May 25, 2010Is there a way to stop SharedObject from saving automatically when closing the window?
I'd like to have it only save when clicking a button.

I'd like to have it only save when clicking a button.
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?
View 5 RepliesI'm working with AS3 with timeline code. I would like to save date and time a user took a quiz. This information will help check when a user took a quiz. I can see the date and time as I want, but it isn't saved. SharedObject is not saving date and time. Here is my code. How can I do this?
var mySharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("sampleCode", "/");

View 1 RepliesI am creating a game which uses the sharedObject to save each players progress locally. It also connects to a central database to create an online scoreboard. When a user inserts a score for the first time a unique ID is sent out of the database to the swf and saved as part of the sharedObject data.Absolutely everything works and the ID is saved to the sharedObject, however when the swf is restarted the ID does not load (even though the other variables saved in the sharedObject do load).I think it may be to do with the way it is formatted, perhaps to do with the XML but I'm not sure.
FLASH CODE
function saveGame(currID:Number) {
gameInfo.data["playername"+currID] = playername;

I'm saving several arrays into a SharedObject and I'm able to read them back fine from the SharedObject when the movie loads. However, one of these arrays contains numbers instead of strings, and the contents of this numeric array show up as 'undefined' when read back from the SharedObject.
View 0 RepliesNOTE: I want to save the actual bytecode for the AS3 class, NOT an instance of it! A class is being loaded in externally and extracted via a URLLoader and then Loader.loadBytes. A single Class is then extracted out of that Application Domain and used in the project. Now, rather than saving the entire Loader (either via SharedObject or other means of storage) is it possible to "extract out" the bytecode of the needed class and all dependencies, which can then be "injected" back into an empty shell or something to be reused when needed?
View 2 RepliesI am using a movieclip "table" that is attached on the enter frame event at the main scene. I am trying to save variable "money" and I use this code inside the movieclip, when I test the movie it shows me money1 as undefined and I cant find why! I have used _root. and doesn't work.
PHP Code:
var svar = sharedobject.getLocal("MY VAR");
svar.data.moneynew = money;
svar.flush();
money1=svar.data.moneynew;

I want it to while still easing into place like the iphone does. For example my stage is 550px. The drag and throw MC is 1650. That's 550x3. If the first image is showing starting at x axis 0 and you drag to the left it will ease into place stopping and showing the second image stopping the image at x axis 0. And the same thing scrolling to the next one and scrolling back. So the code is below and I've attached the movie that I'm working on.

i got this scene, with this specific bgm , individual frame layer. and the sounds at another layer. what i want is to stop the sound without stopping the bgm . (yes, i know the above code wouldn't work as it stops all sounds)
I am making a character walk. This code will make him wobble to the right and when thats done it will trigger him to wobble to the left and then call the function again to continue the loop.I can get the loop to work fine by calling the function but how do I STOP the function? Also I want to call it later on. Is there a way to start and stop a function?
function wobble()
{
var ws = .1;
var dis = 1;

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){

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?
View 1 RepliesAccording 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:

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??

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) ?

View 2 RepliesI 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.

if(localSaved.data.firstRun == undefined){
firstRun = true;

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]
View 4 RepliesI 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....
This is my flow chart for the project:
Frame 1;
1. User enter in a textinput named "studentname"
2. username is stored in a sharedobject (studentlist)
3. Show data of what previous students entered by evoking studentlist
Frame 2:
3. Current user enter other details, then movie loops back to Frame 1..
How do i store the a list of all students who entered their names in studentlist?
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
i tried to learn about SharedObjects from here: [URL] ...=00001504.html but i dont really get it In a code like this:
var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("userHighScore");
so.data.highScore = new Number();
so.flush();
which variable is actually flushed, the userHighScore or highScore? and how to use the shared objects on boolean variables?
