copied!<p>Look at the <a href="http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/SharedObject.html" rel="nofollow"><code>SharedObject</code></a> class; particularly its <a href="http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/SharedObject.html#data" rel="nofollow"><code>data</code></a> property.</p> <p>Essentially:</p> <ol> <li><p>Define a <code>SharedObject</code> like so:</p> <p><code>var saveData:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("MyGame");</code></p></li> <li><p>Use the <code>data</code> property to store information which will be accessible the next time you open the application. It's important to note that the data will only be retained if the <code>.swf</code> remains in the same location, either on the web or locally.</p> <p><code>if(!saveData.data.test)</code> <br />     <code>saveData.data.test = "Test string";</code></p></li> <li><p>You'll be able to access the information you've stored in the <code>data</code> object as expected:</p> <p><code>trace(saveData.data.test); // Test string</code></p></li> </ol> <p>The idea is that initially you'll create all of the properties that you may want to save when the game launches for the first time:</p> <pre><code>if(!saveData.data.ready) { saveData.data.ready = true; saveData.data.playerHealth = 100; saveData.data.levelsUnlocked = 1; } </code></pre> <p>And when you hit "save", overwrite these properties:</p> <pre><code>function save(so:SharedObject):void { so.data.playerHealth = player.health; so.data.levelsUnlocked = currentLevel; } </code></pre>
