AS3 for ios : how to serialize an array and then save it
You need to use flash.net.registerClassAlias
.
So if I had a class like this:
package com {
public class Bob {
public var myArray:Array;
}
}
I could do this:
registerClassAlias("com.Bob", Bob);
Then you can save Bob class objects into your shared objects (or rather retrieve them again)
Full example:
//register the class - you only need to do this once in your class
registerClassAlias("com.Bob", Bob);
//Lets save a Bob instance into a shared object
var bob:Bob = new Bob();
bob.myArray = ["blah","blah","blah"];
var bobSO:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("Bob");
bobSO.data.bob = new Bob();
bobSO.flush();
//now at a later time, let's retrieve it
var bobInstance:Bob;
var bobSO:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("Bob");
if (bobSO.size > 0 && bobSO.data.bob && bobSO.data.bob != undefined) {
bobInstance = bobSO.data.bob;
}
Keep in mind, that you'll need to register ALL classes that are used (if you have different classes stored in your array).
