hi

can you help me in saving data using shared object?

I want to save the username entered in the textfield through shared object. When an other user enters the same username it should show an message as “user name already exists”.

How do I go for it?

I have attached source files along with this mail for your reference. Please download it and loot at it.

Thanking you,  
Prathap
