How do I set "Flash cookies" (aka local shared objects) with ColdFusion?

Is it possible to set "Flash cookies" with Javascript?  Something like <CFCOOKIE TYPE="FLASH"> would be great of course.  

Also, I don't know Flash.

Perhaps I just need someone to make me a 1x1 SWF that I can pass Flashvars to.  ?

I found this semi-complicated Javascript library that can do it (allegedly), but I'm looking for something easier.

Any ideas?

Isnt that just a global public variable.

Why do you want to do this, what are you trying to achieve.

I wan to use Flash cookies (officially called "Flash Local Shared Objects") because they:

1) Store up to 100k or more (normal cookies only store 4k)
2) Are supported even when the user has "cookies off" in their browser
3) Remain intact if a user switches browsers (say, IE -> Firefox) on his machine

Crud, is there any way to edit my original question?  I wrote "... with JavaScript" when I meant "...with ColdFusion"
