Just out of interest, what benefit exactly does this class provide?
You seem to offer the same methods that the shared object does with
different names (although the names are clearer, I'll give you that).

Hi.
I made up this little class to manage Shared Objects.
But there is something (or more than simply "something") in AS I don't
perfectly understand.
The problem (I imagine there can be many more, but...) is that I can't add more
than one data property. I post the code with some comment:

Kevin,
Thanks for the fresh thinking! Like you, I'm kind of leaning toward the
idea that this is maybe not worth too much further effort, considering the
limited scope of the problem. If nothing else, at least the issue is now
documented in more places than before. :)
