RE: FLASH: session tracking

[Branden Hall]

The variables will dissappear. Flash only keeps variables while the SWF is

being viewed.

Subject: FLASH: session tracking



I'm new to Flash though I've read a couple of books on it. As I understand

it,

Flash effectively handles session management internally. Is that correct? So

I don't have to keep track of variables on a per client basis with a session

identifier in PHP, for example. Flash will do it for me? What if the client

fills a shopping cart, setting a few variables, and then takes a break

returning

only later to checkout. How long will the cart exist? Do Flash sessions

timeout

after some interval, or only when the browser is closed?
