Parameters
None.
Returns
A numeric value specifying the size of the shared object, in bytes.
Description
Method; gets the current size of the shared object, in bytes.
Flash calculates the size of a shared object by stepping through each of its data properties; the
more data properties the object has, the longer it takes to estimate its size. For this reason,
estimating object size can have significant processing cost. Therefore, you may want to avoid
using this method unless you have a specific need for it.

my_so.data.itemNumbers = items_array;
my_so.data.adminPrivileges = currentUserIsAdmin;
my_so.data.userName = currentUserName;
my_so.data.itemNumbers = items_array;
my_so.data.adminPrivileges = currentUserIsAdmin;
my_so.data.userName = currentUserName;
var soSize:Number = my_so.getSize();
