The following example sets data in the shared object, and then empties all of the data from the
shared object:
var my_so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("superfoo");
my_so.data.name = "Hector";
trace("before my_so.clear():");
for (var prop in my_so.data) {
trace("\t"+prop);
}
trace("");
my_so.clear();
trace("after my_so.clear():");
for (var prop in my_so.data) {
trace("\t"+prop);
}
