**[COLOR=#ff0000]Actionscript 2 (Flash Professional CS5) [/COLOR]  
 I am designing a website with a Flash banner animation**on homepage. I would like the animation to play only once per session.\*\* When the user refreshes the browser \*\*(or when navigates through other pages and comes back to homepage), the**swf file should be replaced with a swf/jpg that’s static**.  
I do not want to try shared objects for other compatibility issues.  
Please help me with either **“div swap” or “swf swap” on page refresh or reload** …all i need is to **let the movie play only once per session**. Any code that could stop the movie from annoying the user by replaying every time on refresh/reload.  
And this is an **as2(Flash Professional CS5) file that’s embedded in html page which will be eventually developed into an aspx page. I appreciate any javascript code that helps solve the issue…**. **NO PHP PLEASE!!**
