This is a very simple version, and could be done better by puting all paswords in an array - it would make it easier to update, but simple is good for now :
PHP Code:
 on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
        if (password eq "allowed") {
                nextMovie="specialArea.swf";
            _root.cover.gotoAndPlay("close");
        }else{
            nextMovie="sorry.swf";
            _root.cover.gotoAndPlay("close");
            
        }
        
}

Passwords
Hi Snapple,

Thanks very much mate, could you give an example with two different passwords in it so i know what to do for lets say 5 different movies and passwords.

would be most grateful if you can show this for me!

diceman,

btw - should have mentioed that "passwords" is the var name for the textfeield on the the root.

Well, you can do it this way:

PHP Code:
 on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
        if(password == "area"){
                gotoAndPlay("areaNew");
        }else if(password == "allowed"){
                getURL("allowed.htm", "_blank");
        gotoAndStop("userArea");
                
        }else{
              gotoAndStop ("notAllowed");
       }
} 


So thats basically giving the intepretor loads of else statements, that works fine.



Hope this is of help.

Snapple

..........but that can lead to a bit of monitor hitting when changing passwords, so you could just write a function to check an array, like this:

PHP Code:
var passArray = ["sam", "bruno", "jack", "martin", "pat"];

function checkPass(){
    for(var i = 0; i < passArray.length; i++){
    if(enterArea == passArray[i]){
        trace("your in");
        }
            
    }

} 


then on the button have this:

PHP Code:
 on(release){
checkPass();
}

I don't know if each user has a unique password, or if you want to validate users as well, but if you wanted to check that user enters their own password, I would set up an accociative array:
PHP Code:
 passwords["user1"] = "password1";
passwords["user2"]= "password2";
 . . . 

and then just make one check, avoiding the loop:
PHP Code:
if(passwords[user] == password) {
     //grant access
}
else {
  // deny access
}
