Hello World!

I am an amateur gamewrite (as the name implys). I have been hobbying away at an rpg (it's kinda neat, if I do say so myself). However, I have developed a incredible urge to make save files for the game.

My battleplan is to export the values of various variables to an external file (I'm thinkin' txt, though I am open to suggestions...).

my problem is that I have no idea how to do this. I have some idea that it has something to do with loadVariables() method, but I can't get it to work...:mad:

Help me please!!!

Thats what we are here for. If you dont understand something or cant figure out why something isnt working, ask away.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
i dont think you can write to a file on the client machine in flash, and still, it probably has to be a program

no not the client side of things, thats for the server..web security is based around the server-side and client-side being seperate.

Hmm...I am making a flash program that will be run through a Macintosh projector. I was hoping to have it be able to write to and read from a file on the computer. It sounds like this may not be possible. Any info would be great. I am using flash mx, by the way.

Thank you.

need to you a program like C, something like that, or use " Zinc" which is a rather nice product for what you are asking. it isn't too expensive either.

What about this example?

I am in the process of trying to figure out how it works, but it does seem to save things for later retrieval. Where does this info get saved? Are there any drawbacks?

Thanks again.
