So I'm developing this flash project and I need to use SharedObjects, I write out all the scripts and go to test it out and it's completely invisible (nothing works), I troubleshoot it for like 4 hours and nothing still... so I get super pissed (not really) and check it out on a PC in the office and it works! wtf?! So I try on another mac in the office.. it works?! wtff?!?

So after trying everything possible (if you can think of it I probably tried it) I had an epiphany.

My root drive (n8z//Core) had '//' (backslash) in the name..
so, take out the backslashes and....

Now it works perfect. Apparently flash has a problem addressing it's preference file to write and read the SOL's when there are non-alpha/numericals in your root partitions name. Working in Classic only, haven't tried it in X yet- I'm sure the problem is in X also. (Hello Macromedia?!_)

very frustrating at the time.. hope it saves someone some grief.

maybe a good addition to an FAQ somewhere.

This is why I never name my drives with weird characters, it just screws up badly programmed applications. But thanks for the heads up anyway. FlashMX on osx is the biggest pile of crap needing an update desperately program in existence.
