RE: FLASH: Returning to homepage flash element??

[Marc Hoffman, Poison Dart Frog Media]

You can also use "If Frame is Loaded" to see if the last frame is loaded. 

If so, you can assume the movie was downloaded previously (unless it's a 

tiny movie) and can play an alternate logo. Or you can use a random 

function, but that won't guarantee a new logo each time.


I agree cookies are a pretty good way to go. Of course the user must be 

configured to accept them.
