected directories?my PHP skills are weak at best, so if calling a .php script is the solution.

How its done?
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
if (password eq "caleb") {
tellTarget ("_root") {
gotoAndStop("private");
}} else {
tellTarget ("_root") {
gotoAndStop("error");
}}
It contains syntax error.

I have planned to create an educational application / movie in Flash 8 (contains exercises and final tests etc.). I want to protect my application with username and password. The script inside movie should generate the password for given key say in my case username it will output the hex key which can be your password and no need to store it. cause you put same logic in your app which will generate the same hex key for same key i.e. is your username

Ok this is what I would like to do. My project I am working on has an app that will upload image files to a specific folder on my server what I would like to do is have it load all the files in that folder through flash without me having to manually add the names of the files into the coding if possible.
I can create an image slideshow but I have to put in each and every .jpg and such I would prefer not to do that as in the future there may be more then 5-10 images.
In addition I already have the app created that uploads files.
