is it possible to value store cookies in Flash or Flex?

Question

In PHP there is a setcookie function based to store it. In Flash is it possible ?. If it is possible then how? I want to store value.

Answer 1

Yes. Flash applications can store up to 100kb of data (by default) on a user's computer. This is stored in Flash cookies (Separate from browser cookies). Users can adjust how much applications can store by right clicking on a flash application and going to settings.

Here is the SharedObject API for AS3: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/SharedObject.html

You can get more info by googling "Flash SharedObject"

Make sure to be prepared to handle cases where a user does not let you put data into SharedObjects. This is becoming a popular trend among tech-savy users that are concerned about their privacy.

Good luck!
