Client-Side ActionScript Language Reference
Parameters
None.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; for local shared objects, purges all the data from the shared object and deletes the
shared object from the disk. The reference to
my_so
is still active, but
my_so
data
properties
are deleted.
For remote shared objects, this method disconnects the object and purges all the data; if the
shared object is locally persistent, the method also deletes the shared object from the disk. The
reference to
my_so
is still active, but
my_so
data
properties are deleted.
Example
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);
}
This ActionScript displays the following message in the Output panel:
before my_so.clear():
name
after my_so.clear():
SharedObject.close()
