[Javascript] HTTP_GET_VARS on JavaScript.

[Chris Tifer]

Yes, it's possible. My method to fix this would be to use Cookies and have
the first thing Flash does is check this cookie by using a loadVariables
command which simply checks the value of the cookie and outputs something
like:

blHasCookie=1 (or blHasCookie=0)

Then judging by that variable in Flash, you either tell it to play from the
opening sequence or the other frame (I recommend using Labels instead of
frame numbers. Much better...

I'm sure you could us FSCommand to talk with JavaScript and issue a command
directly to Flash based off the value of the cookie keeping you from making
another call to the server, but loadVariables is easier to me.

Does that make sense or did I lose you?
