Sharedobject Won't Delete

[davedev066]

I create a sharedobject in Adobe AIR 2.6 on Mac OS 10.6 using Flash Professional CS 5.5. For testing, I'd like to delete the object manually from disk. When I go here:

Macintosh HD:Users:<username>:Library:Preferences:Macromedia:

Flash Player:#SharedObjects:

I find a folder with a random name, but when I delete it, the sharedobject with its values still appear in my app. So, this doesn't seem like the actual location of the sharedobject. Where is the location of sharedobjects on Mac OS X for Adobe AIR.

delete from both:

~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects

~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/

or, even faster, clear your so using flash.

Thanks for the reponse. I poked around some more and for Adobe AIR desktop application found the shared object here:

/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/<appname>/Local Store/#SharedObjects/<swfname>.swf/<sharedobjectname>.sol

you'll find it will speed development to create a clear so button in your project instead of deleting files.

Thanks. That's a good idea. I do have a scheme to clear it through a config file flag. I was lookng for a way though too for QA testers to be able to easily and obviously clear it i.e. return things to their initial state.

sounds good.
