Hi, I’ve been searching high and low for a tutorial for your Flash movie that will show you how to make the movie ask for the users name at the begining and then it’ll disply the name later on in the movie. Any help would be wonderful,thanks!! 🐇 ---

Welcome to the forum! :king: I would suggest using Shared Objects. They function similar to cookies, but won’t get cleared as easy and are easier to create via Flash.
