Run Once > Fash then static .jpg

[trochia]

  Good day to all,

  I am fairly new to php and having a cookie problem I think.

  I have a .swf file that I would like to "run once" when the visitor first comes to the "index" of the site in maybe a 24 hour period.

  It would then become static ( .jpg ) when going thru the rest of the site for the 24 hours or whatever it is set at.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, u can use cookies. something like this:

if (cookie is set){
JPG here
}
else{
SWF here
}

it should give u an idea....

George, thanks for the reply... 

Here's in my index =

if(!isset($_COOKIE['flash_cookie'])){
  @setcookie('flash_cookie', 1, time() + (60*5), '/', '.domain.com', 0);
}

then this, is in my functions.php =

<?php if(!isset($_COOKIE['flash_cookie'])){ ?>

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
