Php https login

Hi all,

In mind this is a daft question, but here goes.

My hosts allow secure https logins on specific directories. What I want
to do is have a login screen in flash, if the user enters the correct
username and password I would like to set the HTTPS username and
password using php/flash and then open the secure page.

In my mind at this point they'll be logged in and then can navigate the
secure page without seeing the browsers https login dialog. Am I
kidding myself, or is this possible?
