Subject: RE: FLASH: cookies and variables
From: Jeff Talbot

Thanks for the suggestion, Branden (I was actually browsing around
Colin's site when your email came through). You're right - it is a great
source of info and inspiration, but unfortunately I haven't found the
answer to my problem there. Maybe I'm just being a bit thick today! Do
you mean I need to use FSCommand to read the variables in a
cookie/javascript?

BTW, the correct URL is:
http://www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/index.html
(i.e. drop the 4 after flash)

Thanx anyway (still trying to resolve the issue)

Jeff
