[AS 3] Shared Object between Multiple SWF Files

1 comment so far

I have been working on my .mp3 player that requires two .swf movies, one to play the music and another to control it (like a remote control to your stereo). This implementation is required so as the user navigates from one page to another the music will not be interrupted. The good thing is that the SharedObject can be retrieved by other movies if you use a line of code such as:

_so = SharedObject.getLocal(”SharedObjectID”,”/”);

One thing to be careful of is to not allow the ability of other .swf movies (other than your own) to retrieve/edit/delete this object.
