I have created a Shared Object in "a.swf". I can read and write to it -no problem, but how do I access it from a movie "b.swf".

If in "b.swf" I use:

so = sharedobject.getLocal("savedPrefs");
myTextfield.text=so.data.thevar;

...Nothing happens!

Or when trying to indicate the path to the movie which created the SharedObject:

so = sharedobject.getLocal("savedPrefs","/dir/a.swf");
myTextfield.text=so.data.thevar;

-same result.

Anybody got this to work?

Again, I need to access my SharedObject not from the movie I created it in but from a DIFFERENT one.
Any help would be much appreciated
