Flash Offline App, What's the best way to track data?

[chrisflynn]

Hi all

I've been tasked to find a way to create a strictly offline app, that still tracks a user's progress through the app, even after they turn it off and back on again.

There's 2 issues that I can see already, and I'm not sure what's the best solution for either.

1) Interacting with a local, offline database, which I suppose is doable, but I can see issues here with Flash's security pop ups. Is there a way around these? Particularly if you're offline?

2) Flash doesn't allow you to write data to file at all, correct? It never did in the past, but I'm not sure if it does in CS3 (Even if it does, I can still see security issues with this as well).

What about Adobe Air, does this require online content, or can you track things locally with it offline?

Any help is always appreciated.

Thanks again
Chris

I have always used zinc to create a projector and that adds the ability to write to a text file.
Not sure if that is good info for you or not....lol
