Hello one and all,  
I have a small yet annoying problem. I have a flash banner at the top of my page. This contains an FLV, to view go to:[http://www.outlook.co.uk](http://www.outlook.co.uk)

I have a sound button that controls the sound in the movie and this works fine. The problem is if the user turns the sound off in the movie then moves to a different page the sound is on again by default.

Currently I am setting an asp (yes evil asp, unfortunately this is a revamp and so I can’t use PHP) page that has a session called ‘muteStatus’ set to either true or false. The session is then passed into the flash movie via a variable (this page is in test and not viewable). What i can’t do is figure a way of flash writing the session without reloading the page.

This may well be an arse about face way of doing this and if anyone can suggest a better way I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks
