[RESOLVED] AS2 SharedObject.getLocal

[Wisconsin]

I recently purchased CS4 and am trying to publish some older files with no changes to them and am having the following problem.

I want to place a SharedObject on the local machine. The idea is this. Students take a quiz once. When they try to take the quiz twice and they are sent to a frame telling them they can't.

I used this code with Flash MX 2004

my_so = SharedObject.getLocal("myCookie");
if (my_so.data.lock445556789) {
gotoAndPlay("locked");
}
my_so.data.lock445556789 = true;
my_so.flush(); 

When I publish those files as projector files (player 6, actionscript 1) in CS4 they work fine.

I used the same code in Flash 8 (player 8, actionscript 2). The code worked fine when published with flash 8 but no longer works when the same files are published in CS4. (Everything else works fine)

I tried updating just that snippet of code to this.

var mySharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("myCookie");
if (mySharedObject.data.skipQuiz == "12345") {
    gotoAndPlay("locked");
} else {
    play();
}
mySharedObject.data.skipQuiz = "12345";
mySharedObject.flush(); 

The files work when published as SWF but not when they are published as projector files. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I should mention. The above code appears on the first frame of the main timeline.

I found the documentation that solved my problem. I needed to disable the new security settings in CS4 before using getLocal().

  Security.exactSettings=false; 

Now everything works fine.
