I'm not into gatekeeper.

I'm looking for something else.

It just needs to be pretty simple. No username, just a password field.

Here's what I want.

Index page loads. Flash animation loads. But before you can watch the flash animation, a html password box pops up and prompts you to enter in the password before you can watch the flash video.

I can't seem to find anything that'll help me do this however.

There are very few, if any, ways to do this with actual "security". It could probably be done pretty easily with javascript, but then anyone who has used a web browser for more than about a week would know immediately to look at the source to find your password.
I'd say you're probably better off using .htaccess to protect the animation file- the only caveat is that it wouldn't even begin loading until the proper credentials are supplied (and it would require username and password)
