HELP (Password ActionScript)

[Billy Baker]

 Hello,

I've been trying to make a password script on my forum, but still no luck. Can anyone help?
Here is the code I have for the post new topic button:

on (release) {
  if (password eq "password1") {
     SubmitTopic.gotoAndStop(2);
  } else {
     ForumMovieClip.gotoAndStop(3);
     on (release) {
  if (Category ne "") {
     SubmitTopic.gotoAndStop (2);
     SubmitTopic.Submit = "SubmitNew";
     Submittopic.Status = "Post a new topic to the "+ CategoryName +" Category";
  } else {
     Status = "Please Choose a Category";
  }
}

  }
}

Do you see a problem with the code?

Thanks,

Billy

Hi,

anybody could open the swf from the temporary browser files with notepad and find out the password...

Hello,

Not if it's in the FLA when I export it.

Cheers,

... not if you just kee the fla and never publish the swf

Just try it: open the swf in notepad ... within a sea of gibberish you will find some islands of readable text. One of them will likely have the variable name "password" and its expected value close together

Hello,

Well if you have a better password script than give it to me otherwise that's the best I could find.
I got the post new topic to work. The new problem is when I click submit new topic it says please select a category when I already selected a category. That do you think?

Cheers,

Billy
