string stored in shared object on media server

[seantuk]

i'm new to media server, so it's just a simple noob question.

i'd like store a string in a persistant shared object using media server. i don't really know what the limitations of media server are, but it sounds like it should be quite simple. i guess i'm looking for something like:

////on load
//create shared object
//make persistent
//get stored string if it's there


////on update string
//set string


any help would be much appreciated.
