SharedObject is not working

[mikih]

Hello,

I'm working with Flash Lite 3 final and Developer Edition on N81, N95, N95 8GB and N73. I want to store Data to the SharedObject. Its written to the SO after flushing it. But after quitting the player and restarting the app the data stored into is undefined.

Could it be some issue with the Security Sandbox in Player 8? Do I have to install the Flash Application as a real S60 Application?

Security option is Network only because of external socket use. Its not working in DC with testing Local Security profile.

Does anyone have experience with that issue?

Cheers,
Florian

Hi,

If you run the swf from Inbox, the swf will not save SO data. You need to save the swf into Others folder.

Also double check that you fully initialize the SO and access data after getting the initialize/onload event from SO.

function loadNick()
{
	loadNick_onLoad = function(so:SharedObject)
	{
		// debug
		fg.write("* SO.onload() size:" + so.getSize(), 3);
		
		if(so.getSize() > 0)
			nick = so.data.nick;
		else
			nick = "Guest";
	}
	
	SharedObject.addListener("chatMX2", loadNick_onLoad);
	var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("chatMX2");
}


function saveNick(nick:String)
{
	var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("chatMX2");
	so.data.nick = nick;
	so.flush();
}

In the above code, you can see that i have an even handler set on SO, so when SO is initialized and loaded, only after that you can access its data.

hope it helps,

Hi,

thanks for your reply! I've done it strict with event handling and onLoad, like you do. But the objects are undefined.

Setup:

SharedObject.addListener(REGISTRATION_SO, onLoadSharedObject);
registrationSO = SharedObject.getLocal(REGISTRATION_SO);

private function onLoadSharedObject() : Void {
		Debug.finest('registrationSO.getSize(): ' + registrationSO.getSize(), this);
		if(registrationSO.getSize() > 0) {
			userName = registrationSO.data.userName;
			password = registrationSO.data.password;
		}
		Debug.info('onLoadSharedObject: userName=' + userName + ', password=' + password, this);
	}

Write:

registrationSO = SharedObject.getLocal(REGISTRATION_SO);
registrationSO.data.userName = event.getUserName();
registrationSO.data.password = event.getPassword();
registrationSO.flush();

My swf is located in /Others/trusted/


Tested on n95 8GB

Crazzzzzyyy! If I write a third var called test its working ;-P

One question,

did onLoadSharedObject() function get called after you make call to registrationSO = SharedObject.getLocal(REGISTRATION_SO);?

if no, it should be.

2nd thing is, try the code this way:

private function onLoadSharedObject(mySO:SharedObject) : Void {
		Debug.finest('registrationSO.getSize(): ' + mySO.getSize(), this);
		if(mySO.getSize() > 0) {
			userName = mySO.data.userName;
			password = mySO.data.password;
		}
		Debug.info('onLoadSharedObject: userName=' + userName + ', password=' + password, this);
	}

SharedObject.addListener(REGISTRATION_SO, onLoadSharedObject);
registrationSO = SharedObject.getLocal(REGISTRATION_SO);

try it and let me know if it worked.

best,

I just tried to use SharedObjects on a N95 as well. It did not work either and even said SharedObjects were not supported
(I gave out System.capabilities.hasSharedObjects in a textfield)

I do not have any clue... why doesn't my N95 support SOs? Do I have to allow them or something?

Would be really great to get any hints...
Thanks!

Hi charlotteb,

Can you tell me which FL version your testing with, and did you checked above suggestions?

I'm developing Flash Lite 2.0, actually I don't know which Flashplayer the device is running, but that should be fine, isn't it? I could check if I knew where I can find that information.

I am using the SharedObject like this:

// load session-id from sharedObject
function loadSessionID (so:SharedObject) {
       // load last session-id
    if (so.getSize() == 0)   { 
        sessionID = 0;    // initialize session-counter
    }    
    else {
        sessionID = so.data.session;        
    }
    
}
SharedObject.addListener("Sessions", loadSessionID);
var sessionSO:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("Sessions");
sessionSO.scope = this; 

This follows the suggestions above... and it's working fine in my device central.

Thanks.

I saved the .swf on the devices memory in the folder /other, as well.
