writing to local shared object for multiple users

[sagra29]

Hi,

Ok my problem is this : I'm working to create a set of learning modules that are to be delivered via CD (hopefully on a site later on). For the pilot version of these learning modules what I would like to do is have and entrance screen whereby a user enters their 1st name and sirname and then it saves a file locally (I believe using local shared objects) if they have not used the app before. The general idea is that at the end of each module there will be a quiz and I would like the results to be saved, ie pass or fail or incomplete.

It seems to work ok for just one user on one comp, but is it possible to have different users on the same comp and save the names and quiz results of each. I had thought perhaps that the local shared object could be saved with the users name??? Or would I perhaps need to create a user object and then attach that to the local shared object???

Any help offered would be greatly appreciated - even if you can just tell me if its possible,

Many thanks:)

shared objects are stored in a users local directory. If each user has their own OS profile/login, they will have separate shared objects. If they are using the same profile you would have to manage the difference between users yourself (given a name or email address or something each user would identify themselves with)

:) Yes I am looking to create it based on the user entering their name into the flash file. Thats great, I just wanted to know that it was possible, now I can get to work on trying to figure out how to do it.

Thanks for your reply
