Message before the start

[dam85]

Hello,
I have to check if an user is authorized to see the content inside swf file.
Can i show a message if the user is not authorized, and "block" the application?

thanks

do you have any idea ?

Yes, there are several ways to do this. It can be simple or very complicated.

I have a simple example on [url]www.cflex.net[/url]. Search for: login

I have an idea. You can use Alert control to this. Alert has a property called
Modal which you can use to restrict the user to proceed or if you want
otherwise.

This is the example.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--
[url]http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/12/13/creating-nonmodal-alert-dialog-boxes-in-[/url]
flex/ -->
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="vertical"
verticalAlign="middle"
backgroundColor="white">

<mx:Style>
Alert {
modalTransparencyColor: black;
}
</mx:Style>

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;

private function button_click(evt:MouseEvent):void {
var flags:uint = Alert.OK | Alert.YES;
if (checkBox.selected) {
flags |= Alert.NONMODAL;
}
var alert:Alert = Alert.show("Message", "", flags);
alert.title = alert.toString();
}
]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:ApplicationControlBar dock="true">
<mx:CheckBox id="checkBox"
label="Alert.NONMODAL:"
labelPlacement="left"
selected="true" />

<mx:Spacer width="100" />

<mx:Button label="Launch Alert"
click="button_click(event);" />
</mx:ApplicationControlBar>

</mx:Application>

If you want this to be actually secure, as opposed to waving your hands at it,
you would need to do server side security and only return the SWF, or a sub
Module if the user passed server authentication. If the code hits the client
then assume it is compromised.

.... in your example there are two buttons, can i show an Alert without
buttons? i want to block the application....the user will must to close the
window of the page(browser)...
