Delete a SharedObject

Author: Guy Watson More by this author


Having problems removing SharedObjects from the users local computer? here are two easy to use methods that take the hassle out of clearing them permanently...

To delete a SharedObject from the local computer, you must firstly delete all of the properties contained inside the data object of the SharedObject instance and then you must flush the SharedObject instance, here are the methods that will do that for you. Inherited Method:

SharedObject.prototype.delete=function(){
for(var i in this.data){
delete this.data[i]
}
this.flush()
}

Usage:

so=SharedObject.getLocal("fg");
so.data.prop1="blah blah"; //add property
so.data.prop2="blah blah 2"; //add another property
so.flush() //now saved to a local .sol files
so.delete() //now delete them all again

Static Method:

SharedObject.delete=function(name){
var so=SharedObject.getLocal(name)
for(var i in so.data){
delete so.data[i]
}
so.flush()
}

Usage:

so=SharedObject.getLocal("fg");
so.data.prop1="blah blah"; //add property
so.data.prop2="blah blah 2"; //add another property
so.flush() //now saved to a local .sol files
SharedObject.delete("fg"); //delete them all again
