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
