| I'm new to this whole SSAS stuff and I'm not sure if this should be a
coders list question so I apologize...
I'm trying to build a little SO to contain some weak user stats so I
can say something like "You were here last on <date>":
this.users_log.lock()
this.my_log={username:name};
this.users_log.setProperty(name, this.my_log);
this.users_log.unlock();
.... I add the <date> from within the flash client app. It all works
but the data object is lost when the user reloads. Why is that? The
SO is persistent so I figured it would stick, and I assume that if I
define it on the SS then that would surely reset it.
I could store it locally but that's not the point, I'm trying to learn
SS and SO's this week... 
Sincerely,
Simon

| Simon,
Your date should be included in the object you assign to the SO slot.
Ultimately whether you send it from the Client or define it on the
server its the same remote SO slot therefore you should have something
like so from the client side.
Maybe you retrieve the SO slot values first
var tempName:String = clientSO.data.name[username];
var myclientObj:Object = {username:tempName, date: thedate}
users_log.data.theClientName = myclientObj;
or something of like that

| Slightly adjusted.
Maybe you retrieve the SO slot values first
//@param theClientName: the name of the logged user
var tempName:String = clientSO.data[theClientName[username]];
var myclientObj:Object = {tempName:tempName, date: thedate}
if (theClientName == tempName)
users_log.data.theClientName = myclientObj;
or something of that nature

That's what I'm doing. And they are returned to me with a value of
undefined.
SS:
this.users_log.lock()
// --------------------------------
// notice I only define the username here (because it's constant)
this.my_log={username:name};
this.users_log.setProperty(name, this.my_log);
this.users_log.unlock();
CS:
users_log = SharedObject.getRemote("users_log", nc.uri, true);
users_log.onSync = onSyncLog;
users_log.owner = this;
users_log.connect(nc);
.... onSynclog runs off and populates the datagrid with *just* usernames
as expected.
So far so good. But now I want to add the date to the SO, so I run the
following from the client side:
users_log.data[val].lastVisit = _root.enterDate;
.... this works great until the user leaves. When they come back and I
try to read the lastVisit slot for that user it's undefined, and
because it's undefined it gets set to the current date. I thought it
may have something to do with the fact that on the SS I don't actually
define lastVisit, IE:
this.my_log={username:name, lastVisit:client.lastVisit};
.... but I tried that and it still returns undefined and refuses to keep
the date the client side supplied to it earlier (but works fine for the
period they are logged in). I'm trying not to save this info locally
because the manual says the local info can be wiped if the user resets
their cache settings. So while there is an option for me here I would
rather discover why I can't store an SO written from the client to the
server and retrieve it later.

| It's definately something on the server side. If users leave, any NEW
viewer can see their correct last visit date. It's only when you
RE-ENTER that your data gets wiped.
Hope that narrows things down. I'm a little worn out at this point...
:P

To be clearer, if I leave the room and YOU enter you would see my last
visit date. If I come back then the lastVisit slot goes undefined for
myself AND everyone's datagrid cell containing my last visit date goes
blank. So I can't tell *you* when you were there last, works great when
you leave tho... :P

| Sorry for the noise, takes time for things to sink in....
Ok, so I commented out some code on the SS which appears to have been
resetting things to null (things which were declared on the CS and not
onConnect SS):
// this.users_log.lock()
// this.my_log={username:name};
// this.users_log.setProperty(name, this.my_log);
// this.users_log.unlock();
.... now it seems to work. Black magic. Probably be busted when I wake
up in the morning... ;)
