Encrypted local store corrupted

Question

When using the ADL to run my HTML based application I can store data in the encrypted local store fine. When the app is packaged and installed, I can set and retrieve data from the local store the first time the application is run. If I then close down the application and start it up again, accessing the ELS throws an error.
I've found information on various sites about how some AIR developers get their user base to overcome such issues but surely this isn't the way forward. Is their a fundamental bug with the ELS in Adobe Air or can anyone help point me in the right direction so I can rectify this problem.

Answer 1

Joe,
Thanks very much for responding. I have now added the stronglyBoung argument when setting data in the ELS although this was not causing the problem. I did however, fail to copy my pre-populated database from the application directory to the application storage directory which meant that I was indeed changing the database file in the application directory at runtime....doh!
When developing, my database was stored in the application directory which of course did not produce any unexpected results.
var database = {};
database.dbFileName = 'lizard.db';
database.dbFile =  air.File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(database.dbFileName);
So, now I have changed the database file to the application storage directory and then copy a pre-populated template database over if this file does not exist:
var database = {};
database.dbFileName = 'lizard.db';
database.dbFile = air.File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath(database.dbFileName);
if (!database.dbFile.exists) {
    var dbTemplate =  air.File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(database.dbFileName);
     dbTemplate.copyTo(database.dbFile, true); 
Thanks very much for your help and pointing out where I could be going wrong - much appreciated.
