Website and User accounts and passwords

6 New Member
How would I go about creating a logon system for a website such as ones found on sites such as this website. As in, there is a sign up form, you fill in your details, create a user name and password, and then an email is sent out to the new user who then clicks the link to presumably accept the new account and therefore store the details onto presumably a database for cross referencing each time that user logs on?

But the thing is I want to do this in an actionscript/flash environment...

Cheers

Hi hott5hotj!
You can't do that just with actionscript, you need a server-side script to do the real work of registering the user in a db, handle sessions/cookies, sendig the email confirmation, and stuff.
With Flash and AS you can do the interface and communicate with the script, so the user will only see the flash part, but the core will remain in the server-side script.

You can use the loadVariables method in AS2 or URLLoader Class in AS3.

Best regards,
The_Nephilim

On an Apache server, I want to be able to have a user name/password directory. I know this can be done with .htaccess, but I want to be able to do this for multiple users. The purpose of this, is that from the web page, I want clients to be able to have their own user name and password, which would grant them access to their own web page which would contain their client files for them to download. How can this best be accomplished...

I'm writing a program for a college to use to allow students to register their computers for use on the network. Aside from a bunch of security related checks I would like the program to offer to store the users network username and password so when they access network servers they are not prompted for their username every time. I can do it manually through the user accounts control panel -> Advanced Tab -> "Manage Passwords" button, but...

I'm trying to get a feel for what most people are doing or consider best practice. Given a mod_perl application talking to a PostgreSQL database on the same host, where different users are logging onto the web server using LDAP for authentication, do most people 1) have the web server connecting to the database using its own user account (possibly through ident), and controlling access to different database entities strictly through...

Good Evening: So, I wanted to learn a little about user accounts, because on of my databases has been put on a network drive, and I have a need to know who is entering what data into the application. I figured one easy way to do that would be to just create a user account for everyone and copy to the table "CurrentUser" each time a new record is added. Then I'll know who added the record. To learn this, I went to another site with a...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
