Ok....so I see that there is a .setProperty() method on the
SharedObject, so I can "save" the cookie based on parameter name, as
in the following:
function saveCookie(key:String, value:String):void {
so.setProperty(key, value);
}
BUT!!! How does one GET the value using a parameter name. There is
no so.getProperty(key);
Appears that the only way to get a stored value is off of the so.data
object. And you can't parameterize this. And this is my problem.
function getCookie(key:String):void {
// This always attempts to get a cookie with the name "key"
return so.data.key;
}
Any ideas? Thanks!
