Creating a Killer Flash Site - Update 6: Form Caching

Published May 12th, 2007 in: ActionScript 3, Flash

One thing I find problematic with forms, is that they don't usually cache my input. Lets say you were writing a comment on some blog, and your browser crash or hangs - your comment is gone! You will have to write the whole thing over again, if you still can remember it that is...

With the actionscripts Local SharedObject we can make a cache function to store user input continually. So if the browser crash, or the user accidently leaves the page, we now have a backup that we can use to restore the user input. Supercool!

I first used this type of cache back in 2004, when I developed an application for The National Tests in Mathematics here in Norway.
