How can I let user save own data to use next time?

[Sunny]

I'm putting together a cute little standalone flash "projector" app (on a CD) and want to make it so that a person can save data like their name or favorite color once...and be able to use this info each time they play without putting it in again. I'm finding easy answers in books & tutorials for most of my other questions, but I can't figure out whether or not Flash has this capability without needing XML or Perl or Java or something else I don't know either!!! Thanks in advance for any helpful input!!!

Since the project is running from a CD you could (on Windows PCs) save a small data file using the save fscommand (search for info on these forums, there's heaps), but that would ONLY work on Windows PCs... The only alternative would be to ensure the user was connected to the 'net, then you could have a centralized database. But you'd have to know about databases.
