SharedObject issue

Hi there folks,

I'm having a small issue with the implementation of SharedObject.

My code is:

Code:

---

var my_so:SharedObject;

function jumpIn(){
        attachMovie("startScreen", "startScreen", _root.getNextHighestDepth(),{_x:0,_y:24});
        if(my_so.data.player != undefined){
                trace(my_so.data.player);
                startScreen.myName.text = my_so.data.player;
        }
        else{
                my_so = SharedObject.getLocal("dataGatherer"); // defines the SharedObject
        }
}

jumpIn();

---

and then later on in a dynamicMC

Code:

---

startScreen.dataEntry.onRelease = function() {  // button is being pressed here
        numQ = startScreen.myQ.text;
        //count=numQ;
        me = startScreen.myName.text;
        myMail = startScreen.myEmail.text;
        if (startScreen.myName.text == "" || startScreen.myQ.text == "" || startScreen.myEmail.text == "") {
                display.htmlText = "Please enter your name, your email address and the number of questions you wish to answer.";
        } else if (numQ<1) {
                display.htmlText = "You must select between 1 and 50 questions";
        } else {
                my_so.data.player = startScreen.myName.text;
                timer = numQ*90;// total time available in seconds
                initial_time = timer;
                startClock();
                display.htmlText = "Click the question button to continue "+me;
                startScreen._visible = false;
                qbtn.enabled = true;
                reset_btn.enabled = false;
                for (var k = 0; k<topics.length; k++) {
                        var tarray = topics[k].slice(2, 3);
                        loadArray(myQuestions[tarray]);// load up the array
                }
                randomiseArray();
        }
};

The idea being that a repeat visitor will have his details filled into the dynamicMC form field rather than having to do it him/her self.

It's not working.

Any idea where I'm going wrong?

Hi,

It would be much easier for you to attach your *.fla, save having to try and mimic your file.
Then we can try to help you out a little more.

Hi this is my shared object:


var high_score=10;
var saveData:SharedObject;
function startup(){
saveData = SharedObject.getLocal("sol_fn");
high_score = 0;
if(saveData.data.scoreSaved == null){
}else{
loadData();
}
}

function save_Data(){
saveData.data.scoreSaved = high_score;
saveData.flush();
}

function loadData(){
high_score = saveData.data.scoreSaved;
trace("hi score is " + saveData.data.scoreSaved);
}

startup();

just call save_Data(); and the var high_score will be saved to the sol file


call loadData(); and the variable high_score will be the last thing you used save_data(); on

maybe he share code and we make fits togetyher
