There's a flash video on the front page of my company website. The boss
wants it to play straight off the first time you visit, then go to a still
frame with a play button the second (and any time afterwards).

So I thought to myself, cfcookie would be a great idea. I've got this code
at the top of the page:

<cfparam name="COOKIE.previousvisitor" default="0">
<cfif COOKIE.previousvisitor IS 0>
        <cfcookie name="previousvisitor" value="1" expires="100">
</cfif>

Then, I output the value of the cookie and dump it into the Flash movie like
so:
fo.addVariable("previousvisitor",
"<cfoutput>#COOKIE.previousvisitor#</cfoutput>");

The problem is that it's not working. In FF, I clear ALL of my private data
(including cookies), but when I reload the page the video is still stuck on
the still frame. It's not the Flash because it's outputting 1 into the movie
instead of 0.

What am I doing wrong?
