[support] Session management

[sander-martijn]

Well if there's a bug in flash 8 for a crucial element in your app and 
it's fixed in flash 9 then it sounds to me like you've locked yourself 
into flash 9.  I'm not sure why that's such a problem considering that 
according to adobe 90% of users support flash 9 (data as of june).  
Aside from that could you pass the session id as a flash param?
