Reading/writing a cookie in Flash

[Schteve]

I want to have my flash movie make a cookie on users' computers that logs when they last visited. I have news loaded from an external file (complete with variables for date and time). Basically, I want flash to read the cookie and compare the time the user last visited with the time of the last news posted. If news has been posted since a person's last visit, movie clip A plays. Otherwise, clip B plays.

Anyone know a good tutorial for how to do this?
