ActionScript 2.0 :: SharedObject Not Working And Size Is 0?
Feb 22, 2009
I didn't think using sharedObject was complicated, but no matter what, my variables aren't saving. I also checked the size attribute and it returns 0 (zero) even though I have my Flash Player settings set to 1 mb.
Is there a way to set a (large) maximum size for SharedObject on my domain so that I can ask the user to allocate a size greater than 100k one time and not need to ask again, even if data is added?
how to fetch the maximum size that the SharedObject class can utilize?
Something like
SharedObject.getLimit()?
I am aware, that by default, its 100kb. In the event that the user has modified their settings, and increased the SharedObject quota, then I have no idea of how to fetch the info.Is there a way to find out in AS3? Or should I just stick to the possibility that 99% of users will NOT change their settings.
I have searched all of the engines to find out why my SharedObject code is not working. It works when I publish from flash but not when live? I have this code in the first frame and the movie starts on the second. I only want the user to have to view the swf every other time they land on the page containing the movie. I am using AS2.
var replay = SharedObject.getLocal("save"); if (replay.data.name == undefined){ gotoAndPlay(2);
I am searching for the syntax to call an OnSync event on the server-side. I tried this one but there is neither a compiling error nor anything that is traced.
I've installed developer version of Flash Media Server 4.5 and trying to get remote object, but no matter how I call my object all i get is this error .I've rad configuration guide and it told me that I should set StorageDir for shared objects, enable RPC (<RPC enabled="true">) and allow shared object (<Allow>users</Allow> in <RPC> - <SharedObject> tags)
I don't know whats going on but my code is not changing the size of my text.I have a toggle button that works great on everything exept the text size.I have a text dynamic text field called myText and here is the code I'm using.
function maisLegendaF(e:MouseEvent):void{ var formatT:TextFormat = new TextFormat(); if(!e.currentTarget.toggle){[code].....
I'm working on some banners in various sizes and I noticed that I can only enter a font size in full pixels but not in decimals. I can type them in but noting happens to the size.
I am working with high image file . I have to work for iage more than 3000x6000 dimensional. Is it possible in AS3. In some blog i came to know that AS2 could not support more than 2880x2880. Please let me know if you have any experience about working in high dimensional image .
I have a re-size function on this website im working on for my BG to scale, my content to stay centered, and my nav bar to always stay top right. I need some sort of if statement saying if my navagation is 200px from the left it needs to stop moving. I hope that makes since.
Does using actionscript descrease the size of a file as compared to working with the timeline? For example, would using AS to cause a graphic to fade away be more effecient (as far as file size and performance) than using a symbol effect or even changing the alpha frame by frame? I've been using flash for a year now. I've never learned AS because I thought I could do everything from the timeline. But my files always seem so large. And most animation effects seem choppy in comparison with what I see online. Is AS the key to changing that?
I have a masked textbox which is also dynamically added to the stage from the library, and I'd like it to resize according to the amount of text loaded into it.this isn't working:
Im trying to get Flash to rember if the logo_mc has been hitTested with the holder, and if it has when the movie is played again it appears in the box and not the original spot
var mySO:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("ObjectPlace"); var logo_mc:Sticker = new Sticker ; addChild(logo_mc);
I have a slideshow that everytime you press a button show a new slide. Every slide is an external swf's that is being loaded in to the main swf. Inside every external swf there is a button that redirects you to another web page.What i would like to do is use SharedObject (or something like it) to remember wich external swf that was last shown when the user pressed the button redirecting them to an other page.How do i set the SharedObject in the external swf and then read it from the main swf?
According to the AS3 API the 'name' parameter in the 'getlocal' method is actually the name of the object. I have a bit of diffculty understanding this. Have alook at the following code:
[Code]...
If I were to access the attributes or methods of the shared object, can I use the 'name' instead of the variable, since the name is the 'name of the shared object'?
If the following code were used:
[Code]...
Why am I getting this error, if 'UserName' is the name of the shared object, than why can't I use it to refer to it's methods and other attributes? What is the meaning of it being a 'name' than?
I am working on a project that uses SharedObject and I have a question. I've made a button that downloads a flash screensaver and at the same time also creates a SharedObject which stores a specific id for each screensaver being downloaded. When later the screensaver is installed and run, it should get the SharedObject and read the id from it. When tested locally it works perfect since both the buttons´ and the screensavers´Sharedobject are stored in the same localPath. But when the button is online and the screensaver is local the SharedObject paths don't match.
Is there a way to solve this and make the local screensaver swf read the SharedObject from the same path as the online download button has stored it's SharedObject in?
This is the relevant code in both my swfs:
var _mySo:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("name", "/");
If this won't work, does anybody have another solution to my remote to local screensaver thingy??
I have a normal XML menu, when I click in an item open the sub-item, my problem is the following one, when I click in an item DVD he goes to open an sub-item, and later I click en adventure, when I click in adventure I go for the next page, my problem is this, in this new page that I will be, my menu come back to normal the sub-item adventure is not selected in the screen, and I need that be selected, I already I tried to read the SharedObject in the F1, already I tried to find some tutorial to try to understand, but nothing,
with the code below, I can change the colour of the movie clip.I need the colour of that movie clip to stay the same also afternext time visiting the page. I think it's made by the action SharedObject.
function changeColor(code, obj) { var ColorSet = new Color(obj); ColorSet.setRGB(parseInt(code, 16));
got my code working, and all information i enter in to my sharedObjects is working correctly as it should but isn't saving so when I close and then re-open the flash file the data isn't there? Admittedly I'm new to sharedObjects I'm using the [.data.] when entering info and then [.flush()] at the end of the function - is there anything I've missed?
this is just a simple question. Is it possible to set a sharedObject in a swf (say from www.A.com) , and then read that sharedObject from www.B.com , or even through the desktop (if the swf is playing directly on the desktop) ?

Im trying to setup a scoreboard type deal.I'm using SharedObjects.(CS3)I can make it WRITE to the .sol without any problems but I cant seem to make it READ from the .sol to re-display the data once the user opens the swf again.[code]
I am actually trying to add user's input name into a sharedobject.
for example: This is code from frame44 and the movie loops back to frame 1 after students input other minor data.
var newstudent:String = NewFishInput.text; var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("studentlist"); so.data.name = newstudent; so.flush();
The code that i have is there. However, i can't figure out how do i add additional instance of newstudent after the movie loops back to frame 1 and play til frame 44, prompting another student to add in his name....
I created a movie, which is some form of a a code generator. In that movie i save a a generated code using sharedobject.
(code in code generator movie) var myaccess:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("Lesson1"); myaccess.data.mycode = pass.text; myaccess.flush();
Here is my problem, i want to use this created sharedobject on another, separate movie clip, is that possible?Or are sharedobjects just work on their original movie clips?
(code in separate movie) var myaccess2:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("Lesson1"); // declared a variable for holding the data from sharedobject to see if it will load the data txt.text = myaccess2.data.mycode // Load failed, txt.text displays undefined
