Rotating Main Page

[tv_elf]

Hi! I'm not sure if this has been covered before because I honestly can not seem to come up with the right keywords...

I need to set up the site with Flash so that every time you come to the site a cookie sets the background and right links to promote a different topic. I'm pretty sure it is done with Action Scripting... But, how? Is there a tutorial out there for this?

you set the cookie with a server side page and you have that page tell flash if there is a cookie present or not.

I do not understand what you mean by "right links to promote a different topic"? You want the background to change and have flash laod content based on which background is loaded?

Just like with server side pages you can give variables to the swf so for example you can embed this kind of flash:

flashmovie.swf?bg=000000&contenttype=1

You can access the variables in flash as _root.bg and _root.contenttype. So you can use them to build up your movie.
