getLocal (SharedObject.getLocal method)

public static getLocal(name:String, [localPath:String], [secure:Boolean]) :
SharedObject
Returns a reference to a locally persistent shared object that is available only to the current
client. If the shared object does not already exist, this method creates one. This method is a
static method of the SharedObject class. To assign the object to a variable, use syntax like the
following:
var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("savedData")
If the user has selected to never allow local storage for this domain, the object is not
saved locally, even if a value for localPath is specified. The exception to this rule is local
content. Local content can always write shared objects from third-party domains
(domains other than the domain in the current browser address bar) to disk, even if
writing of third-party shared objects to disk is disallowed. .
