hey,
whatever name you give your flash movie wheny ou embed it, you can pass variables by referring to that name. But it won't work on a mac. Another method would be to have javascript write the actual embed and object tags, flag a javascript variable and then have javascript write a variable into the .swf by appending the src attribute like:
src=mymovie.swf?alreadyseen=true
then have your flash movie looking for that. If the javascript variable that tells you if they've seen the page already isn't there, you can just embed it like you always do. You could pass these variables by having a hidden frame or something.
make sense?
