Re: [Flashcoders] video playing help - newbie
Could either use shared object to determine if the computer had viewed the
video before, or perhaps some user-variable on a server side script. I
suppose good old cookies might even do the trick.
I typically prefer shared objects to cookies. For no particular reason, just
find them easier I guess. Here's some psuedo code mixed with shared object
programming
//Before video starts
var my_so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("vidViewed");
var hasSeenVid = my_so.data.hasSeenVid;
if(hasSeenVid == undefined){
hasSeenVid = false;
}
if(!hasSeenVid){
//start video
hasSeenVid = true;
}
my_so.data.hasSeenVid = hasSeenVid;
my_so.flush();

Do you know of a way to make the movie automatically play on
the first visit but then if you come back to the page after viewing
another page, the video doesn't auto-play? Basically, they don't like
the fact that every time you go to the home page, the movie starts
over. Do you know of a fix for this?

Use the flash shared object to set a flash cookie. This way, when the user
comes back, the playhead will skip the intro and go to a specified frame.
You can also use it to control an flv or anything else.
// sets flash shared object
version = SharedObject.getLocal("intro_data");
// if first time, show intro
if (version.data.intro == undefined) {
version.data.intro = "playIt";
version.flush();
trace(version.data.intro);
gotoAndPlay("first_time"); // play the intro
}
else // if not first time, go to nav
{
gotoAndPlay("second_time"); // go to the frame for 2nd time viewers
version.data.intro = "dontPlayIt";
version.flush();
trace(version.data.intro + " else statement");
}
