I've set up a shared object using user_so.data.flashVar = value.This works fine, but as it is being used to store details for saved games, users could easily edit their saved games to cheat their way through the game. Is there any way to check if a shared object has been altered outside of Flash, or are there any other methods of saving files in AS2 that I'm unaware of?

View 1 RepliesIs there a possibility to find out which objectEncoding was used for a loaded SOL file?(The properity is always defaultObjectEncoding when not manualy set)
View 0 RepliesAfter spending a whole week on this,which most likely will turn out to be very simple, I have an xml file (with over 1300 cNodes) that is set up like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<rNode>
<cNode theWord="A" theSynonym="A" theMeaning="A" theExample="A" />
[Code].....
What I am trying to do is to create an array (arr =[]) that hold only the cNodes chosen in the "saveText" .. in other words the cNodes assigned the value var = 1 in the SO file.
Is this easier done as a temporary array or as second SO file.
what is the maximum size of SharedObject file?
View 2 RepliesI have attempted to create a save file using sharedObject but it doesn't work. I don't get any errors it just doesn't seem to save when I press the save button. In the main frame I have:
Code:
user_so = SharedObject.getLocal("user");
if(user_so.data.tclock != undefined) {
clock_txt.text = user_so.data.tclock;
gregism_txt.text = user_so.data.gregism;
} else {
gregism = 0
clock = -1
}
In the save button movie clip I have:
Code:
on(release) {
user_so.data.tclock = _root.clock_txt.text;
user_so.data.gregism = _root.gregism_txt.text;
user_so.flush()
}

View 1 RepliesI'm currently working on a chat with uploading an image and sharing it. The problem is I can upload and display the image but I can't share it to the other side. Here is some code:

Currently, I do serialize my model object to the SharedObject instance:
try {
var mySo:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("sig");
mySo.clear();[code]....
Likewise, I load the saved model using the SharedObject instance. Works great.Ultimately, I'd like to serialize it to a file - which fails. Here is how:
var fp: File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
fp = fp.resolvePath( PREFS_FILENAME );
var _prefsStream:FileStream;[code]....
The complementing read operation suddenly breaks and reports missing bytes.In fact, I can't image how FileStream / _model.writeExternal() is able to serialize, since it needs to somehow know, that a new serialization operation is about to start. If it doesn't know, it won't be able to determine, which object instances are left to serialize.Thus, I image that my concept is completely wrong or I missed how to initialize the serialization operation.I'd be happy to read the raw ByteArray from the shared object and write it to a file. Unfortunately, I didn't find a method to retrieve from a SharedObject a ByteArray of a certain property, in my case mySo.data.model.My question is loosely related to this one: Why does delete( DictionaryInstance[ key ] ); fail?
Gives me this error:
Error: Error #2134: Cannot create SharedObject.

Is there a way to check file name case when loading a file? For example:

View 2 Repliesonce a video file has been encoded into an flv is there a way to confirm the compression settings? Say if I wanted to double check that I had the right setting or duplicate setting of a flv I encoded earlier, is there a way to access this info?Like QT you can choose Movie Inspector.In QT I opened a flv file that was encoded with a Max data rate: 50kbps (I know, I know very low but it's the setting I was given). I then selected Movie Inspector thinking it could do the trick but it listed the data rate as 359.68 kbits/s.is if I encoded at a Max data rate: 50kbps how is 359.68 listed as it's data rate in QT?

View 2 Repliesis there a way to capture the Error loading message as a boolean when loading an external file (AS2)? I wanted to make a decision based on the success for loadMovieNum.
The scenario is that I have a file that I am loading with loadMovieNum and all is working successfully.
The circumstance I wish to cover is if the file is missing for any reason, I want to load a placeholder movie.
I have looked at onLoad and onClipEvent(load) but these appear to only be for movieclips and not external files.
