Hi

I am after some advice please for flash and asp usage.

Basically what I am after is for example:-

In my flash I have two key frames 1 and 2.

If a user has already seen my flash file once within the same session, i.e they have already seen it and are still in the site, and again revert back to the home page.

What I want to do is play frame 2 not frame 1 if they have already seen frame one at the start.

I have seen this sort of thing before as an example yahoo.

Where they have a movie that plays the first time you load the site, but the other times you go to the home page the flash does not play again.

I HOPE SOMEONE can help me out as this has been a long awaited request of mine that I just cannot figure out.

Any help or better still and example would be fantastic.

I look forward to any advice, help, examples.

Cheers

Trev

Hey Trev!

Well you can have a conditional in you asp page and then send a variable to flash letting it know what frame to play.

i.e.

if(user has seen this already) then  
frameNum == 2  
else  
frameNum == 1  
end if

wow my asp is rusty :lol:

Hey how you doing long time no see :(.

Hope your alright mate.

I understand ASP its just the connection between both.

What you have supplied is a simple if statement. I would use something like:-

```auto

If viewedflash = 1 Then
framenumber = 2 
Else
framenumber = 1
End If

```

But how does flash relate to this, any chance of a sample I can try in my localhost?

Just put two key frames into the flash, 1st key frame with seen and the second with not seen. So I may have an idea how you have done it.

That would be a big help, also get in touch mate long time no chat it would be good to catch up. Lots going on :).

Cheers

Trev

I could have sworn this was suppose to be like so:-

\<param name=“movie” value=“trev.swf?framenumber = 2” /\>

I think your thinking the querystring, I have seen the source code where it looks like this where the flash movie is, so this should work in any standard html page as well but it does not seem to work

Any ideas ?

</div>

ya i see what you mean.

in that case you can just take the load vars part out…

```auto

		var gotoFrame = level0.framenumber;
		_root.gotoAndPlay(gotoFrame);

```

</div>

Well I figured it out, close and now it works at last.

In the flash

```auto

if (movie==1"") {
	vText = "No Value"
}

if (movie==2) {
	vText = "Some Value"
}

```

in the html page

```auto

<Param name="FlashVars" Value="movie=2" />

```

Hope this helps.

Trev
