Ever want to be able to reference personalized information each time a user visits your Flash? Before Flash MX, you needed to use PHP cookies. But Macromedia/Adobe created Flash Cookies called SharedObjects to make this easier for you. I’m not kidding! It’s like two lines of code to save and retrieve locally-stored data each time a user browses the site.

Case and point, try entering your name and age to the Flash below. Then click “Store” and either click the “Refresh” button, refresh your browser or hit F5.
