Can no longer clear Local Shared Objects (Persistent Identification Element)

The equivalent of a cookie in Flash is the "Persistent
Identification Element" which is also called a "local shared
object." The Adobe TechNote titled "How to manage and disable Local
Shared Objects" at url
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=52697ee8
provides a link to control deleting Local Shared Objects. That link
contained in the TechNote is "Website Storage Settings panel":
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.htm l
Until today, that was a good link that enabled me to clear
the local shared objects. Today, however, the link leads to a
totally different page of miscellaneous Adobe matters.
Does anybody know the correct link to clear my Flash player
of the local shared objects?
Thanks very much.

Your Template code is incomplete / corrupted.
That's why you can't edit it.
Try opening your .dwt file in a plain text editor like NotePad. Remove the editable regions from code. Save. Open in DW.
You will need to SaveAs Template (same name as the one used by your child pages). Add editable regions to match the ones in your child pages. Save.

Can Local Shared Objects Be Moved to a New Computer?

We are awaiting the arrival of our new computer. My 8-year old son is concerned that when he plays his favorite Flash games on the new computer, the games won't remember his previous score or level in the game.
I understand that this information is typically stored in Local Shared Objects. Therefore, my question:
Can the LSOs on our existing [Windows XP] computer be moved to our new [Windows 7] computer? If so, do I store them in the same location in Windows 7 as they are stored in Windows XP?
Thanks for your advice.
The Daddy

I think these data are stored in one of the following locations (in Windows XP):
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache
and/or
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player
Easier than to type the full access path for these two folders would be to use the %APPDATA% environment variable; you would type the following into Windows Explorer's address bar:
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache
and/or
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
Now in Windows 7 these are in a slightly different place:
C:\users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache
and/or
C:\users\[username]AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player
which would be, using the environment variable:
%appdata%\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache
and/or
%appdata%\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player
What I would do is to copy the full contents of both folders from XP to 7, before installing Flash Player on the new machine.
Let us know if this worked.

Clearing a shared object

I am using a local shared object on my site banner, so the
animation only plays through once when visitors arrive at the site.
Is there a way of using clear(); on the lso when visitors
leave the domain or after say, 24 hours?
Here's my code:

that mostly depends upon how you want to retrieve the
data/time. if you can accept the user's date/time (which should be
consistant - it may be off by 12 hours, but it will almost always
be consistantly off), you can use the date object to access the
date/time. if you need more accuracy, you'll need to use some
server-side code that will check the date/time at the server.
which are you going to use? and are you just checking if
24hours has expired since the sharedobject was last
accessed?

Local Shared Object not working in Firefox 2

I'm using a local shared object in my flash animation so that
the animation plays only once per user visit. It works fine in IE
6/7, but doesn't work at all in FF (the movie still plays when I
refresh the homepage, or come back to the homepage from another
page).
This is what I'm using:
var my_so = SharedObject.getLocal("animationPlayed");
if (my_so.data.played == undefined)
my_so.data.played = true;
my_so.flush();
else
gotoAndStop(258);
} // end else if
clearLSO_btn.onRelease = function ()
my_so.clear();
stop ();
And this is the site:

Any ideas?
Thanks

Both of these load no problems in my FF3

Problem Assigning Local Shared Object

I have created a swf that increments a dollar amount every
five seconds. My clients want this dollar counter to be consistent
between HTML pages. That is where the local shared object comes in.
I can create it fine, and even read it (I know this by a trace() I
used). But for the life of me I can't get the value from the shared
object passed to the dynamic text field as soon as the swf is
loaded. It always starts at the beginning increment of 0.192!
I'm pretty sure what is messing me up is either the function
that formats the number to a dollar format or the function that
increments the dollar value up every five seconds and saves that
value to the shared object.
Using the code below, you can create a flash file with a
dynamic text labeled 'money' and the actionscript copied into the
first frame on the timeline.
Any help would be great appreciated!

Hi,
I am also new to flex.
But here is what I think.
You may want put it into servicelocator since sharedobject is not part of you cilent datamodel.
Use delegate to update your modellocator with value from sharedobject.
Hope it can help.
If you solved the problem, pls also post it and we can learn together:)

I can no longer activate home sharing on my Apple TV

I have an Apple TV 2nd (or 3rd) generation. It was working fine until I updated the firmware one month ago. I can no longer activate home sharing. The WIFI connection works fine as I was able to restore the device. Home sharing is active on my computer (and my iPad and iPhone). When I try to activate home sharing on Apple TV it says that the Apple ID or password are incorrect. I know it is not the case as reentered it many times and very carefully. I also rest the device many times and restored the software twice.

Bump... I have the same issue (on Ipad 4 and Itunes on Windows 7).

HT3819 Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. chI have checked all IDs, rebooted iTunes, AppleTV, and my router, eck port settings in my firewall. Nothing works. Is it me or did this update screw things up?

Since the last AppleTV update I can no longer use home sharing. I have checked all IDs, re-booted iTunes, my router, and AppleTV, and checked the port settings in my firewall. nothing works. Is it me or did this last update really scew things up?

Hi,
I tried everythink, but same as before!
- droppings ot the main screen
- loosing Home Share
now even on iPads !
Frustrating!
I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention
Tweety
This is the mailbody I always use
Hello all,
Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
- Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
- streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
- iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
- second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
- third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
- fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
- all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
- 2 Apple TV second generation
- 1 Apple TV first generation
- 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
- 2 iPads (second generation)
all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
Thanks for every effort in advanced.

With the new Yosemite update (10.10.3) I can no longer transfer my photographs into Adobe Photoshop Elements by the previously expedient 'click and drag' method. Neither am I able to import or export them. Does anyone have suggestion on moving them?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

Local Shared Objects and multiple SWFs: mutexes necessary?

I will have multiple SWFs on a single web page, each reading
and writing the same SharedObject, which may be up to 100K in size.
Will I need to create some sort of mutex scheme to ensure that one
SWF isn't writing while another is reading, or do all SWFs on a
page essentially run as a single-threaded application?

>1) I don't think a SharedObject.flush is synchronous.
I believe it is, as long as you're not attempting to write
more data than the user has set for the Local Storage limit.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/net/SharedObject.html#flush()
You'll note that flush is described this way: "Immediately
writes a locally persistent shared object to a local file", and if
it returns "SharedObjectFlushStatus.FLUSHED" that means that "The
shared object has been successfully written to a file on the local
disk". So I'd say that the normal operation of flush() is
synchronous. However, the SharedObjectFlushStatus.PENDING state
means that we've exceeded the limit set by the user, and are
waiting for them to allow or disallow it. I believe (strongly) that
that's the only case in which a netStatus event is sent.
Do you read this differently?
As far as multiple SWFs running as cooperative or preemptive
multitasking processes, I'd really like to know the answer, but it
probably doesn't matter. The more I read and think about this, the
more it seems to me that Adobe has to prevent simultaneous reads
and writes to a single Shared Object from taking place, as one use
of it that I've read about is to share data between SWFs. For
example:

Are Cross Domain Flash Local Shared Objects (LSO aka Flash Cookie) possible

Hi,
I found several solutions for creating Flash LSOs from JavaScript (for example: http://www.nuff-respec.com/technology/cross-browser-cookies-with-flash )
If Page (www.hostA.com/index.html) and the .swf file are from the same site, everything works fine.
Now I'm trying to load the page form www.hostA.com/index.html, which includes www.hostB.com/flashcookie.swf (different sites). But then I cannot read or store the LSO.
I have tried several configurations (crossdomain.xml, Security.allowDomain("...") ), but nothing works.
Is this kind of cross domain access to a LSO possible?
Can a flash based advertisement delivered by a 3rd party save a LSO on my disc?
Thanks
-stephan

I 100% agree! We have an application that the Government requires information to be stored on the users computer as part of Multi-Factor-Authentication. We originally wrote it as a browser application and when everyone and their brother started deleting browser cookies because of security concerns, we totally re-wrote it as a Flash application to take advantage of permanent storage. This new "feature" in Flash Player is causing much concern because thousands of users will need to start answering lots of security questions every single time they use the application (ie: daily) and our staff is having to handle technical support questions that shouldn't exist. Right now it's only IE that's causing the issue, but I'm sure every browser and Internet Security program will soon be adding this to their products. There should at least be a way for the USER to white-list a specific Domain so Flash could exempt those sites from ANY external program trying to delete ALL Shared Objects/Local Storage/Flash Cookies. The USER should be given that choice. This would satisfy the extra privacy you are putting in there and still allow information to be stored from sites that require it.

Can no longer print to shared printer on mac running 10.5

We have an old G5 that we use to share a printer between various macs all running 10.9. I recently upgraded the G5 to 10.5 to see if that helped with some issues we had, but now that we can no longer print to the printer.
What I have done so far:
#1 Updated the printer drivers on both 10.5 & 10.9 macs.
#2 Reset printing System on both 10.5 & 10.9 macs.
#3 Readded the printer to the 10.5 Sys Pref > Print & Fax using actual driver
#4 Readded the printer to the 10.9 Sys Pref > Print & Fax
If I do the last step by using "Add printer or scanner" option...
...but use the Generic Postscript Driver I get: Looking for Printer > Connected to Printer > then the error "Stopped on server [G5's name] - No pages Found!". The job does appear on the G5 in the printer queue.
...but use the actual driver I get: Looking for Printer > Connected to Printer > then the error "Stopped on server [G5's name] - Unable to write uncompressed document data: Operati...". The job does appear on the G5 in the printer queue.
If I do the last step by selecting the printer under "Nearby Printers" I get "Unable to download the software from the server at his time".

There are some differences in sharing but it will work. I have a G4 that I use as a server, too.
First, tell me what printer model. There are driver differences, too.
At the heart, CUPS (the print control subsystem) uses IPP as the print sharing protocol. That part hasn't changed. So I recommend, for troubleshooting, setting up the printer on the client using IP printer > IPP protocol.
Here's a guide:
1) On the 10.5 print server, use a browser and point it at the CUPS admin web page athttp://localhost:631
Go to Printers list and find the queue name from the left side of the page next to the printer you want. Also note the IP address of the server Mac.
2) On a client, Add the printer as an IP printer > IPP protocol, and enter the IP address and queue name you noted above.
3) Select the generic postscript driver (on client Mac)
(after reading your second post, I want to remind you to set the server to use the correct driver.)
Finish and try it.

Upgraded to Yosemite, can no longer mount Mac shared folder on Windows 7 pc.

At the weekend I upgraded to Yosemite, and really liked the new look.
There is a folder on my mac which is shared over SMB so that it can be mounted as a network drive on a Windows 7 system. This has worked just fine for years, but then after the upgrade I found that I was no longer able to connect to the share. When I tried to remap the share it just kept asking me for password over and over again and failing to connect.
Windows could see the Mac was there in its workgroup, but not let me access it.
I tried on a Linux system, which could also see the Mac, but not mount the share.
After spending hours trying to figure this out, I wound up restoring my system from a backup made the day before.
Once I'd rolled back to Mavericks, the share worked just fine again.
Any ideas? Because if I can't map to this shared area on my Mac, then I can't upgrade to Yosemite.

IPad mini safari search bar changed to grey and can no longer clear history

What has happened? The panel in safari where you type in web addresses use to be white with black type now it's all grey with white type. It's awful. Also I used to be able to clear history but can no longer do this. Need this option as looking for Christmas presents and don't want kids to see.
Will be so grateful if anyone can get my ipad back how it was.

Are you referring to the new colors of iOS 7? If that's the case then there is no way to change it.
To clear your History:
1 Tap the Bookmark icon (the one next to the cloud and + icons.
2 Tap Bookmarks > Select History
3 Hit Clear (Notice the Clear icon at the bottom).
Hope this helps.

Where does flash stores the local shared object data

HI All,
I'm using shared object to store local data:
                var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal(storageName);
                // Store the data
                so.data.userName = userName;
                so.flush();
Where does it actually saved on my hard disk (in windows vista operating system).
10x,
Lior

The term local refers to the location of the shared object.
In this case, Adobe Flash Player stores the SharedObject file locally
in the client's home directory.
When you create a shared object, Flash Player creates a new
directory for the application and domain. It also creates an empty
*.sol file that stores the SharedObject data. The default location of
this file is a subdirectory of the user's home directory. On Windows,
this directory is the following by default:
c:/Documents and Settings/username/user_domain/Application Data/Macromedia/Flash Player/web_domain/path_to_application/ApplicationName/objectName.sol
If you request an application named MyApp.mxml on the local host, in the Flex context, and within a subdirectory named /sos, Flash Player stores the *.sol file in the following location on Windows:
c:/Documents and Settings/username/user_domain/Application Data/Macromedia/Flash Player/#localhost/flex/sos/MyApp.mxml.swf/objectName.sol
