this best thing that I can tell you is go here
[L=flashkit]http://flashkit.com[/L] there you will find what you need but a
better way than a text file is a database driven login but there is many people
who have the asked the same question. So there are examples everywhere. hope
this helps.

If you do it this way, at best all someone needs to do is open your swf in
notepad, and the URL of your text file will be visible to them. At worst
they will need to use one of the many, many apps that decompile swf's to get
the URL. Once they have the URL of your text file, they have ALL your
usernames and passwords.
Much better to set up a simple database and query from your Flash that via
PHP or ASP or whatever. More complex job obviously, but if you want any kind
of actual security, a text file is hopeless.
