I am running a chat program which displays a list of users along with their status (online or offline). I wish to remove the list and display their status in their respective biographies, which are separate swfs. The usernames and status are stored in a remote shared object as an array.My question is, what is the most efficent way of extracting an individual user's current status from the SO array?[code]
View 2 RepliesI am using this code:
Code:
clearList_btn.onRelease = function() {
extTracks.clear();
};
But the array in the shared object still exists.
I am having problems storing an array of objects, all of which are the same custom class in an LSO and then reloading that array from the LSO without losing the class type of the objects in the list.
I know how to store a single object of a custom class and load it withe the correct class type using the registerClassAlias() function, but I cannot seem to apply this to arrays of objects.
I am trying to save an array called messageList. Each element is a custom class GameMessage with a property called gameLevel. After I load the LSO I am trying to do something like
trace("0th message is from level " + GameMessage(messageList[0]).gameLevel);
And I am getting an exception of like this:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert Object@90fdfa1 to GameMessage.
I have registered the GameMessage class using
registerClassAlias("GameMessage", GameMessage);
and everything works if rather than a list of messages I try and save/load a single message.
I created a very simple experiment to attempt to access the same shared object in Flash Player and AIR.
A Flash SWF creates a local shared object.
A AIR application (being tested from CS3 or installed) opens the same shared object.
The data does not persist. Is this theoretically possible?
I'm using a loader for people to use to upload their own images for a background, and I want it to remember the image the next time they come to the page, so is there any way to save the loader data in a shared object? I haven't tried just using something like
Code:
sharedObject.data.dataName=loader
because I assume it doesn't work that way.
Just wondering if you can use more than one shared object, as my AS code doesn't act as i would think
Code:
---this one works
var submenu_so:SharedObject;
submenu_so = SharedObject.getLocal("menu");

Can I use Flash Shared Object to pass information between two different SWF files on two different pages within the same website?I know it can if the SWF files are the same. But what if they are different Flash object with different SWF files?
View 7 RepliesDoes anyone know if it's possible to save and access a LSO from an EXE projector on a CD?
Obviously the LSO couldn't be saved on the CD itself - would it be able to save the LSO somewhere on the users hard drive?
I have managed to find enough on the web to create something that will save and load the position of a movieclip using shared objects but I was wondering if there was a way to do it so that I could save all the positions of the moveclips on stage in one shared object rather than writing one for each movieclip.I'm guessing it can be done through an array but am getting muddled with what to do![code]
View 2 RepliesI made a shared object whiteboard but I have a stupid problem with removing objects. This is function to clear shared object :

I was thinking if there was a way to remove the shared object pop up from popping up lol?Its because Im making a game where when the player saves the pop up comes up over a 100 times and it's really frustrating, so I was thinking if you could remove the pop up entirely by using actionscript?I've found a script that shows the popup:System.showSettings(1);So is there a way to reverse this script? like System.hideSettings(1); ?
View 1 RepliesI have a client who has a video that is to only play once when a user visits. So I created a shared object to create a param that the video has been played. It works perfect locally and on my live test site. However when the client posts it on his ning website in the header it doesn't work. The strange thing is that live and locally on my server you can see the shared object and it's size through the advanced tab in Flash's privacy settings.
View 7 RepliesI have a gane that uses shared object and keeps note of highscores and users names. So - if that is possible then I can set up teaching courses on standalone pcs can't I? ie: Databses I have in access can go in XML and the recording of position in course and results of tests can also be recorded using Shared object.Is that a good way of going about things OR should the whole thing go over to AIR and its sqlite system?
View 3 RepliesI have 2 ways of accessing info in my course files (SWFs): text-only and audio playback. I'd like to use shared object to store the user preference so it remembers the setting when navigating between screens. It stores info file but each file creates its own shared object.
for example:
<path to the swf>page1.swfcoursename.sol
<path to the swf>page2.swfcoursename.sol
<path to the swf>page3.swfcoursename.sol
Since it writes and reads the SOL file of its own folder, the user setting isn't remembered when switching pages.
Does anyone knows why the output is "undefined"?:
mySo = SharedObject.getLocal("kookie");
myButton.onPress = function(){
mySo.data.nome = "dados de utilizador";

View 1 RepliesI was trying to obtain data I wrote using a sharedobject location from one application on another, but it didn't seem to work(used same machine). So I take it local stored data is only allowed to be accessed/manipulated from the application that initially wrote data to it?
Is this is for security reasons? Is there anyway around this, I want to have one application read variables from another...
I am building an application that uses a Shared Object that is shared (ironically) between 3 separate applications. 1 application listens for updates, and the others update the app. The problem I am having is that I need the main application to be able to detect changes to the Shared Object. Unfortunately there seems to be no events to listen for that are not for 'remote objects'. Because of this I created a timer that gets a new local instance of the shared object every X seconds.I just call the following before I read or write to the sharedObject:[code]This is causing a CPU Hiccup every 3 seconds and bogging down the system. so all this being said, does anyone know of a clean way to refresh a copy of the sharedobject without creating a brand new instance of it
View 2 RepliesI'm having trouble storing a dataprovider in a shared object. Writing the dataprovider object to my local shared object seems to work fine, but when I try to read this out of the shared object, it appears to have been transformed into a generic object. When I try to assign a local dataprovider variable to the dataprovider I've read out of the shared object, I get the following error:
"cannot convert Object@3721e6c9 to fl.data.DataProvider"
read a local shared object with a servlet even if there is no flash present on a page? I want to set a local shared object like a cookie, and then access it again from a page that doesn't have a flash movie.If I can't do this, is it standard to have the initial flash movie call an external javascript to set a traditional cookie that can later be read?
View 1 RepliesI have a Flash.exe projector that stores data in a Shared Object. Anything works fine if I launch it from my desktop. The Flash.exe will be recorded and used from a CD-rom. Will the path of the Shared Object change? Say, will it try to record itself on the cd?!

I have tried event.changeList but it just shoots out [Objects] without giving me values. Can't it tell me a boolean to see if it has changed?
View 1 RepliesI have simple slideshow set up where the user presses a button(forward or back) and the image changes. I used a sharedObject to save each frame, so when the page is refreshed/reloaded, the swf loads back to the image it left off on... thats the idea anyway.However, instead of just loading the previous frame when the page is refreshed, it loads frame 1, and i have to click my "next" button, which then jumps to the slide that should have loaded in the first place. I dont know why this is happening..I'm using Sothink SWF Quicker.. so heres the .sqf[URL]

View 0 RepliesI have begun to use Local Shared Objects in my projects but i appear to have got a bit stuck. To be more specific, i have two input fields, first and last names, the user enters his/her first and last names into these fields, the user clicks the "Save details" button and the Local Shared Objects are then set to remember the two names. The text above the first and last name fields change from "Welcome guest" to "Welcome, First Last!". So at this point the whole system works.
The point at which the code fails to work is when the user navigates away from the page where he/she entered the first and last names. The user then returns back to that page and the Local Shared Object has been set to the two input fields which are now blank because of the scene change. The Local Shared Object is set to nothing but is still accepted as a variable and thus makes the text above the two text fields display "Welcome, !".
I understand that what i just wrote may appear a bit compicated, but what i am essentially needing to find out is how to set the Local Shared Objects to the two input values only once when the "Save Details" button is clicked, instead of constantly checking the values of the inputs and changing the Local Shared Objects.
In code:
Code:
save.onRelease //only do this once// = function() {
first_name_txt.text = name_details.data.first_name
last_name_txt.text = name_details.data.last_name
}
