user name password

Question

i have a flash website and need to include a user name -
password field with a submit button so clients can log on to a
client page, so my cleint can log on and i can get paid. I've never
done this in flash before, have tinkered with real basic stuff in
asp and such, i've heard the most sucure way is using php. What i
need to learn is how to make a simple log on in flash that when the
user inputs the right information it will send them to the next
page. So whats the best way to do this? is there a tutorial a
beginner can understand somewhere, need this so i can set up a page
so my cleints can log on and go to a page containing paypal links
and possiably to include intitial links to cleints sample work and
such, any ideas, need something quick.

Currently you can see my problem at: www.designbytreitner.com
At the top right it says payment, you click on that it brings
you to a page, very tacky, very basic, and very unproffessional
looking, not to mention unsucure. So how can i clean this up, with
a simple user name password to access the client payment page to
keep unwanted users out?

I have used many flash logins in the past. Some of the following may be useful
- http://tutorial148.easycfm.com/ - secure CFM login
- http://www.flzone.com/showDetail.asp?TypeId=13&NewsId=3828&offset=5 - Insecure .txt login
- http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/authentication.htm - Can be secure/insecure depending on http/https, PHP and mySQL.
- http://www.5pieces.com/index.php/tutorials/comments/simple_login/ - Simple as2 login

I like the .txt login because it easy to make new user logins - very quick and very very easy.

Yes, i've heard there is a lot to know. I was leaning towardsdoing something with asp, php, text files or something simularbecause i have some knowledge of them. I have never done anythingwith mysql although my server does allow for it, and i beleiveincludes basic files, but i've never used or explored it. I won'tbe storing anything too sensative on the more secure log on sectionof my site . Just links to a paypal page were cleints can makepayments to me, and some links to cliint work under development forthem to reveiw. Although i'd like it as secure as possiable, mymain purpose at this point is to keep out the average visitor,hackers can always find a way in, if they really want to. So mymain goal at this point is to set up something that works, isn't tohard to do, and keeps the average visitor out unless they have thepassword. i'd like the basic stuff like buttons, text, and stuff inmy flash movie, and the coding and password info and such insomething like a text file, php, or something that can be put intoa subfolder and used, so it's not out there with the main files andeasily veiwable. so any ideas for a good tutorial, or method icould use, that isn't that hard to learn? I don't want to spend amonth learning sql just to make a log buttons, i just want to usesomething i have a basic understanding of to make a clean usableset up in flash.
