asp for no repeat flash for repeat visitors?

[jwh123]

Hi,

I have a flash animation that I want to execute in full only for first time visitors. I would like it to jump to the end of the animation for return visitors. I think this is easiest to do with an asp cookie by sending a parameter such as "recent_visit=yes" to the flash tag. However, I have no experience with cookies or vbscript. Any help is much appreciated!

Here's what's in my object tag ...

<OBJECT classid=&quot;clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000&quot;
codebase=&quot;

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE=&quot;blue_arrow.swf?recent_visit=yes&quot;>
