Thanks for responding Jason,
I have PHP installed on the server. Thanks!

Browse All TopicsHello,
My goal is to be able to have a flash video that loads on my website automatically when a visitor arrives for the first time, but not re-load upon subsequent page refreshes. There are several posts on the exchange recommending the use of cookies to accomplish this.
However, I am not familiar with the case code needed to direct the object tags. Also, I do not have the source .fla file. Any help would be great. Thanks!

You posted it in less-than-optimal Zones initially. Flash and ActionScript are not appropriate for the issue. Web Dev is but it's non-specific and I don't watch it as a rule. As you continue asking questions, check the All Zones tab and search by keywords first. That will return lists of Zones that have a lot of answers based on those search terms and that will help you aim the question better.

Hi fuddruckers,
This has nothing to do with the object tags or the FLA. What you want to do is use a server-side scripting language to set a cookie on the first visit and play the movie. On subsequent visits, check the cookie and if it exists, skip the movie.
So which server-side scripting language do you have access to?
