Thanks in advance for looking at this. I am trying to set/ retrieve a
cookie which counts a users visits to a page and then returns the
value using flashvars and swfobject2. The cookie and the swf work
independantly, the swfobject embed works fine until i try to ad the
vars... The examples I dowloaded all use a conditional statement to
apphend the vars in the html file itself. I have code within the root
of my swf telling the file what to do with the cookie. IE;
var capvisits:String = _root.visits;
if (capvisits == null) {
capvisits = 1;
}
if (visits == 1) {
this.gotoAndPlay("investment_focus");
}
if (visits == 2) {
this.gotoAndPlay("white_papers");
}
etc. - but if it would be better to write this into the flashvars I am
perfectly open to that as well. Following is the entire file. Thanks
again, Ryan
