I have read all the forums and tutorials on the net, but I cannot find a solution to my Shared Objects problem.

I have an animation in the main timeline, from frame 1 to 15.

I only want to let the user see the animation once. The second time he views it it should gotoAndStop at frame 15.

Now I figure Shared Objects would work but I’m having difficulty.

**Heres my code:**

**Frame1:**  
user = SharedObject.getLocal(“user\_profile”);

if (user.data.name == undefined){  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(2);  
} else {  
firstname = user.data.firstname;  
gotoAndStop(15);  
}

**Frame 15:**  
stop ();  
user.data.firstname = firstname;

Thanks guys. :hugegrin:
