FLASH® LITE™ 2.x - Adobe Help and Support

Example
The following example saves text to a shared object named my_so (for the complete example,
see SharedObject.getLocal()):
var my_so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("savedText");
// myText is an input text field and inputText is a dynamic text field.
myText.text = my_so.data.myTextSaved;
// Assign an empty string to myText_ti if the shared object is undefined
// to prevent the text input box from displaying "undefined" when
// this script is first run.
if (myText.text == "undefined") {
myText.text = "";
}
changedListener = new Object();
changedListener.onChanged = function (changedField) {
my_so.data.myTextSaved = changedField.text;
inputText.text = "";
inputText.text = my_so.data.myTextSaved;
}
myText.addListener(changedListener);
flush (SharedObject.flush method)
public flush(minDiskSpace:Number) : Object
Writes shared object to a local, persistent file. To guarantee that the shared object will be
written to the device, the application must force a write operation by calling the flush()
method.
Unlike in Flash Player, the write operation is asynchronous and the result is not immediately
available.
Parameters
minDiskSpace:Number - An integer specifying the number of bytes that must be allotted for
this object. The default value is 0.
Returns
Object - A Boolean value, true or false; or a string value of "pending". The flush()
method returns pending for most requests, with the following exceptions:
■ If there is no need to write data (that is, the data has already been written), flush()
returns true.
