I already tested SharedObject class in native actionscript trying to get the arbitrary name of cookie from local system but it doesn't work.For your information, I am working with cookie returned from user's browsing sites (not my own sites). That's is to get some cookie values resulting from browsing of site A from user in order to work with my own application.
View 0 RepliesI 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 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'm developing a video player using WPF and AxShockwaveFlash.
It has following steps:
find video from a web service. it acquires information of each video. pass video information to AxShockwaveFlash and embedded flash video player. embedded flash video player starts streaming download from web service.
I have a problem on step 4. Step 1-3 shares a cookie (CookieContainer), but step 4 can not. How can I pass its cookie to embedded flash video player?

Long time leecher, decided to join in and ask a question. I have a video auto play on a site i am working on [URL].. Issue is, it auto plays every time the page loads...
Is there a way for me to set a cookie that flash could look for and either choose a welcome back video or not auto play video?
EDIT: SharedObject is awesome. Ignore this i did it.
I have developed a flash application with .NET. That application is something like image cropping. That is user can upload any image from anywhere. after he cropped that image we save that particular cropped image in .NET. The problem is the cookie set into the Temporary internet files. That is If I have uploaded a image for cropping then I have to save that cropped image. Once again I have upload the new image for cropping. But in flash that new uploaded image file is not displays. It always displays the image file which I was uploaded at first time. This was occurred in both IE & Firefox browsers.
View 1 RepliesHow can I retrieve a session cookie inside Flash ? ($_SESSION['member'])
(I am using Flash 8 and ActionScript 2.0)
I have been at this for 5 hours and I'm about to pull all my hair out.I have a seemingly very simple problem that I can NOT find any reason for why it's happening.I built a simple flash doc that has three distinct pieces in it (2 frames):
1) A FLVplayback component on frame 1 - (working)
2) An AS listener that checks for end of Video and progresses to 2nd frame - (working)
3) a cookie script that checks to see if the video has been played and if it has skips frame 1 and goes to frame 2 (also working)
The video successfully plays the first time and moves to the 2nd frame. But, when the document is reloaded it checks the cookie (finds it) skips the 1st frame, moves to the 2nd BUT it does NOT display ANY of the elements in the 2nd frame. NOTHING!! There is a simple graphic and button that allows the users to replay the video (by simply clearing the cookie and going back to Frame 1) but they do not show up. (However, they DO show up if the video plays first and moves to frame 2 via the listener, just not via the cookie).I have placed traces in each frame to show if it is indeed arriving on frame 2. It is, but NOTHING shows.I have rebuilt the FLA step by step testing each time and have found that it works perfectly, right up until the FLV Component is dropped in. Then it moves to the 2nd frame and shows NONE of the 2nd frame elements. URl...
I have js all set up and tested to check for cookie. If cookie set I ant to disable the swf.
The code in my AS is as follows::
import fl.video.*;import fl.video.MetadataEvent;import flash.external.ExternalInterface;import flash.system.fscommand;//-----------------------------------------function
[Code]....
and have this in the init() called by page load it does not work. I was going to use the play variable to kill the loading of the swf but can't figure out how best to make that work.
So, my questions:
Best way to facilitate this action:
1. In AS by calling the function by:
a. Timeline
b. AS callback from <body onLoad
2. Using js to call the fucntion in the external js and then blocking loading of the swf in the html page.
I don't want to spend anymore time exploring alternatives as this is very frustrating. I am assuming that 1.b is the best route.

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 working to add a transparent flash video to a site of a person walking out. The problem is that I don't want the video to play every time the home page is loaded, so I set a 24hr cookie that if detected the div containing the video is set to hide. This works perfectly in Google Chrome and FF, the problem is in IE the div is apparently hidden because you cannot see the video but the audio of the video is still heard. Perhaps there is a different way to do this then the way I am going about it and maybe even a way to do a remove instead of hide?[code]...
