In your save and get methods, always init the mySO by doing "mySO =
SharedObject.getLocal("testSO")"... I think you have to do this everytime.Also I use SO as well and they do save the data type of a complex object when saving the object, so when u read it back, it is just of type Object. So careful with the XML.

I'm surprised since the Flash Forum is so active one can get several answers within hours and on the Flex Forum one can go months and never get an answer. At any rate... I am trying to store some XML in the SharedObject, but it doesn't seem to work. I think I'm getting it in there, but if I close the app and then try to retrieve it, it is null. I have the following test code. What the heck am I doing wrong?!?!? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" creationComplete="init()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import valueObjects.CustomVO; import flash.net.registerClassAlias; private var mySO:SharedObject; private function init():void{ mySO = SharedObject.getLocal("testSO"); } private function saveSO():void{ var obj:CustomVO = new CustomVO("test string",12345); var tagname:String = "mytag"; var x:XML = <{tagname} name={obj.name} id={obj.id}/>; var test:CustomVO = CustomVO.buildCustomVOFromXML(x); trace (test); //this works fine, so my x:XML variable seems fine mySO.data.testString = obj.name; mySO.data.testXMLData = x; // the debugger shows the data is in mySO fine at this point mySO.flush(); } private function getSO():void{ //if I close the application and then launch again and invoke this //function the testString is there OK, but the testXMLData is null var theData:Object = mySO.data; var theXML:XML = mySO.data.testXMLData; //this comes back null trace(theData); // shows [object Object] trace(mySO.data.testString);// shows 'test string' trace("test xml data: "+theXML.toXMLString()); // shows no data } private function removeSO():void{ mySO.clear(); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Button x="175" y="101" label="Save SharedObject" click="saveSO ()"/> <mx:Button x="175" y="165" label="Retrieve SharedObject" click="getSO ()"/> <mx:Button x="175" y="235" label="Remove SharedObject" click="removeSO()"/> </mx:Application> package valueObjects{ [Bindable] public class CustomVO{ public var name:String; public var id:Number; public var timeStamp:Number; public function CustomVO(name:String,id:Number){ this.name = name; this.id = id; this.timeStamp = new Date().milliseconds; } public function toString():String{ return ("[CustomVO]" +name+","+id+","+timeStamp); } public static function buildCustomVOFromXML(item:XML):CustomVO{ var v:CustomVO = new CustomVO([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]); return v; } } } -- WARNING ------- This electronic message and its attachments may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information, which is solely for the use of the intended recipient.
