This is very helpful to understand. Thanks Glen!

Hi,
Your session should be browser based and I think Flash does it's
requests through the browser. The only time you may have problems
with this is if you start using FileReference uploads in Flash 8. I
am guessing this may be a bit of a B***H to debug using the standalone
player / IDE. I would recommend loading it in the browser if you can
as this may save headaches later on if you try and develop for
standalone then switch.
This may shed some light too, not sure:

Check your PHP ini settings to see if PHP is using Cookies to
transmit the Session ID ("session.use_cookies") - this could be what
you are seeing.
Also, for debugging scripts, you can use a number of tools to see
what is being requested:
Firefox has "LiveHTTPHeaders" which you have to manually install
from the download site: http://livehttpheaders.mozdev.org/
This will work with LoadVars type requests.
There are also some other tools, which are not free, but work
better with AMF type remoting:

I can't remember any others at the moment - they have been
mentioned a few times on this list and OSFlash so check the archives
or Google for them.

I'm working in author mode in FMX04, using AS2. It appears that
LoadVars exchanges cookies with the server, and that the cookie
persists until you relaunch Flash. Is this documented anywhere? Is
this reliable across browsers and platforms and plugings?
I discovered this because I was trying to exchange the PHPSESSID as a
_GET param from Flash, but it was getting overridden by a _COOKIE
value in the _REQUEST array by php.
