FLASH: creating a personalized page cookie

[julie gargan]

Hello,


I was wondering if anyone has created a personalized page in flash, where

the user can choose from a list of topics to make the site specific for

them.  Then, every time they went to the page they would get their

personalized page.


Basically I want to set a variable for each choice they can make and then

cookie their browser to bring up that information whenever they go to the

page.  Would I then be able to use anything other than FS commands to give

the information to the flash file?  I don't want to use FS commands because

of the browser limitations.


At work we've tested using java script to send basic information to a flash

file, but it also doesn't seem to work on IE on a mac....


In case you can't already tell, I have never done anything like this before.

I've looked on the MM site and a few other tutorial sites and searched for

cookie, but I didn't get anything except a fortune cookie flash file, which

is cool, but not quite what I needed :)


thanks in advance for any info.
