Need help with SO

[JeffStoker]

This is the simplified version of the script I have on frame(1) of the main timeline. It works correctly when I test movie, but does not work online, it plays the movie through on first visit, but stays on frame(1) when you return to page on next visit. Can any of you experts steer this wannabe in the right direction??

stop();
mySO = sharedObject.getLocal("3by7intro"
returned = mySO.data.viewed;
if(returned == "yes&quot{
gotoAndStop(540);
trace (returned);
}else{
mySO.data.viewed = "yes";
mySO.flush();
gotoAndPlay(4);
trace ("not yes"
}

try this and see what is being returned by testing the fla on line

myso = SharedObjec.getLocal("3by7intro"
returned = so.data.viewed
returned.flush();

for(item in returned.view){
trace(returned.view[item]);
}

Bill, Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately I'm worse off than I thought; can't even get remote debugging to work.

I added the code you gave me to the first frame, with one exception.....
I changed returned = so.data.viewed
to
returned = myso.data.viewed
I assume that's what you meant.
There is also a stop() action in first frame. If you had address to the file, would that help? and would you have a chance? and should I leave the stop() there?

Thanks

the stop() dont matter and you spotted my typo

post the fla if you can or email it me and ill have a look tomorrow morning


one final thought....the so you created in authoring may have a different path to the so created on line. did you create a new so on line then check it was not working.

Jeff

i deleted your email before saving the address. write me again so i can send the file back. seems to work ok now.

Just wanted to Publically thank Bill Watson for his expert help at not just solving this problem for me, but also for making things more clear to me and getting me on the right track for future projects.
