how to read a flash local shared object with servlet

[teklectic]

Does anyone know if it's possible to read a local shared object with a servlet even if there is no flash present on a page?

I want to set a local shared object like a cookie, and then access it again from a page that doesn't have a flash movie.

If I can't do this, is it standard to have the initial flash movie call an external javascript to set a traditional cookie that can later be read?

I think you are right to have the initial flash movie call an external javascript to set a traditional cookie that can later be read.

A cookie seems the way to go, but I can't see what has to do with servlets
