for the record problem turned out to be missing www in URL.
Most likely a very common problem discovered by 1000s on this list. URL
must have www on mac, on PC it seems to work with either
http://yourdomain.com or http://www.yourdomain.com
for anyone else who is confused, flash embedded in HTML page ultimately has
URL requests (ie though loadVars or XML object) constructed by browser, so
an actively set cookie from a PHP session is 'automagically' passed unless
browser is set to disallow cookies, no need to specially adapt PHP code.

Sessions seem to work normally (i.e. cookie with session id automatically
appended to post data in sendandload)
with test movie on firefox on my PC.
http://safetycat.co.uk/test/dpi4/test/AccessControl/logintest.html
in this movie, you press 'reload page' and if you are not logged in you
get a message telling you 'you are not logged in',
if you log-in user:'hjones', pass: 'easy'
then you press the 'reload page' button you will get a message saying you
are logger in, until you click 'log out'
thing is this movie sometimes the movie doesn't work... I mean not just
the sessions but the whole loadVars doesn't seem to work, it worked for a
while on MSIE on windows (flash player 8), but then it stopped working
(???) it always works under firefox (flash payer 8) but never ever worked
on Safari on Mac OS X.
it uses a simple load or sendAndLoad with a onload event handler as
described in every flash book I have. The file is calls is at
http://www.safetycat.co.uk/test/dpi4/test/AccessControl/flashtest.php
anyone know what could be the problem with those browsers??
James
p.s. now it has stopped working on firefox mac os X..... anyone any
suggestions?

Hey,
You request and write the session variables to and from a PHP script via
LoadVars.
There's no inbuilt/prescribed method for managing and interacting with
sessions using Flash (as far as I know), so you just need to have some
basic class/function templates to talk between Flash and PHP.
HTH,
