Saving High Scores and Data

[Kimchee]

I need a clear explanation of how to do a highschore leader board, maybe saved to an external html.

I also need an explanation of how to have the user play a game on their computer and save information so they can load previously played game data.

Maybe a hefter order so if say please will it help? :)


Thanks guys...

Holy cow that is easy! I have been creating password enabled features for unlocked specials. Now I will just use this to achieve the same thing but allow people to save their progress! Nice, thanks!

Do these work with AS3?

Another question, is there a way to save the game in a more permanent manner, as I assume this save will get deleted when the user clears his temporary internet cache or something.

1)in flash 10 you can write to a file.
2) On all versions, for web saving, you can store to a database!
3) Learn AIR for more options!

Cool, you mean you can write to a local file, I thought Flash restricted writing to local files due to security reasons or something.
