Question

I have a SharedObject in which I’m saving some data in a flash app. I’m trying to remove some saved data but it doesn’t work.

trace(delete(localData.data[key]));

The delete command returns true, but when I reload the data it looks it was not deleted.

As of now the best solution was to “localData.clear();” all the data and then to save it without the fields I want to remove.

You need to call the flush() method to “commit” your changes:

Immediately writes a locally persistent shared object to a local file.
If you don’t use this method, Flash Player writes the shared object to
a file when the shared object session ends — that is, when the SWF
file is closed, when the shared object is garbage-collected because it
no longer has any references to it, or when you call
SharedObject.clear() or SharedObject.close().
