Question

I have made a website and put inside it a flash game.

For people to play the game they have to log into the website.

Logging to the website will create a session. I want for the flash game to get the session id ,

so I have created a function that gets the session id. It works only in Internet Explorer and

when I tried it in Chrome, it didn’t retrieve the session id.

So any help?

I have written a php file that will be used by the as3 to get the session id, the php code is this:

<?php
define( '_JEXEC', 1 );

define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__) );

define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );

require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );

require('libraries/joomla/factory.php');
class session
{
    public function getId()
    {
        $mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication('site');
        $mainframe->initialise();

        $user =& JFactory::getUser();
        $user_id = $user->get('id');

        //echo($user_id);

        return $user_id;
    }
}

?>

When i tried the flash in IE, the flash got the correct session id, but in Chrome it didn’t.

You could try passing on the session identifier stored in a cookie to the embedded Flash, and then passing it on with Flash as a parameter to the server to identify and initialise the session.
