password protected site

Hi all,

I created a login/password page to limit access on the site i'm building.
What i'd like to do is redirect all access to this first page but don't really know how to do that?

Do you guys have any ideas, advises?

PS: i'm using MOD multilingual from Ramiro

You can't enforce this in Flash with any reliability. You should use htaccess.

Hi Steven,

ok - i'm going to search this way

have a good day

If you wanted to do it purely in Flash, you could set a global variable.

Code:

public class GlobalData
{
    public static var authenticated:Boolean;
}

In Main.as...

Code:

GlobalData.authenticated = false;

In your login page, on successful login:

Code:

GlobalData.authenticated = true;

In Index page...

Code:

Gaia.api.beforeTransitionIn(checkAuthentication);

private function checkAuthentication(event:GaiaEvent):void
{
    if (!GlobalData.authenticated) Gaia.api.goto(Pages.LOGIN);
}

In site.xml, set indexFirst to true.

Code:

<site indexFirst="true">

Oh yes that's the bomb! and clear!
thanx!

I lack OOP bases - but with your framework i can learn while working
that's great

Hey Steven,

I understand that verifying in Flash won't offer the security of handling logins on the server side with php, but thanks for spelling out how to do this in such clear terms. 

In the very first code snippet where you create you class GlobalData and your static var authenticated, does that constitute its own as3 file - eg. GlobalData.as3

And you then use: import GlobalData in main.as, login.as, and index.as?

(sorry, I know that's more of a basic ActionScript question than Gaia, but I'm hoping to catch you in merciful spirits    )

Thanks

Yes.
