Saving data locally to file

[phr4nkie]

Hello,

I have been asked to write a program using flash in which the user will input data. I need to save and store this data locally to the computer, as well as retrieve it later.

This all has to be done locally example (C:/Program Files/Misc/Database), no online database is too be used. I was just wondering if this is possible and if so, if any body can help me out answering this. This project needs to be a self-contained software app that will be burned on cd then installed on the users computer. The user will be using the software and updating information that will need to be saved (this part I do not need help with).

Is the part about storing and retrieving data locally on the users computer possible.


Thanks

See SharedObject class in Flash MX+ help ...

you can use SharedObject but the path is limited to something like documentsandsetings/userName/BlaBla

some 3rd party projector tools can also write to normal text file where ever you want
but i not use them so no idea which one
