Hello all,

I have set the amount of data that my SharedObject can store to none, and Never Ask Again. But I cannot get SharedObject.flush() to return false as per the help system. Settings changed here:

[http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings\_manager03.html](http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html)

```auto

stop();

var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("myObj", "/");

// trap SharedObject memory limit set to 0

var test = so.flush();

if (test == false){
    getURL("javascript:alert('Memory set to 0');");
}

trace (test); // true

```

Interestingly, I’ve tried passing bytes to the flush call. flush(1024) returns true, flush(2048) returns true while flush(10000000000) does actually return false!

Any ideas? I’d like to get this up today…
