[flexcomponents] Session variables

[honoraryvato]

I did some research on session variables with Flex. The only options
that I can see is to either have the .NET page that the SWF is on to
check if there is already a session variable or not and then use
something like FlashVars to load it in. Another option is to have Flex
itself call out to a page that then checks the session. Are these the
only two options? As there a nicer way for Flex to read/write session
variables?
