Flash :: Play Intro Once Per Visit

Play Flash Intro Only Once Per _Domain_ Visit
Can any one point me to a tutorial that shows how to do what the title above says (OR how do delete sharedObject files on user's computers) using sharedObjects or javascript?

I want the user to be able to see the intro only once, but if he closes the browser or leaves the domain, then I want it to replay. But if he is browsing through pages within the domain, I want the intro not to play again until he leaves domain or closes browser.

I've succeeded in getting the sharedObject to be stored so it only plays once, but I don't know how to make it delete that object on leaving domain or closing out web browser so I can see it again when I revisit the domain.

I also see some stuff on the web about deleting SO's but it doesn't say what action invokes the deletion, where do I put the code in my Swf, etc...

Play Once Per Visit
Hi,
I have a flash animation that plays on the index page.
My client wants it to only play when someone first gets to their site. (each visit)
So if they go on to the contact page and then back to the homepage, the flash movie will stay on frame one.
Hope that explains the question.

Thanks

Getting Flash To Play Only Once Per Visit?
I saw this question answered once long ago, but I lost it...

I have a site with a homepage Flash intro (actually, it's only a sound embedded in a small square swf file). How can I make it so that a visitor doesn't have to be subjected to the Flash sound every time they go back to the home page?

I haven't seen an example of this, so I don't even know if it's possible...

Thanks in advance!

Swf Header To Play Once Per Visit
Well, I have done some searching to try and find a way to do this, but I have not found much info on this and wanted to know if anyone on here may know of a solution to this. I have created a swf header and the client now wants it to play only once per visit to the site. Is this possible and if so, has anybody seen any tutorials or any simple scripts that can be added to make this happen?

Setting Cookies To Play Only Once Per Visit?
Hi, I've been searching this site looking for sample code that will allow me to set a cookie with javascript or asp to instruct Flash.

I have an index page with three small swf animations and the client only wants them to play the first time a visitor comes to the homepage. If they return back to the homepage, they want the animation to not play again. If the visitor returns tomorrow, we'd like the animation to play again.

Are cookies the best way to go and can somebody point me to a script that would work for this? Many thanks in advance...

Make A Movie Only Play Once Per Visit
Hi guys,

I've been looking at ways to make it so a flash intro movie only plays once per visit to the site.
Is there a way to do this using actionscript/flash only or must i do it with a scripting language like php?

I'm a total n00b when it comes to actionscript so sorry if it's a dumb question.

TIA
Joe

How Do I Set My Flash To Play Only On First Visit To Index.html? :
Is there a way that once a movie has played and unloaded that if you bounce to a non-flash page (i.e. HTML (.htm/.asp) page) that when you back to the page it won't play that movie again.

I know it would be easier remaining in flash the entire time.
The movie I've loaded is an intro that I don't want played everytime a user hits the index.php again. Only the first time.

Thanx.

Flash On The Top Page To Play Only The First Visit In A Session
I have a small Flash movie contained in my home page that I would like to be played only when the user lands the first time (all subsequent landings will display a static image) ...so if the user hits the back button they will see the image NOT the animation. or if the user hits the home button in the site, they will see the image NOT the animation. If the user leaves the site and comes back, I would like to show the animation again.

Do I need to use a cookie or something? Please help,
thanks,

Window Open First Visit, Closed Next Visit
If I had a window in flash, say an external swf, is there a way to have this not visible the second time you visit the site?
I have some info you would only read once, if possible I would like it to be in a window, when second visit only the top bar is visible to open it if you want to. Not so it disapears altogether but the window is closed.
thanks for any suggestions

INTRO Play Once HELP
Need to know in detailed listing on how to make an intro/swf file play once after you have been to the site.My personal website has a flash header and I only want it to play once.
If you hit the home button, it plays the header again. And if you close the browser and goto the site again, it plays the header again. Is there anyway to stop this?

Please be detailed in explaining how to do it! I have searched about 14 pages of intro help on this site.
Thanks ALL!

If Intro Has Been Played Before, Don't Play It Again
Is it possible to check if an intro has been cached (i.e played before)- and jump straight to the site?

For example, Is the intro cached? If YES load Main.swf > If NO Load Intro.swf

Its just that the intro is quite long and it gets boring looking at it everytime the site loads!

Using Framesloaded To Play Intro Only Once
I'm using MX2004 Pro on Mac OS 10.3.6. I have a .fla with two scenes: "preloader" and "main". "Preloader" is Cathode's Bytes-Loaded preloader. "Main" has an animation, then stops on a frame with buttons, etc. Both scenes work perfectly.

Now, I am trying to make it so the "main" scene only plays through once, and every other time the page loads, it skips the animated part and goes straight to the label "nav" in the "main" scene.

Instead, the preloader still works fine, but it skips to the "nav" label regardless of whether the animated part has played through once or not.

Here's the framesloaded code on the first frame of the "preloader" scene:

code:
if (_framesloaded==_totalframes) {
gotoAndPlay("main","nav");
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Do I need to use something else besides _framesloaded? Something about detecting the cache? Would adding a label at the beginning of the animation help? Thanks!

[F8] Intro Animation Play Once
I've seen this done, but not sure how it's created. I would like to be able to create a Flash intro animation. This animation will be placed on the index page. I only want this animation to play once, so if you click around to other subpages and go back to the home page, the intro animation will not play all over again on that computer. I'm sure it could play much later in the day or the next day etc. I just don't want it constantly playing every time you click reload or click back.

Cookies To Only Play Intro Once?
Hi guys...

I've got a short intro on the main page of my website that plays everytime you load the page. It's actually just a header at the top of the page: http://www.velocipixel.com/home/index.php

I only want it to play the first time you view the page. After that I want that same page to embed a different flash movie that simply has a "replay" button in it with my logo. That second movie would then replay the intro only if the visitor clicks it.

I believe this can be done using cookies somehow. When the person hits the index.php page a cookie would be created saying they viewed that page. The page would then have to check for that cookie and somehow include the code for either the intro swf or replay swf.

I understand the concept of how it should work but don't know the correct code to use. Any ideas folks? Some sample code would be great!

Button To Play Outro Before New Intro
I am building an animated menu in CS3 using AS 3.0. I have a menu of four buttons. For simplicity, let's say A_btn,B_btn,C_btn and D_btn
Now on the timeline I have labels that have intro and outro animations for each.
Let's say the lables are labled: Ain, Aout, Bin, Bout, Cin, Cout, Din, Dout

Ok, so I have the buttons all playing the intros just fine. How do I get them to play the outro before moving on to the appropriate intro? Note: each intro and outro is completely different and independant. In other words, I'm not using the same transition for each one.

Here's a link to a test project file that shows the buttons playing the intros.

Click Here to see example

Here's the current AS3:
*****************************
stop();

function onHomeClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("Ain");
}
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onHomeClick);

function onAboutClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("Bin");
}
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onAboutClick);

function onWorkClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("Cin");
}
work_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onWorkClick);

function onContactClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay("Din");
}
contact_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onContactClick);
**************************************

I tried adding this after stop and before function, but it doesn't do anything.

var gotoA:Array = new Array();
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);
function f(e:MouseEvent){
gotoA.push("Aout");
gotoAndPlay("Bin");
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Using Cookies To Decide Whether To Play Intro Or Not
Is there a way to leave a cookie so when the users return a second or third time the flash file skips to the end of the animation.

My experience with cookies is nil so if anyone could provide some info that would be great.

SharedObject, Using It To Play An Intro Animation Only Once
Hi all,

Having some difficulty getting my sharedobject to operate. All I am trying to do is have my intro animation play only once, so that I can use the same swf on multiple pages without showing the intro animation every time.

If the 3rd page was viewed first the intro animation would play but then if the 2nd page was viewed the intro animation would not play (because it was already played on page 3).

My code:
logoload = SharedObject.getLocal("logoload1");

if (_root.logoload.data.logoloadvar == undefined){
_root.logo_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
} else if (_root.logoload.data.logoloadvar == "logoseen") {
_root.logo_mc.gotoAndStop(31);
}
stop();

//_root.logo_mc //My trigger to say the intro has been played
computer = System.capabilities.os;
_root.logoload.data.logoloadvar = "logoseen";
_root.logoload.flush();
stop();

File here

Play Outro Of Swf B4 Playing Intro Of Next Section
I'm just wonder how, because I have lets say 5 transitions and each swf has an intro and an outro, and I want to make it so if you click lets say wallpapers, theres a little loader at the bottom right of the screen that preloads the wallpaper transition, without yet playing the outro of the current transition your in (home lets say), Is it possible to script it so that when flash detects that wallpaper transition has fully preloaded it will play the "outro" part of home and than play the intro part of wallpapers to create a seamless transition

Play External Loaded Movies Outro Before Next Intro
For anyone thats been following my many questions, lol...what I have now is a main nav movie, with a few external clips that load when you click certain buttons.

Heres the code I'm using to load my movies

ex: if you clicked the 'news' button...

on (release) {
loadMovieNum("news.swf", 5);
}

That works fine, but when I click a different button (say 'links') the first movie disapears and the second one loads.

Thats great as well, but I want to have some kind of a fading outro on the first movie.

So what I need is a way to tell whatever movie is open at the time to play its outro (a fade out) whenever the user clicks a different button.

-thanks

Forcing A Preloader To Play The Intro Before It Loads The Main Movie.
Hi,
I am using a script I found at http://www.sonify.org/home/feature/r...ges/page4.html for preloading my movie, which contains a lot of sound objects located at http://www.speakerson.net/project/start.html. The main movie is loaded into a movie clip holder called "sonicMapHolder".

It works like a treat ...

However I would like to apply one modification, that is to play the whole intro every time before the main movie loads. The intro is located in a movie clip called "textintro".

Can I do it easily?...

Thanks in advance!

Help-intro Not To Play If A Visitor Goes To Another Site And Then Comes Back To Site
Hi there!
I will have either a flashvideo sequence or flash animation playing as an introduction to flashsite. Now my client would like it to play that video only once and never again-that's not a problem. But what he also wants is that the video won't play if a visitor goes to another site and then comes back to his site in lets say 5 min. Also he would like to not have the video play if a visitor hits the refresh on their browser while visiting the site. Does anyone know how to solve this-I guess you would have to use some sort of javascript combined with actionscript? I'm kind of intermediate when it comes to actionscript and hardly knows any javascript... It would be very interesting to find out how this would work...

How Would I Play A .mov File As An Intro To A Flash File?

Flash Video: Play Intro Before Video
Hey guys, first post, and already i'm requesting something, sorry about that. I wish to give a big thanks to Lee and all the users helping out here, being a total newb at actionscript, I found alot of useful tips and tuts. Ok now to the point of my request.

I created a custom player following the video basics (which is a great tut by the way), now what I would like to do is that each time someone plays a video on my website, they have this short 2 second intro play first, and then have the actual video start playing, and when it reaches the end, have the player return to the start of this video and stop, so that people don't have to watch the intro a 2nd time (unless they go and play another video, or leave and come back).

So in other words, have 2 flv files, one for the intro and one for the video, just so I don't have to edit each of my videos manually to add the intro, before encoding them. I thought of using a XML playlist, the problem is that i'm loading the videos dynamically through flashvars so it wouldn't be practical.

Hope this makes sense. Any help at all with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
