IMHO U can't read/set HTTP Cookies from SWF file directly, but u can read it from javascript on the page and pass it to Flex (swf)

How do I verify that caching is enabled ? 2. When I refer to cookies, I am refering to HTTP cookies. My understanding from the read on the cookie subject is that Flex has its own cookies. When going through load balancers / SSL proxies, cookies play an important role, and I wanted to verify that Flex (or Flash I should say) would honor the cookies. - viraf --- In [email protected], "Jeff Steiner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I will take a shot at answering some of your questions. > > The Flex app (SWF) is cached by default on the client.
