Movie protection Actionscript

[SkullRocker]

i was looking over this tutorial , under the movie protection section, and it explains how to make your movie only viewable on newgrounds. it says the actionscript for it is:

checkurl=(new String( _root._url ).slice( 0, 25 ));
if (checkurl=="http://uploads.ungrounded"){
block.gotoAndStop(1);
}else{
block.gotoAndStop(2);
}

but lets say i want to put my animation on my site, brocolli.com (i just made it up, so dont try it). then the tutorial suggests that the AS should be:

checkurl=(new String( _root._url ).slice( 0, 23 ));
if (checkurl=="http://www.brocolli.com"){
block.gotoAndStop(1);
}else{
block.gotoAndStop(2);
}

would it really be that simple? just 'if (checkurl=="http://www.brocolli.com"){' ? what if when you click on the link to open the animation, it opens a different link, lets says i opens brocolli.com/anim2. then would i have to change the part in the AS to 'if (checkurl=="http://www.brocolli.com/anim2"
){' ? if i kept it as just 'if (checkurl=="http://www.brocolli.com"){', would it still work because it just check the first 23 characters becasue i set the number on 'slice' as 23?

im not one for actionscripting, but that seems like it'd work just www.brocoli.com

it would work as long as its correctly trimmed. doing so means that it doesnt look at anything that trimmed off, becuase its trimmed off.

Yep, you would only be checking the first 23 characters which would be the same for http://www.brocolli.com/ and http://www.brocolli.../crazyAnimation.html
or even http://www.brocolii...sion.php?id=10383028

. No need to change your code for each animation you publish (assuming you keep uploading it to brocolli.com of course.)
