I just finished a couple articles for ultrashock that are live today. I wrote one on SharedObjects. It starts by teaching all about them, including storing custom classes. Then a few sections on when to replace cookies with them...and when not to. And finally some fairly basic stuff on security and management. The other one I wrote is on FlashVars. Yes a whole article on the parameter that allows you to pass variables into Flash :). I spiced it up a bit with data conversion techniques since all you receive are strings.

Let me know any comments and questions of course.

FlashVars Article

PS The SharedObject article includes an example of a Code Snippet organizer with some basic features.

UPDATE: I updated the SharedObject article with a bit more information on storing custom classes.
