Hey Yall, This IS What I Want To Do...  I Want to Use Flash Cookies To Help Me Make A Voting System Like When you Choose The One You Want And Click Vote It Sets A Cookie (called "vote") That You Already Voted And Makes It So When the mc Loads It Looks For That Cookie And If it Finds It Goes To Frame 3 But If It Doesnt Find It, It Will Goto Frame 1....

You need to use Shared Objects, the new "supercookies" of Flash MX. A little script about this look like this:

localObject = SharedObject.getLocal("info"); //create or read the file is it exists
if (localObject.didVote!= undefined) { //not new
      gotoAndPlay(3);
} else { //new user
    didVote= "yes";
    localObject.data.didVote= didVote; //sets the cookie
    localObject.flush(1000); //writes to the created file
    gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Sorry man, I didn't check fine my script, and forgot to use the data property (in the scond line). Here's again, I hope it works

localObject = SharedObject.getLocal("info"); //create or read the file is it exists
if (localObject.data.didVote!= undefined) { //not new
     gotoAndPlay(3);
} else { //new user
   didVote= "yes";
   localObject.data.didVote= didVote; //sets the cookie
   localObject.flush(1000); //writes to the created file
   gotoAndPlay(2);
}

You can use trace(localObject.data.didVote) to know id the value exists or not
