Preventing a move from running twice...?

[asadowsky]

I'm designing an initial page for my personal website, and I'm finding that when users return, the flash movie re-runs. While there is a skip button, it would be nice if, upon a user's return that visit they didn't have to do anything to be presented with the final frame in the movie. That is, when they click the "back" button, if the movie just stayed at the last frame.

The page/site in question is located at http://www.sadowsky.net

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Search for shared objects. They're like cookies for Flash on steroids...

Good luck.

And by the way, this is my 200th post!!!

I can't figure out how shared objects are relevant... That is, nothing in the documentation speaks to this issue, and therefore I have no real understanding how this might help.

BTW, congrats on the 200th post.

Kirupa tutorial on shared objects (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/sharedobjects.asp)

It seems quite relevant for what you are trying to accomplish. Shared objects are like cookies, you can store one, and upon a users entry, if they have been there before, you can have a condition that tells the movie to advance to the next scene, or whatever the case may be.

Good luck.

Many, MANY thanks...

That explains a great deal.
