ActionScript 3.0 :: Saving A Clone To A Shared Object?
May 13, 2010
(I see this same type of question was posted almost three years ago with no resolution, does anyone have a solution now? am trying to save a clone of a custom object (contains arrays and other custom objects as properties) to a Shared Object.Basically I have a menu system that created this program, it's running and at any point I want the user to be able to save it so he can go back to that exact point at a later date. Here is what I do so far:1. Pause the program2. The menu saves the variable that references the running program using a bytearray to a shared object3. A a later time, to load the program I pull the data from the shared object and save it to a variable, which I then treat like the original programHere is my code to save the data:
Code:
var byteArrayCloner:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
byteArrayCloner.writeObject(myProgram);
[code].....

I have used SO's to save and retrieve simple variables successfully, but I am a problem saving and retreiving array data in the following example: [URL] A user selects several options using radio buttons. All that happens is that the SO should store in memory which buttons the user clicked on. If run through flash with the output window, you can see that when the save button is clicked, the data is saved. But when you load the activity a second time, the array data that was stored in the SO only gets recalled as 'undefined'.

I'm trying to save an object to a shared object, the thing is that while i run it the first time it works perfectly, but as soon as the swf is closed and re-opened my object just disappears.If I'm not wrong this is because it's a custom class instance and the .data saves a reference to the object instead of the object which is deleted as soon as the program closes.My question is:I've tried saving each var in a different data.[something], having to save five variables might not be bad but what about twenty or more.

I know the basics of shared objects but I never really got into it I was wondering if there is a way that I could save and load movieclips that I attach to the stage(Each has its own name such as clip_1,clip_2,etc) including the location(_x,_y,rot) and have it duplicate them all over again and move them to the same location as before (I'm using Actionscript 2, by the way)

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 need to be able to clone an object. The object is not a visual one, only having basic information (strings, booleans and integers). What I want to do is be able to get another object that is identical with the current one. Let me be more specific. I have the class RAM that has some info (like capacity and stuff like that). I have different object with different specs. let's call them ram1, ram2 and ram3.
I want a function that given an object will return another object with the same specs. I can always implement a clone() method inside the RAM class...but this isn't something portable and it won't work with other objects, for example CPUs. Is there any way I can clone an object. I already tried this: [URL] but that returns null.

I'm trying to figure out a way to clone / copy a dictionary object.
I came across some articles on cloning that offer this code.
This does not seem to work for dictionary objects. I think it only really works for basic objects.
Has anybody come across a way of cloning a dictionary before
Code:
function clone(source:Object):*
{
var myBA:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
[Code].....

I have this "left half of a door" image in my library, and I did cloned the same image to the stage, making it "right half of a door" but really would like to know what would be the right way of doing such things..[code]Should I just make new instance, or do it through function? Is there a memory issues in one of those, what hurts Flash more?

I have a collection of movieclips, I would like to create a clone (a new instance) of a instance everytime I create a new object.
For example
var s:Star = new Star(); // star-shaped movielcip
addChild(s);
// then I want to duplicate an instance of s and add it beside s
For an example like above, it's simple enough to create a new instance with a different name and just add it to the display list. But I have a list of objects I would like to clone as a group...?

I want to load some .swf files using the Loader class. I'm all set with that and got the image on screen but I wish to have multiple instances of it. Do I have to reload one for each that I intent on using?
For example say I'm attempting to load a power up's graphic from an .swf (i'll call it ex.swf). I load it and then put the image I loaded into the power up. But then I also want to have another power up of the same type somewhere else, and I want to use that same graphic. Neither adding the loaded ex.swf's contents or simply assigning the contents to a child of the power up will work obviously. So do I have to load a new copy every single time i want a new one, or can I just clone/duplicate the contents?
I mean I know it must be common for games to have 100's of copies of the same graphic being used by different things, yet If I try to preload the amount I'd need it's not exactly flexibly and if I load them as I need them it seems bad practice..

I want to clone an object of a class (whose source code I do not have) and copy all of the associated event handlers from the original object to the new cloned object. Does anyone know how I can do that? I know how to copy the properties from the original to the new, but can I iterate over all the event handlers and add them to the new object?

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.

I want to clone a class object. I tried following from here:
package

import flash.utils.ByteArray;
[Code]...
BUT this only works when the class has a default constructor and not when it has parameterized constructor:

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 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); ?

I 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.

I 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?

I 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.

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]

I 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

I'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?
