Hello,

I am trying to give users a way to skip the splash page this time, or ALWAYS skip it. I made that happen by using placing this code on the “skip always” button: (website: [http://www.evbc.org/frog/main/index.html](http://www.evbc.org/frog/main/index.html) )

on(release, keyPress “\<Enter\>”){  
user.data.name = “skip”;  
user.flush();  
\_root.gotoAndStop(50);  
}

In the first frame of the timeline, I have this code to see if we should skip:

user = SharedObject.getLocal(“user\_profile”);  
trace(user.data.name)  
if (user.data.name != “skip”){  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(2);  
} else {  
trace(user.data.name);  
getURL(“[http://www.evbc.org/frog/main/home.aspx](http://www.evbc.org/frog/main/home.aspx)”);  
}

Ok, so far so good, but if they ever want to play the intro again, how can I set the “SKIP” variable back to “PLAY”? The SharedObject feature will only let you read/write from the same .swf.

Thanks for any help,
