SharedObject.getSize( ) Method Flash 6

returns the size of the SharedObject, in bytes
theSharedObj.getSize()

Returns

The integer size of theSharedObj, in bytes.

Description

The getSize( ) method returns the total byte size of all the properties of theSharedObj.data. When requesting an increase in the local storage setting for a domain, the getSize( ) method can be used to tell the user exactly how much space is required by a movie (see the Example for SharedObject.flush( )). To convert bytes to kilobytes (KB), divide by 1024:

soKB = Math.floor(theSharedObj.getSize() / 1024);

The more properties theSharedObj.data has, the longer getSize( ) takes to execute.
