Flash -- text files

[djr33]

Ok, I will definitely look into this.

I'd actually prefer external files; I think. You think cookies would work? I could save them with whatever text I wanted, whereever I wanted?

The first one sounds cool... checking it out now.
But... when you close the flash file, where does it keep the information? Does it go away when closed (like you can reload all you want til it's closed, but then it's gone after reopening) or does it save it into the flash file itself, or does it save it in a cookie/external file?
It also appears to use cookies... but maybe as a way to save text files?

Yes, I think you could use cookies.

Take the last one for example.. sure it is a high score file.. but you can use the INSERT to insert what ever lines of info you wanted.

You also tell the file to be created and where. So instead of using:

_global.domain+file.name

you would just put something like:

C:/savefile/+filename

I am guessing that the others will work similarly as well.

Also, on the flashkit forum They have a "newbies" section.

Disreguard that it is a newbies section, the moderator there AsktheGeezer is very talented with almost every aspect of Flash and I am sure he can get something working in a matter of minutes.

Good Luck with that!

Well, thanks a lot.
i've looked at it some more, but I'm pretty busy; I'll test it out later today. I'm sure something will work.
