iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

Delete Flash Cookies

Flash cookies (aka MX Shared objects) are a new feature that allows websites to store information on the clients machine the same way as browser cookies would and retrieve it at a later time. An example of a suitable application for Shared objects data could be to remember the user's name, the number of the level he last played in a game,his highscore or anything else you can imagine.

Flash cookies are not deleted when you erase your browser cookies or use the iMacros CLEAR command!

Flash cookies are stored in .sol files located in the Flash player directory of the user's profile, example: "C:/Documents and
Settings/Administrator/ApplicationData/Macromedia/Flash Player", and have their own format.

You can delete them either by deleting these files, or you can use the iMacros WINCLICK command to open the Flash Player settings and select the "delete" buttons. This method has the advantage that the cookies are erased immediately (no browser restart required).
