Website and User accounts and passwords

[hott5hotj]

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,
