title: Accessing the value of a session variable of a specific session
body: <p>I'm trying to integrate a public message board service into an existing web site. </p>
  
  <p>The handshaking between the apps goes like this:</p>
  
  <p>1) File on my web site loads a flash file. The Flash reads a local variable that is the Session ID, or some other GUID unique to the user session.</p>
  
  <p>2) Flash app connects with the remote service, passing the SessionID to the service.</p>
  
  <p>3) The service issues a GET request back to the originating web site, asking for additional information about the user.</p>
  
  <p>4) The originating web site (my site) validates that the session ID is for a valid session, and if yes, passes back the other requested information. </p>
  
  <p>I'd like to be able to use the intrinsic ASP SessionID but I'm not sure how in Classic ASP to retrieve session variables for a <strong>specific</strong> ASP Session, ie, I want the value of Session("FirstName") where SessionID=1234 and not Session("FirstName") for any other session ID. I haven't been able to find any syntax that would allow me to do this.</p>
  
  <p>The alternative is to create a new GUID for every session, but that's adding a lot of overhead.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
