124 Client-Side ActionScript Language Reference
For a remote shared object, calling SharedObject.flush() in the client-side ActionScript
file flushes the object only on the client, not the server. The following example shows how a
server-side script can flush a remote shared object on the server:
// This is a SERVER-SIDE script, not ActionScript.
// Get the shared object when the application is loaded.
application.onAppStart = function(){
application.my_so = SharedObject.get("SharedObjName", true);
}
// When a user disconnects, flush the shared object.
application.onDisconnect = function(client){
application.my_so.flush();
}
/* You can also set a timer to periodically flush the shared object
onto the hard disk on the server. */
application.onAppStart = function(){
application.my_so = SharedObject.get("SharedObjName", true);
setInterval(function() { application.my_so.flush(); }, 60000);
}

Usage
SharedObject.getLocal(name [, localPath][, secure])
Parameters
name A string value that represents the name of the object. The name can include forward
slashes (
/); for example, work/addresses is a legal name. Spaces are not allowed in a shared
object name, nor are the following characters:
~ % & \ ; : " ' , < > ? #
NOTE
The correct syntax is SharedObject.getLocal(). To assign the object to a variable, use
syntax like
var myLocal_so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal(objectName).
