Hello All, I have an intense situation right now, and I must come up with an answer ASAP.
I wrote a map viewer application for my client, in which my viewer can load .swf Vector Maps from a predetermined directory on the server. >From within my viewer, the users can perform drill-down queries, by selecting contents of multiple dropdown boxes - State, Region, then Lake Name. Paid subscribers, have full access to their maps - but it's imperative that they can ONLY view these maps from within the viewer app. Since the Flash Map Viewer, needs to retrieve these maps from the server using a public URL (unless I am overlooking something), how can I hide these maps from the world - if the outside users are able to figure out which path to type into their browser, and snatch up maps? I know that server-side scripts, can access local resources - like "D:\Documents", etc. - but once the Map Viewer is running from a Remote Browser, how can I bury these maps under some type of file system that is not directly accessible by the outside world (but only through the Map Viewer app)??? Also, once the user views a particular map, how can I prevent the map.swf file from being Cached on their hard drive? If any of you could help me out regarding this, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks, Mike _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
