Hi Mike, This method has been used to secure resources loading into Flash for a long time and works rather easily.
To use this method, you should learn about FlashVars so that you can pass your encrypted token to Flash. Your token can be any number of things, but I would suggest a combination of a Unique ID( uuid() ), some other random characters and the actual id of the 'ticket'. Flash decrypts it, verifies that it's legitimate, than re-codes it along with the requested file and sends it to the server-side. The server-side receives the request and validates the token, than processes the request and returns the file. I dug up an example that was built for the Flash Media Server, but the process is similar and should work well. http://echo.ryerson.ca/authentication/ !k -----Original Message----- From: Mike Francisco [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2008 2:45 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Secure Flash Audio Player and CF Hello Kevin, Can you explain a little further- or perhaps even provide a simple sample code. It seems like your method will work on securing flv paths on FLV players as well. Thanks in advance.
