FLASH: Reading a cookie....

[Sean Renet]

I have a flash file that reads a coldfusion template and loads urltoken as a

variable:

----CFM TEMPLATE-----

<cfinclude template="app_globals.cfm">

<cfsetting showdebugoutput="no">

<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes">

<cfcontent type="text/plain">

<cfoutput>cfid=#trim(cfid)#</cfoutput><cfoutput>&cftoken=#trim(cftoken)#</cf

output><cfoutput>&eof=1</cfoutput>


(app_globals.cfm includes the cfapplication which is....

<cfapplication name="myapp" clientmanagement="Yes" setclientcookies="yes"

sessionmanagement="Yes" clientstorage="myappdb">)



---ACTIONSCRIPT-----

Frame 1

eof = "0";

loadVariablesNum ("act_cftoken.cfm", 0, "POST");

gotoAndPlay ("Scene 1", "check");


Frame 2

if (eof = 1) {

 gotoAndStop ("Scene 1", "default");

} else {

 gotoAndPlay ("check");

}


and then the default scene starts the movie which is a simple menu.



So, this is all well and good on PC's using IE or Netscape.  However, MAC IE

and Netscape cannot read coldfusion's urltoken for some reason so in the

cfapplication I set a cookie.


My question is 2 part


First of all since I am setting a cookie anyway should I just read the

cookie instead of reading a template. Secondly, what happens then on MAC IE

and Netscape when cookies are not enabled?


Is there a better way to do this?
