Basic Flash Password Protection

From Adrien-Luc Sanders, former About.com Guide

In order to use password protection, you’ll need first a scene, then an input field. Once you’ve set your scene, then draw a new text field with the Text Tool. Set the type to Input Text, using the dropdown in the Properties pane.

An Input Text field isn’t like a normal text field; instead of displaying text we specify as part of the movie, it exists so that the user can enter text. In this case, they’re going to enter password text so that our Flash movie can check to see if it’s the correct value.
