Very weird session/cookie issue

I have a page that when you type in the URL, or use a regular href link I created, it works fine. We have a flash header with just a regular button link in it. When you use the link in the flash header the page can't read the session or cookie values. Any ideas?

We figured it out, the flash guy didn't put the www in the URL, and we had a problem before where if you didn't type in www in the address you would get a page cannot be displayed. It's like the server doesn't recognize them as the same site when the www isn't in there.

technically they're not the same site, www is a different 'host' than the root of the domain.

You can modify your DNS record with www as a CNAME instead of an A record to make them equivalent.
