Use the flash shared object to set a flash cookie. This way, when the user
comes back, the playhead will skip the intro and go to a specified frame.
You can also use it to control an flv or anything else.
// sets flash shared object
version = SharedObject.getLocal("intro_data");
// if first time, show intro
if (version.data.intro == undefined) {
version.data.intro = "playIt";
version.flush();
trace(version.data.intro);
gotoAndPlay("first_time"); // play the intro
}
else // if not first time, go to nav
{
gotoAndPlay("second_time"); // go to the frame for 2nd time viewers
version.data.intro = "dontPlayIt";
version.flush();
trace(version.data.intro + " else statement");
}
