ORIGINAL: flsg saraid: Flash itself can't save things, you need to learn a server-side language exemple: ASP, PHP, JSP, ColdFusion, etc ASP is the simplest PHP is simple and secure JSP is the hardest but the most secure I don't know about ColdFusion you'll also need a database system exemple: Access, SQL, mySQL, etc and you must learn the SQL language too making a real game isn't easy, you know OK, notice i said within Flash, I was talking about saving things locally. I already know I need to learn some form of server-side language if I wish player position etc to be saved to a server, [8|]makes sense doesn't it? and I'm already in the process of learning PHP. Also, a database file is not necessary so I will not need to learn SQL language at all, information can be saved into something as simple as a txt document, SQL is simply an extremely helpful alternative that allows a more organized and user-friendly approach, but is by no means 'essential'. It would appear your post was misguided as there is a way to save data locally using flash's Shared Objects function. Thanks to a few helpful people from a different forum I know understand this feature and my problem is resolved. Also, I find your closing comment patronising and un-called for. I have dedicated time and effort into learning as many programming languages as possible, C and C++, Basic, Pascal, HTML and I am fully aware of the dificulties one might encounter when trying to code something as complex as a game, simply because I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to Actionscript does not give you the right to patronise me in such a way. I would like to see what 'real' games you've made as I'm curious as to what your definition of 'real' is in this context.
