Set Cookie to redirect if page has already been visited

Before Entering my site, I have a flash intro that is played, and now, I want to know how I can make it so that if the intro page has already been seen, that it does not show it next time, until the cookie expires or is deleted.

you can use javascript to read and write cookies by using javascript code and make your logic in javascript function i.e.

function GetSetCookie() {
            var version = getCookie("version");
            if (version != null && version != "") {
                if (version == 'full') {
                    version = 'text';
                }
                else {
                    version = 'full';
                }
            }
            else {
                version = 'full';
            }
            setCookie("version", version, 365);
            window.top.location.reload();
        }
        function setCookie(c_name, value, exdays) {
            var exdate = new Date();
            exdate.setDate(exdate.getDate() + exdays);
            var c_value = escape(value) + ((exdays == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + exdate.toUTCString());
            document.cookie = c_name + "=" + c_value + "; path=/";
        }
        function getCookie(c_name) {
            var i, x, y, ARRcookies = document.cookie.split(";");
            for (i = 0; i < ARRcookies.length; i++) {
                x = ARRcookies[i].substr(0, ARRcookies[i].indexOf("="));
                y = ARRcookies[i].substr(ARRcookies[i].indexOf("=") + 1);
                x = x.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, "");
                if (x == c_name) {
                    return unescape(y);
                }
            }
        }

By using these function you can read and write cookies and mke you login according to this and use 

location.top.href = "http://www.xyz.com/";

for redirecting a page URL.....

You could use the Local Shared Object functionality of Flash player to read user preferences. Store a Boolean value and check for it every time the movie is initiated. For more on LSO or (Flash Cookies)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Shared_Object

It's supported all the way through flash player 6 and AS2/3

Then you must set the cookie on the client side after or during the intro, via Javascript for example, and then look for that cookie whenever a request is received by the server. If it exists, alter your response in a way that does not include the intro or at least stops it from playing.
