I am doing a mp3 player like a Winamp :sc:

I can get names and urls of droped files.Then I use Sound class to play them. There is no problem.

But when user close my player and open again, the files must be on the list… I thought to use Shared Objects.

This my droped file code:  
[AS]  
var file\_list:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal(“files”);  
d = e.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.FILE\_LIST\_FORMAT) as Array;  
file\_list.data.sounds = d.toString();[/AS]

You see it is array.No problem here.Then my first codes:  
[AS]  
var file\_list:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal(“files”);  
if (file\_list.data.sounds!=null) {  
d=file\_list.data.sounds.split(“,”)  
trace(d);  
}[/AS]

In output:

```auto
[object File],[object File],[object File],[object File]

```

Yes you think there is no problem.But yes there is ☹ I can’t get the files names or urls.The error like this:

> TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert “[object File]” to flash.filesystem.File.
