   Is there a better way to protect the content on a page?
   I used the password protect feature then i viewed the page source
   And was able to see the flash code and get the url to the video i was trying to protect on the page.

   Thanks

   How is the video inserted into the page?

   Is it hiding everything but that from the content?

   Do you have any plugins that may affect this?

   Can you try deactivating them to see if the problem goes away.

   can you try with a default theme to see if the issue still exists.

   How would someone know the URL of the flash unless they had already entered the password to see the page?

   I'm using the Videowhisper setup
   They have several applications i'm using their Live streaming

   It's sort of a stand alone php version they customised for wordpress

   I don't know how you would actually secure the video screens when someone is live streaming

   So i built it into wordpress, i then create a user account for example model1

   I then logged in as model1 and activated her live stream which gives u three options under the chat to take the embed code, so i take that code and i created a new page for that embed code.
   And password protect the page.

   So there's no other user accounts on the wp site,

   A visitor comes to the site and clicks on one of the model's names on the top menu and they are directed to that model's page where they are asked for a password to see the page where that model's live embed flash video is.

   How do they get the password, that's done outside the site..

   They enter the page where the flash video is and goto page source
   Take the url for that video and paste it into their browser
   Then they can access the video again without any restrictions.,

   I dunno what else i can do but ideally it would be good ig they couldn't read that cource code but thats not possible is it.

   Stressed out

   It's a fairly simple setup i think, otherwise i'd have gave up weeks ago
   The reason it's so important is that if i can secure it i have several models that will use it which means i can make a living from it.

   But i can't use it as it is, i even tryed joomla but stupidly they are still working of roles and user access control so i deleted joomla and tryed wordpress.

   I need the money even if it's not much it's better than nothing.

   I'd love to show someone the whole setup, but i don't know anybody who's intrested in helping

   Doesn't Flash itself have some sort of password protected option?

   Latest updates allows controlling who can broadcast and who can watch (from flash application using wordpress login info).

   2.1
   * Permissions for broadcasters (members, list) and watchers (all, members, list).
   * Choose name to use in application (display name, login, nice name).
