I had been wondering how to use shared objects for a long time and thanks a million to this mini-tut: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/shared\_objects.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/shared_objects.htm)  
I know how. The only thing is it says that to clear a shared object, you must type (used in his example)

```auto
user_so.clear();

```

but what if i wanted to delete a certain block of data on it, for example I have the shared object user.  
And i don’t want to delete all of it, but just one block of data (specifically user.data.doc)

I tried

```auto
user.doc.clear();

```

and

```auto
user.data.doc.clear();

```

and neither worked, how would I do this?

~ Thanks in advance
