Has anybody tried the SharedObject yet? There seems to be a problem with it. Not everybody can use it apparently. It should create a .sol file, but it doesn’t always do that. ☹

I was trying to create a poll in FlashMX, and used the SharedObject to save if a user had already voted. But some can vote over and over again… :-\

Here is a handy tutorial:

However, if u was trying to search for other methods, try that one:
