Flash Shared Object (or ‘Flash cookie’) tool (Utilities)

This file lets you store any variable into a shared object (also called a ‘flash cookie’) which is saved on the computer on which the file is opened. When the browser is refreshed, the shared object will remember it’s data again.

To store a value in the shared object, type something in the textfield and press ‘Write Shared Object’.
Now refresh the page and click ‘Read Shared Object’; the stored data is shown.
To erase the shared object click ‘Clear Shared Object’.

Possible uses:
– an email-form remembers certain parameters (like address, city etc.) when a user returns to your site later on.
– remember a user when he returns to your website.

Code for multiple variables is included in the enclosed readme file.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
