I need to read the contents from the browser's cookie.I tried to use FlashVars to pass the contents from html to flash.However, the contents of the cookie may change after the swf is loaded.So I need to setup a listener to read the cookie directly.

I remember that in flash 8 you needed to read the cookie via php script to get it into flash. Has that changed in CS4? Is it possible to read the cookie directly from the swf now? If not how does one go about getting cookie information into flash CS4?
View 1 RepliesWe have a flash video that was created for our project, we dont the source so we have to work around the compiled flash file. We are going to host the video on our domain and the video creates a sol cookie (flash cookie) file to store how far the user has proceeded though the video. So my plan is to access this cookie to see how far the user has progressed and then fire an event when they have finished the movie.
I have been googling for some help but haven't found to much. I have found out that its possible to do in javascript and I have found some .net sol file viewers but haven't seen any examples I can get my mind around.
I have watched the traffic that gets created with fiddler and every time the next button is clicked a new request is fired with the swt file that is being accessed. I would also be happy with tracking every time one of these swt files has been accessed as well.
I'm hoping to get pointed in the right direction here. The problem I'm having is trying to figure out how to read an HTML created cookie in Flash. I have a video player that should autoplay once in a 24hour period, the next day it should autoplay again for the end-user.This is what the script on the HTML page looks like that displays the Flash player and the cookie:[code]I did some searching and found this Have a HTML page play Flash movie only once (not when revisited...) but again this is just a Flash function which never allows for a restart in a certain time period.how do I read that var x(cookie) in Flash?
View 3 RepliesIs it possible to read first party cookies from flash?It should be noted that we have complete access to javascript via the ExternalInterface class.So, now the question is - can we access first party cookie from javascript? Our javascript code will be loaded by a website which is not hosted by us. This makes the cookies created by that website - first party cookies. How can we access these "first" party cookies?
View 1 RepliesI want to create a flash swf file that will store a token in Local Shared Object. What do I need to do to read that token and look it up in the database on the back end? Is this possible at all?
here is a possible scenario:
User visits my web page A token is generated on the server and stored in the database Token is then saved in LSO User leaves the site (maybe shuts down his computer) and comes back later Token is read, located in the database and the user is recognized (lets say that token is a foreign key that links to other user data stored in the db)
I researched this for quite a while and all I find is that flash can use LSO to store read data for flash movie... Does this mean that the data can not be accessed by the server?
I have only ben using flash for a little while and do not know a lot about action scripts.I have used a flash file found online which plays music and has a mute button, but at present it plays the music when the page is viewed at another time.So need to have a cookie or shared obect as i have been told it is, so that when the music tries to play it can read the mute state cookie to decide if it should play or not.i see i can not upload a file so have uploaded to the following location

That's is to get some cookie values resulting from browsing of site A from user in order to work with my own application.

I use an application which uses flash cookie to store some important information. This information is critical and should not be deleted. But I have observed that the flash cookie or the shared local object is getting deleted under the following situations. When the local history(including cookies) are deleted by the browser. When flash is upgraded in the system.
This is adversely affecting my application. Please let me know, if there is a way to forcefully retain the 'shared local object' by placing some kind of lock on it. It will be better if this can done programmatically.
I am trying to pass a cookie with multiple name/value pairs into flash and I would like to know if someone know how I can do this. I know that I need to pass the vars from the cookie to my Flash Params but I am not sure how I would do that, given that this is a multiple array cookie.

Can someone please help this rank amateur devise a script that will allow me to do this? It has four different .swf files, and I need to load them such that the same person doesn't see the same .swf file on consecutive visits.

View 3 RepliesI have a very simple php script that I'm using to check and set a cookie. I'm running this script from a Flash file, but it's not working properly. If I enter the direct URL to the php file in my browser, it works perfectly. However, if I access it through Flash it doesn't seem to recognise that the cookie has been set.
Here is my php code:

$expiry = date("U", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d") + 1, date("y")));

How to do this in actionscript?
A couple questions about Macromedia Projector for flash 8 (this is going to be a windows .exe file or contained in a shell). I am creating a Flash intro outlining new features for software solution. The intro will launch and then will launch the full software. Client wants two buttons in the .exe. 1 to enable the user to "skip" the movie which will then launch the client's software. The other button will say "do not show this intro again". Kind of like when you open Flash for the first time and it shows the "tutorial and what's new" window. The in-house developer was saying something about the Windows registry, and outputting a "cookie-like" file when the user clicks "do not show this again" so that the file will not run when the software is executed again.
View 6 RepliesI am trying to create a login system where a user would be able to login inside of one flash game on say, [URL], and then that same login data would be preserved for all the games on [URL] and also the games on [URL] and [URL] I am new to shared objects in flash so if anybody knows of a way to do this in either php, as3, html, js (or a mixture of all) then that would be great.
(PS. I would prefer not to use a method that requires a javascript bridge to retrieve cookies as this is impossible for games that are played on game-portal sites where only a swf file is used)
My swf will potentially live on sites with embed codes that do not allow script access to the movie. I need to pull a cookie from response which is typically simple using javascript, but as the swf does not have access to script, javascript is not an option. Can I access cookies or the cookie header in the response? If that is not possible is there any access to the raw response, headers and all?
