Thanks for your reply. I did submit this a while ago in the Flash Pro
forum and received like 100 views but no replies :(
First, we are the server and controller of the SWF - we are using
Flash not to display movies but for its storage capabilities in
connection with security tokens (I am just a developer - I didn't make
the architecture decisions :) Actually what I was looking for was an
approach through SWFObject which would "infer" local storage
availability or not. I have been trying to attempt create a
"cookiemanager" swfObject and then write a cookie and look at the
return value to determine whether successful or not. So far I am
having no luck - the return values are the same regardless of whether
the client has enabled or disabled flash local storage (getting false
positives). Here is code snippet:
var so = new SWFObject(flashyUrl, "cookiemanager", "0", "0",
"6", "#ffff00");
so.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "always");
alert("SO Write Result: " + writeResult.toString());
var cookiemanager = getFlashMovieObject("cookiemanager");
cookiemanager.SetVariable("/_level0:CookieName", cookieName);
cookiemanager.SetVariable("/_level0:CookieValue",
cookieValue);
cookiemanager.SetVariable("/_level0:call", "SetCookie");
var writeResult = so.write("FlashCookie");
var scRes = cookiemanager.GetVariable("/
_level0:setCookieRes");
if (scRes == "false") {
alert("Please unclick 'Never' button in flash local
storage settings dialog box \n and increase the memory size");
return false;
} else if (scRes == "pending") {
alert("Please increase disk space in flash local storage
settings");
return false;
} else if (scRes == "true" || scRes == cookieValue) {
return true;
} else {
alert("Error: "+scRes);
return false;
}
Any ideas of what I could do to fix or another approach to "infer"
whether local storage working on the client?
