Flex :: Flash Shared Objects Storage Location Changing Occasionally
Jul 3, 2011
When running a flash application that I run locally i.e., I get to it from a browser but with a file path
file:///C:/Projects/test/bin-debug/Main.html#
Now, most of the time the shared objects are stored in
%APPDATA%MacromediaFlash Player#SharedObjectsXXXX#localWithNet
But occasionally, it reverts and thinks this application is running on localhost
%APPDATA%MacromediaFlash Player#SharedObjectsXXXXlocalhost
Which means all previous saved settings are gone.
How flash decides if the application is infact localhost or localWithNet (local with Network access). Rebooting can sometimes make it revert, but I've also had it stay localhost for a few days then revert.

There is a small feature I have implemented that makes uses of the Local Shared Objects to work properly.
I wish to be able to help the user self-diagnose if he is unable to use the said feature because he refused access for this computer to writing local shared objects and give him instructions to work around the issue if it applies to him.
I'm looking for something similar to the muted property of the Microphone class [URL] or the Camera class.

I was trying to observe how some of the top browser game makers are implementing the asset management and also study their animation techniques. So I was trying to crack my browsers cache and share-object paths to peep into the assets.What I have noticed is that all the files are hashed or encrypted with unreadable names and all of them have .sol extension example somethingbigandunredable.png.sol or somethinglesebigandhugtring. swf.sol and so on.I thought they are just suffixed with .sol and just removed the .sol and tried to open the png but its neither showing the previw nor opening in the browser. Same with the swf file.So I was wondering if there is any way to peep into their assets. I am aware of swf decompiler tool (currently using) which can extract only the unecrypted swfs.

I'm creating a small size Flex movies which contains two line charts, at the moment the size of the release build swf is 343KB, which is too large for our needs.
I've tried changing the loading of the SWC file to Runtime Shared Libraries, but I found that this removed the text of the charts (the text for the x and y axis). Why would the text be removed when the Framework linkage is set as a Runtime shared library?

I have 2 questions about remote shared objects in Flex/ActionScript3:1) If I connect to a remote shared objects, but do not handle the SYNC event, will the shared object still receive data from the server? ie. will the server still broadcast data to this client ? This is what I expect

I'm planning on building a Flex based multiplayer game, and I'm researching what will be required for the server end. I have PHP experience, so I started looking at ZendAMF.
Now in this game, I'll need the concept of rooms, and real time updates to clients in those rooms, so it looks like I'll be using remote shared objects (correct, yes?). I'm not seeing where ZendAMF can support this.It seems to indicate that ZendAMF isn't going to do what I want. WebORB for PHP seems to be the only PHP based solution that does messaging, but on that page it doesn't mention "real-time" next to it like the Java based ones below it do.

Is it possible to store instances of a class in a cookie or in shared objects.
Basically in my application I have an object "Diagram" that the user can create. If they hit save, I want to store the current instance as a cookie and allows them to reload it later.
Alternatively, I could see about getting them to store the saved version on the hard disk. But even then, all I want to save and retreive is my actionscript object.
I've tried storing the object to SharedObject.data.diag, but when I try to retrieve the object from the cookie doing SharedObject.data.diag as Diag returns null.

It is the first time I work with this kind of application. Very little experience I have. And so do the stakeholders. They want something like an (flex AIR)application that is able: save data locally if the application is close synchronize data with the server side if needed Now, it is time for me to "do something" to this requirement before it get fixed. I have so many questions, but here are some less silly one:
The requirement is about "Rarely" connected, not "Occasionally" connected, right?
If I can't change the requirement, what should I do, "hibernate" the AIR application like Windows OS or save only the data to local DB? Their possibility ?

I've done this flash scoreboard with shared objects. But what I can done is it will replace the 1st score in my scoreboard, it won't have 2nd, 3rd, 4th and etc...
The script I used is:
submit_btn.onPress = function(){
//create a new sharedObject called 'userName'
var mySharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("userName");
var mySharedObject2:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("userScore");
//assign (data) the sharedObject (mySharedObject) a var called 'name1', which has the value of whatever is in textField 'save_txt'
[Code] .....
I want to have each higher score goes to the scoreboard, so will have 10 highest score in my scoreboard. Here is my attached file in CS5 format.

Using SharedObject.getLocal I can get access to what appears to be an infinite number of files simply by using unique identifiers in the method call; What I want to know is how can I retrieve a list of all active files or shared objects that have been saved for my current domain.
I'm trying to write a save game mechanism that allows you to save your game (potentially many megabytes) so using a single shared object seems like it might cause performance issues however if I use multiple objects I'm not sure how I'd find out what has been saved without using an object just to specify the id's of the other saves - then my question becomes what happens if this "header" object is removed or deleted - how can the player access the other files?
A snippet from the flash docs:
Local disk space considerations. Local shared objects have some limitations that are important to consider as you design your application. Sometimes SWF files may not be allowed to write local shared objects, and sometimes the data stored in local shared objects can be deleted without your knowledge. Flash Player users can manage the disk space that is available to individual domains or to all domains. When users decrease the amount of disk space available, some local shared objects may be deleted. Flash Player users also have privacy controls that can prevent third-party domains (domains other than the domain in the current browser address bar) from reading or writing local shared objects.

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.

In my example below I have several objects. I want to change the label of all objects in one go, without calling each element by id. I know how to do this in HTML, but not in Flex.
CODE:
This is how I would usually set the color of 3 objects to grey in one line.
CODE:
Is there any way I can change the labels of all 3 buttons with a single line of code similar to the jQuery example?

I'm trying to make a flash game have save files using shared objects and I'd like to keep all the data in one file with several children.
The three things I'd like to do are:Check whether the file exists (create a new file if it doesn't), then check whether to child named with text in an imput box exists, and if it doesn't create a new file (using the text in an imput box), and then set the value of that node to 0.
Then later I'd like to change that node to another number (the easy part).I'd also like there to be a way to disable the shared objects (incase the user doesn't allow shared objects).I've tried to do this myself using a few tutorials, but I could get it to work.I couldn't use the text in the input box to name the child,and I couldn't check the size of the child node to see whether it existed or not.

Example:
var arr_1:Array = new Array();
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-02",status:"New"});
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-03",status:"New"});
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-04",status:"New"});
arr_1.push({sdate:"2010-02-05",status:"New"});
How can I change element number 3 status to: "Old", without removing it. Just update the status value??

I have a simple Actionscript 3 project. The code is on the timeline:
ActionScript Code:
import pti.dmutility.layout.ConfigElement;
//this Class simply extends the fl.controls.Button with variables
Then I put some instances into the stage, and make them Drag&Drop. Here is the Dragging function. I want to remember the item's puck up position when clicked, I use ConfigElement's OldX and OldY properties:
ActionScript Code:
function dragStarterItem(e:MouseEvent):void{
var item = e.target;
item.OldX = item.x;
item.OldY = item.y;
item.startDrag();
item.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragStopperItem);
}
When I click on the item, the OldX and OldY gets the actual position of the item, BUT after dropping it somewhere else, and picking up it again, the OldX and OldY is still the same! Holds the initial position, and not changing to it's new location coordinates. Every instance remembers it's initial position only. Why not change every time I click? Why remembering the first click's position only?

I had been wondering how to use shared objects for a long time and thanks a million to this mini-tut:url...I know how. The only thing is it says that to clear a shared object, you must type (used in his example) [code]but what if i wanted to delete a certain block of data on it, for example I have the shared object user.And i don't want to delete all of it, but just one block of data (specifically user.data.doc)[code]

I have a swf with four frames. The first frame loads an external class that acts as traffic controller - looks at the root flashvars being passed in and redirects to frame 2, 3, or 4.
Frame 2 is a basic login screen. There's 5 layers - 2 background layers, the login screen, and a dummy text field. I also have trace statements on every layer, which I have speaking with javascript and writing out to the Firebug console. Since the swf requires database access to know what to do, it only works on a server.
The issue I'm having is that, occasionally, not all the layers on frame 2 load. All the actionscript on every layer fires successfully. What I'll do is clear my cache, and roughly 1 out of every 3 times, the only layer that's loaded is the bottom layer, or the bottom two layers.
I've removed the login movie clip and replaced it with dummy text - nothing. I put a preloader on the first frame - nothing. I created a loader swf to, in turn, load this problematic swf - nothing. I thought it might have something to do with order of rendering so I made those bottom layers semi-transparent - nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to further diagnose this problem? While it's intermittent, it happens often enough to demand a fix.
