okay im stuck

and I’ve read and tried every post concerning shared objects on this and other boards but it’s not working:

Trying to access shared object for 2 or more swfs

```auto

This is what I have on the swf that will flush the object:

swf 1:

user = SharedObject.getLocal("orange3", "/");

if (user.data.firstname == undefined){
	_root.loadMovie("LOGIN.swf");
	
	
} else {

	user.data.firstname = firstname;
	_root.loadMovie("Home.swf");
	

}

This is what I have on the receiving swf
swf 2:

user = SharedObject.getLocal("orange3", "/");

message = "Welcome " + firstname +" "+ name;
	_root.loadMovie("Home.swf");

```

* * *

Been troubleshooting this thing for hours can’t figure it out

I am running it from a shared hosting server

I also tried to do a absolute path but it’s still not working.

```auto

user = SharedObject.getLocal("http://www.mydomain.com/orange3", "/");

message = "Welcome " + firstname +" "+ name;
	_root.loadMovie("Home.swf");

```
