Is there a way to make a shared object that can be accessed by two different swf files on two different web pages? It works locally but when not when I upload the files to a server. How else can two swfs share information, without a database? I'm trying to have a settings panel on one page, and have all other flash files access the settings. Thanks!
A:
Check out the localPath parameter of SharedObject.getLocal():
The most permissive approach is to set localPath to / (slash), which makes the shared object available to all SWF files in the domain, but increases the likelihood of name conflicts with other shared objects in the domain.

That's what I tried initially, but the Shared Objects still can't be accessed by swfs in different locations. That works locally though.

that really should work as long as they are hosted by the same domain. do you have any examples of it not working?
