Use a Shared Object in a game to store pairs player_name - player

Question

If I want to use a Shared Object in a game for a local
computer to store
pairs player_name - player_score (a string and a number) what
would be the
best approach to push the data in and retrieve them out as a
table?
Flash Help says that the properties created in a SO can
enumerated in a
for..in loop - how do I use this?
