Password protected folders on CD

[ShckByte]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a CD that has password protected folders...is this possible within an executable file?

I am loading external swf files into a main executable flash file. The user will print off a certificate when finished and I need this and the externally loaded files within a main folder that is password protected.

Thanks in advance!

There's nothing you can do to prevent the user from accessing files that the application has access to... the user MUST be able to do anything the application can do because the app runs under the user account (same privileges). That, and the file systems you can put on a CD don't support operating system level permissions and access controls AFAIK.

What kinds of files are you trying to protect and how are you going too use them?

Thank you for your response. I am trying to mainly keep them from a certificate that will print at the end of the training.

I got that part, but what kind of file (or files) make up the certificate? Is it something that your SWF is going to generate that you need to print? Is it a PDF? HTML?

Oh, sorry. The certificate is actually within a quiz made by Captivate...they are now talking about having it so that when the user passes an email is generated. But either way, I still need to figure out how to hide the Certificate which is a .swf file. Thanks!
