Saving Flash Variables to a Textfile (not a flash cookie)

[edge07]

I am creating a game (.exe) using flash. I have all the necessary tools except that I don't have any idea on how I can save user data without using SharedObjects because the user might want to play on another computer using his saved game so there has to be a way for flash to save variables to a textfile (at least) in a specific location, relative to the location of the projector(.exe).

Or is there any of you who can point out cheap (or better free) alternatives (3rd party tools) for me to do this?

Thanks guys! :)

i believe flash 5 has this capablility. If you search the forms, I'm sure you'll find your answer.
