Hi all, kind of in a crunch here.
Is it possible to have a non-Flash application access a shared object?
I’m doing a Flash intro for a software program, and the client would like a “skip this intro in the future” button to set a “Windows registry entry” on the end-users HD (software is PC only). Next time the software is launched, it will look for the registry entry and if the string value is “0”, it will bypass the exec command to launch my Flash projector.
The only way I can think of for this to work would be a shared object, but so far everything I’ve read has specified that these are Flash only.
Is there any other way to ouput a file to the registry from FLash? What format exactly does a shared object take? Is is a text file? Any comments even “you’re screwed” would be appreciated as time is tight.
Thanks
