You can also use: mySO.flush() to force Flash to save the storedObject immediately - I know on FL I have to use this method to make sure data is saved - probably works better on desktop version of Flash. "Immediately writes a locally persistent shared object to a local file. If you don't use this method, Flash writes the shared object to a file when the shared object session ends--that is, when the SWF file is closed, that is when the shared object is garbage-collected because it no longer has any references to it or you call SharedObject.clear()."
