You could use a Shared Object, if the data you're saving is pretty
simple. If it's going to get quite complex though then AIR is
definitely the way to go, you get SQLLite built in.

Adrian,
Flash can't write directly to a file when running in a browser.
If you run in a browser the only way to write to a file will be via
a server component.
You'll either have to use AIR and the AIR API to write the data away.
The other alternative is a technology such as Zinc to give you a
wrapper to access the local filesystem.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Saving user feedback to file
Hello,
I need to create a Flash movie that can save user feedback to a file.
The saving doesn't need to be very sophisticated but it does need
to be
very stable since it will be appearing in a public space and recording
(museum) visitor feedback.
There will be a number of objects, e.g. 10 objects and users will be
able to view information about each object and rate the object 1-5
(stars?), similar to You Tube. There won't be any cookies used
since it
will be appearing on one standalone kiosk so users may be able vote
more
than once.
I have no experience of saving user data with Flash and so any
pointers
and advise would be much appreciated. Can you easily save the votes
to a
CSV or other file?
Are there any good tutorials you'd recommend?
I'm short of time and out of my depth (haven't used Flash for a while
now)! Apologies if this should be in the newbie list. My Flash has
gone
back to newbie level but I guess this is a more advanced topic!
Many thanks,
Adrian
