Hi,

In the header of my upcoming site I want to show a small animation/intro only one time during a visit. When you go to another page, the header shouldn’t animate the whole thing again.

This could be solved if I use a top frame but I don’t wanna do that.  
Another thing I looked into is using a Flash Cookie, but I don’t know how to expire the Flash cookie. People may see the animation once per visit, not once in a lifetime.

Looks like I’m forced to do this with a cookie via Javascript/php (session)/asp instead of a Flash-cookie (local shared objects)?

Thanks in advance.
