Right so what you're essentially talking about is a Model, and the SharedObject
is acting as a Service.
public class Model extends EventDispatcher
{
private var so:SharedObject;
public function Model()
{
super();
init();
}
private function init():void
{
so = SharedObject.getLocal("yourAppName");
}
public function set foo(value:int):void
{
so.data.foo = value;
so.flush();
dispatchUpdate();
}
public function get foo():int
{
return so.data.foo;
}
public function set bar(value:String):void
{
so.data.bar = value;
so.flush();
dispatchUpdate();
}
public function get foo():String
{
return so.data.bar;
}
private function dispatchUpdate():void
{
dispatchEvent(new ModelEvent(ModelEvent.UPDATE));
}
// etc.
}
Get the idea? It might seem like a lot of extra work, but by mapping out all of
the values you need, it will be extremely clear what's being stored and what
type each property is. It will help you avoid missing things you should be
storing (like a checklist), and you will always be able to guarantee that the
value you're getting is what you're expecting, avoiding run-time errors.
By listening the model for its update event, you're also guaranteeing that if
one thing updates a value in the SharedObject, anyone who cares about that value
will be updated that the value has potentially changed.
