You could also store your authentication credentials in a file(xml?) on the server.
The starting place is to choose your back-end platform/language(Java, php, CF,.net, etc). Then choose the RPC protocol(RemoteObject, HTTPService, WebService) you will use between flex and that platform. Then choose your Flex client UI style( ViewStack, pop-up, etc.) Tracy Spratt Lariat Services Flex development bandwidth available ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Wally Kolcz Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 9:53 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: re: [flexcoders] Re: Login / Password Form I used a database and RemoteObject/Web Services to check a CFC with the query to see if the username and password matches and returns any info I need then I have something like this: public function loginHandler(e:ResultEvent):void { userData = e.result as ArrayCollection; if (userData.length == 1){ //Whatever you want to do. }else{ username_txt.text = ""; password_txt.text = ""; Alert.show("Incorrect username and/or password. Please try again.","Login Error"); } } I hide the login box and show the rest of the app which I have wrapped in a canvas which visible is set to false. If you dont want to have a database you could use an Array or Object to store username and passwords hardcoded and check against them. Or if you have just one username/password you could just use something like: public function login(username:String, password:String):void { if (username == "someusername" || password = "somepassword"){ //Your code to do whatever you want. }else{ username_txt.text = ""; password_txt.text = ""; Alert.show("Incorrect username and/or password. Please try again.","Login Error"); } } ________________________________ From: "valdhor" <valdhorli...@embarqmail.com> Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 6:42 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Login / Password Form These threads should get you started: http://www.nabble.com/Login-Registration-Page---tp21747714p21748295.html <http://www.nabble.com/Login-Registration-Page---tp21747714p21748295.htm l> http://www.nabble.com/flex-login-popup-help-needed-pleaseeeeeeeee-tp2077 2482p20833766.html <http://www.nabble.com/flex-login-popup-help-needed-pleaseeeeeeeee-tp207 72482p20833766.html> HTH Steve --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "christophe_jacquelin" <christophe_jacque...@...> wrote: > > Hello, > > I am searching a code source exemple for a classical login / password > form in a flex application. > > Did I need absolutely a database to store Passwords ? > > Thank you, > Christophe, >
