Re: FLASH: password protection?

[Gregg Caines]

I suppose you could have some sort of serial number generator, 

and an actionscript 'serial number checker' that checks the 

number for some properties to make sure it's valid.  Most 

serial number generators do something with the user's name to 

convert it to a numerical string, so if the user enters her name 

and serial number, and that number matches the generated 

number for their name, then they get access.


You could do it without the user name altogether by relying only 

on serial numbers that have a specific property (like credit card 

numbers that can be checked with a simple mathematic formula)


These are both crackable methods...but I guess any method is 

crackable.  The SWF is by no means invulnerable to 

reverse-engineering, but it should be solid enough for your 

purposes unless you're selling plutonium or something. ;)
