Thanks Jason. Unfortunately if we can't use IP addresses as if you have multiple computers behind a proxy server (e.g. universities) they all have a single IP address. It really needs to be something unique to a single machine. However the more I look the more it seems impossible to do...

You can grab something like the IP address with Javascript and/or server scripts, and use ExternalInterface or FlashVars to get the value. Lots of links if you Google "get ip address with javascript" Other than that, the Flash security model does not allow you to access much at all about the local machine, especially if you say you cannot do logins/cookies/shared objects.
