Getting variable from page

[crazybeans128]

I am writing a flash program that sets a cookie and can retrieve that data. I already have made it write cookies, but I am unable to find a non-php way of gathering the data from the cookie i have created. I am simply looking for a way for flash to look into the html file it is embedded into and say "Hey, I want this specific variable" and be able to use it. Any suggestions? And as I mentioned earlier, I am looking for a non php way to do this.

Either that or someone teach me how to dump a local shared object and reload them later. I've tried but am having issues.

Javascript can read cookies.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

I have the javascript reading the cookies, but I can't figure out how to pass those variables back into Flash. I originally tried the return function, but that instead just sends the page to a new page with the data.

Okay, i found a code on macromedia.com that does what I want. Thanks anyway.
