lawrie Obsessive-Compulsive (I) Inmate From: Insane since: Jan 2003	posted 01-27-2003 16:02 Hi, thanks for the help & sorry bout not being specific. I have seen cookie scripts which only allow an event to happen on a visitors first visit. One of the things I want to do is get an action like the one below to occur only once but I do not know enough to modify a script. Animagic is a flexible way to move layers. I have included the script with the onload event. <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript"> <!-- function P7AniMagic(el, x, y, a, b, c, s) { //v2.8 PVII var g,elo=el,f="",m=false,d="";x=parseInt(x);y=parseInt(y); var t = 'g.p7Magic = setTimeout("P7AniMagic(\''+elo+'\','; if ((g=MM_findObj(el))!=null) {d=(document.layers)?g:g.style;}else{return;} if (parseInt(s)>0) {eval(t+x+','+y+','+a+','+b+','+c+',0)",' + s+')');return;} var xx=(parseInt(d.left))?parseInt(d.left):0; var yy=(parseInt(d.top))?parseInt(d.top):0; if(parseInt(c)==1) {x+=xx;y+=yy;m=true;c=0;} else if (c==2) {m=false;clearTimeout(g.p7Magic);} else {var i=parseInt(a); if (eval(g.moved)){clearTimeout(g.p7Magic);} if (xx<x){xx+=i;m=true;if(xx>x){xx=x;}} if (xx>x){xx-=i;m=true;if(xx<x){xx=x;}} if (yy<y){yy+=i;m=true;if(yy>y){yy=y;}} if (yy>y){yy-=i;m=true;if(yy<y){yy=y;}}} if (m){if((parseInt(navigator.appVersion)>4 \| \| navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")>-1)&& navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera")==-1){ xx+="px";yy+="px";} d.left=xx;d.top=yy;g.moved=true;eval(t+x+','+y+','+a+','+b+','+c+',0)",'+b+')'); }else {g.moved=false;} } //--> </script> </head> <body onLoad="P7AniMagic('content',333,123,5,30,0,0)"> thanks for the help
kuckus Bipolar (III) Inmate From: Berlin (almost) Insane since: Dec 2001	posted 01-27-2003 20:41 OK what you need to do now is replacing the "layeranimagic()" call in my function with the name of your function and the arguments it needs (that's what you have in the onload now), then paste the checkCookie() funtion into your JavaScript section and finally change the body's onload event to trigger the checkCookie() function instead of the other one.

Hi,
I want to run a small flash animation on one page and a 'layeranimagic' function on another.....but only once!
I have found a javascript which sets a cookie which allows a similar action with a popup window but I know too little to even try to modify it.
any help or direction to a simple tutorial welcome

If I understood you correctly all you need to do is having the onload event point to a function like this:

function checkCookie() {
if (document.cookie) {
document.write("You've visited this site before - welcome back!");
}
else {
document.write("This is your first visit to this site - welcome!");
// Execute the function:
layeranimagic();
// Set the cookie:
document.cookie = "visited=true";
}
}

Instead of executing the "layeranimagic" function in the else block you could also toggle the visibility of a flash movie or redirect the visitor to another page.

Hope that helps a bit.

OK what you need to do now is replacing the "layeranimagic()" call in my function with the name of your function and the arguments it needs (that's what you have in the onload now), then paste the checkCookie() funtion into your JavaScript section and finally change the body's onload event to trigger the checkCookie() function instead of the other one.
