Hey, just trying to get my head around Shared Objs…
```auto
// Frame 1
_so_Usercheck = SharedObject.getLocal("Checker");
//Frame 2
_root.stop();
if (_root.alreadyplayed==_so_Usercheck.data.Userhelp) {
//skip intro
gotoAndStop(3);
} else {
//play intro
gotoAndStop(4);
}
//Frame4
stop();
_so_Usercheck.data.Userhelp = _root.alreadyplayed;
_so_Usercheck.flush();
```
Hmm…I really have buggered this up lol
Basically, I just wanted it to check and set a sharedObj to see if something in the swf has played or not, and if it hasn’t, to set a obj to not play it again when the user re-visits but if it has, to bypass and go to a certain action

Yes, looked all over, at FK, [As.org](http://As.org), Kirupa etc got no actual help, please somebody have any clue why my script doesn’t work, do I have to set vars? I’m so confused with this, any other sharedObj I have set worked fine but this, I just cant get it working, just one of those days!! Ⓜ
