Adobe AIR - saving local data

Question

I would like to store the variables in an encrypted local store. This example works, but how to expand it to save more than 1 variable?

// To save variable to ELS (EncryptedLocalStore) function saveItems() { var m1:String = "my item 1"; // HOW TO ADD THESE?: // var m2:String = "my item 2"; // var m3:String = "my item 3"; // var m4:String = "my item 4"; // var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); bytes.writeUTFBytes(m1); EncryptedLocalStore.setItem("item1", bytes); } // Read it from ELS function getItems() { var storedValue:ByteArray = EncryptedLocalStore.getItem("item1"); // trace(storedValue.readUTFBytes(storedValue.length)); } 

Thanks.

Rinse and repeat what you already have and avoid code duplication by moving common functions to your own methods:

 private function saveItems():void { var m1:String = "my item 1"; var m2:String = "my item 2"; var m3:String = "my item 3"; var m4:String = "my item 4"; saveItem("item1", m1); saveItem("item2", m2); saveItem("item3", m3); saveItem("item4", m4); } private function saveItem(key:String, value:String):void { var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); bytes.writeUTFBytes(value); EncryptedLocalStore.setItem(key, bytes); }
