ahhh. well that makes sense now. Thanks for the education on the subject. I have only used LSO's to store XML data with simple types.
Thanks guys. On 3/1/07, Merrill, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Unfortunately, there's a few non-primitive data types that can't be saved to shared objects owing to an apparent lack of serialization support in the native code. Among these are BitmapData and ByteArray. To persist these data into shared objects, they must first serialized into primitives before they can be persisted into shared objects, for instance, as Base64-encoded string or a packed array of 8-byte Numbers.
