I would definitely go with shared object. You can access it from whatever
app you like if you pass a local path parameter, like this:
so = SharedObject.getLocal ("mySharedObject", "/")
so = SharedObject.getLocal ("mySharedObject", "/myProject")
Etc...
If you don't pass the path, it generates a local path for you, which is
indeed different for each application, to avoid naming conflicts. But by
specifying the path you bypass that and can call it from anywhere you like.Karina > -----Original Message----- > From: kent humphrey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 19 March 2007 10:50 > To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com > Subject: [Flashcoders] shared local object, or XML export? or other? > > For an upcoming project, I have to investigate whether to use > a shared localobject for storing user data, or exporting XML. > > This is for a cd based app, not a website.
