Re: [WebDNA] OT? - how to get webdna to tell browser to open SWF directly in the browser?
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2009

texte = Pat I am new enough at all things flash, that I am glad to see your input; I never know what I'm going to need to learn from.. but I think you missed what I need most right now; I already had html pages that were successfully playing swf files.. and I am already successfully protecting those pages with a custom webdna (cookie/db) protection scheme.. (users need to be members to see the swf files), .. But what I don't have is a way to keep clever users from looking at the source html of the page and sending the link to the actual swf file to a non- member friend who can then simply enter that URL in his browser and so bypass my protection scheme. Thus (thanks to Dan Strong) I tried using that [returnraw] code (see below) which allows me to first check with webdna (on the same page) if the user is a member, and if so then just dump the swf file (located in ^Globals, unaccessible directly) to the user with [returnraw].. . BUT that code (as I posted, see way below) only prompts the user to either save the file to disk or else open with another application.. rather than what I want - to just start playing in the browser window. If there is a way to translate what you just posted into what I need to stick in the [returnraw] context, then I humbly admit I don't have that skills set yet.
