Hey all, can anyone tell me if I can set a Shared Object to expire after a certain amount of time? Meaning, when a user selects an option it remembers it every time they come back but only for say, a week or month or whatever. If not, is it possible to get flash to cooperate with regular cookies instead of using Shared Objects?

Thanks!!
