Have you ever wanted to create a flash
banner in the header of your website,
however with the movement of the animation
you have designed the header as a static
image so that the header does not interfere
with the users ability to focus on the
content of your page.
This tutorial will show you how to overcome
the situation above. The user will see the
flash animation once, returning to the page
the animation will not play.
In order to accomplish this you will need
to write a short JavaScript to write a
cookie. When the user returns to a page
containing the animation the JavaScript
within the page will look for a cookie, if
one appears then the JavaScript will
control the flash player and stop the
movie.
Have you ever wanted to create a flash
splash screen for your website that
provides users a preference choice of
entry - such as French or English? Usually
the flash splash screen appears everytime
you enter the site and you need to wait
until the end for the choice to appear.
This tutorial will show you how to pass
information from a flash movie to a
javascript which will set a cookie on your
computer. When you revist the site you will
bypass the flash splash screen and go to
the page of your choice.
