Hi,

Is it possible to use the Flash Shared Object in Opus Pro v7 Flex?

The Opus Pro v7 help guide refers to new features in Flex including Shared Object support in Flex, using an ActionScript template. Not sure how to access the Actionscript template mentioned? I tried using conventional ActionScript in a script object in Flex. It entered without error messages, but in preview, the script showed an error (unidentified identifier for 'SharedObject').

If Shared Objects can be used in v7 Flex, can someone suggest how to set-up and script a basic shared object?:
(1) to create the SO
(2) to write a test item of data to it
(3) to read a test item of data from it back into a Flex pub

This would be very helpful: I could then try out a test project.

Here's some more information on SO's in ActionScript: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/shared_objects.htm.

Kind Regards,

Yes.

To save something to a shared object:

Code:
var so = SharedObject.getLocal("nameofcookie")
so.data.value = OPUSVARIABLE
so.flush()


To load data from a shared object:

Code:
var so = SharedObject.getLocal("nameofcookie")
OPUSVARIABLE = so.data.value

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply and sample.

When I run it in preview I get a script error message: Undefined Identifier 'Shared Object' but when I publish to SWF and run it, no script error message and it works: the entered text is saved and loads OK.

Can the script error message be ignored? Will the SWF fully run OK even with an error message? Or does the script need changing?

(I tried to attach a screen shot of the script error during preview mode, but this board would not take the jpeg or png: kept saying too big even though I reduced the image size to the allowed limits <800x<600.)

Kind Regards,

Yes ignore the script error. Unfortunately the problem with using Flash specific scripting is that it doesn't work in Opus, so you'll have to quick publish to test it.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for that information.

I've just been testing the SO function in Flex, and it's working perfectly.

Adds very useful capabilities. Great new feature!

Thanks for developing this in Flex.

Kind Regards,
