Hey all,

I am trying to have a local shared object in flash to detect whether a user is a new user or a returning user. If they are a new user i want to do newUser function and if they are a previous user I want to do a previousUser function.

This should all be happening on an onEnterFrame.

Here is my code I have so far:  
[AS]  
//shared object - cookie  
newUser\_test = SharedObject.getLocal(“newUser”);  
newUser.text = newUser\_test.data.title = “new user”;

newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function () {  
newUser.text = “new user”;  
}

newUser.text.onEnterFrame = function(){  
newUser.text = newUser\_test.data.title = “previous user”;  
newUser\_test.flush();  
}

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks in advance!!
