I’ve read the tutorials and posts and nothing I do seems to work.

I’m doing a flash site and I have different skins for it. For the sake of understanding, I have 2 buttons, a default one and a blue one. When I click on the blue one, the background color changes to blue and if you close the swf and reopen it, I want the blue background to appear.

The background is in an MC named “bg” and all the colors will be on a diff frame inside of it.

Here’s what I have for the first frame:

```auto
visitor = SharedObject.getLocal("skin_pref");
if (visitor.data.skin == undefined) {
	visitor.data.skin == skindefault;
	visitor.flush();
} else if (visitor.data.skin == skinblue) {
	bg.gotoAndStop("blue");
}

```

On the blue button I have this code:

```auto
on (release) {
	visitor.data.skin == skinblue;
	bg.gotoAndStop("blue");
        visitor.flush();
}

```

I have no idea why it’s not working, it looks right to me and I’ve spent countless hours trying different things. Can someone please help?
