Keeping Track of Clicks with Shared Object

I’m trying to write a function that keeps a running count whenever a button is clicked - and then writes the count to a Shared Object cookie. Here’s the code:


function counterVar() {
    var elemSharedObject:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("elementChoices", "/");
    countClicks = elemSharedObject.data.itemCount;
    if (elemSharedObject.data.itemCount == 'undefined' || '' || 'NaN') {
        elemSharedObject.data.itemCount = 1;
        elemSharedObject.flush();
        countClicks = 1;
    } else {
        countClicks++;
        elemSharedObject.data.itemCount = countClicks;
        elemSharedObject.flush();
    }
}

And the button code looks like this:


function click(bt:Object):Void {
    if (bt.target == table_mc.p1_bt) {
        var elemArray:Array = new Array(_root.p1, _root.i1, _root.e1, _root.en1);
        var elemArrayName = "elemArray_" + _root.countClicks;
        storeData(elemArrayName,elemArray);
        //Alert.show("You've added " + _root.i1 + " to the cart");
        counterVar();
    } //else if...
}

Everytime it runs the count gets reset to “1”, endlessly. Obviously the logic is flawed. Can anyone help out here?
