Well, SharedObjects only serialize intrinsic
classes; the disorder could be coming from the fact your saving a DataProvider,
which isn't just an Array.
My suggestion is to write a go
between:
var a:Array = [];
var i:Number = dataProvider.length;
while(i--)
{
var item =
dataProvider.getItemAt(i);
var o = {};
o.label =
item.label;
o.data = "">
a[i] = o;
}
so.data.savedData = a;
so.flush();
That way, you know for sure it's in the right
order; other random properties, though, of the item, won't get stored unless you
physically write them out like I did with label and data.
If you know the class, or rather, the item's class,
you could write your own init function for it that takes a generic object, and
initializes the class from that data.

Subject: [flexcoders] RE: SharedObject stores data
unpredictably? I have an
editable combobox where I am saving the entries entered by users. I am
saving them to a SharedObject.
When I later
retrieve the data from this SharedObject, I noticed that the data are no longer
in the original order. For example, if the data currently in the combobox
dropdown were the strings A, B, C, and D from top to bottom, after I do
a:
var comboBoxSharedObject =
SharedObject.getLocal("myCookie");
delete comboBoxSharedObject.data.dataProvider;
comboBoxSharedObject.data.dataProvider = dataProvider; // where dataProvider is the combobox's dataProvider comboBoxSharedObject.flush(); When I later
retrieve this same set of data later, the order of A, B, C, and D are no longer
preserved. Instead, it comes back in some other sort order.
Any suggestions on
how I can prevent this problem?
