Hi all!
I’m hoping someone can possibly help me here, because I cannot see to figure out a working solution! Here’s what I am trying to do…
I have a Flash game in one html page, and then I have an html link (“next” button) in another page that will direct the user to the page that contains the Flash game. What I need to do, is to have the “next” button, tell a MC within the Flash game to go to the second frame, and save it as a cookie so it will be at the second frame whenever the user returns to that page with the Flash game. The MC is basically a button and the second frame grays out to show completion. Clicking the “next” button on the previous page verifies that the user has reached the end of that section, which should then trigger the MC in the Flash Game to gray out. I want to set it as a cookie so the user can keep track of their progress.
Anyway, my original thought was to use the Flash External Interface to allow the html “next” button to communicate via JS to the Flash movie, and to use Local Shared Object to set the cookie. Well, I have been trying to employ several of these tactics with no success. 
I am currently working on a Mac, and need something that works in Firefox on both Mac and PC, and IE for PC.
If anyone could offer any assistance or point me in the right direction, that would be great! It’s getting down to crunch time and I cannot seem to figure this out for the life of me! Thank you much!!!
