Cookies in Flash?

1

Hey, i was just wondering, is it possible in flash to do stuff with cookies, set, edit, and stuff. I have a php app written up for tracking new and returning visitors. However, to keep from renaming the home page, and changing all the other pages in the site, i would like to access this page via flash on the home page. I dont know if you can have flash access the page and still have php set a cookie, so any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
