Shared Shared Objects

  • Alright this might be a realy stupid question but i have done very little work with shared objects so i dont know. Is it possible to acces a shared object from a different swf than it was created from? Basically what i have is a tile based game and i want to create a level editor for it so i just need to one swf to save an array then the other one to load it. I've been playing around with it a bit and i cant get it to work so i thought i'd ask here so if its not possible, i dont waste any more time.


  • Aha, nice :) thanks


  • Its good to know i can do that but it kinda doesnt help me cos i wanted to run both swfs from the net, so they would be in seperate locations and that wouldnt work. Thanks anyway.


  • This isn't possible, apparently.
    I just did a quick test with two files, one setting the data and the other tracing it, but it always returns undefined.


  • Its pretty simpel to read data thats created with flash.
    If you use a slash as youre path, it can be read by other sfw's on the same domain.

    test the swfs i attached.





    edit, if you look at the readcook first, you get an undefined, but thats because theres no data yet, you have to do the setcook first
