Hi, Thanks very much for all the replies on this.
It seems much more complicate than I'd hoped, to achieve the voting and saving to file. I've downloaded Zinc and have been reading up on Shared Object but there don't seem to be any tutorials out there for someone like myself - 'newbie' level trying to achieve something advanced! May need to go back to the drawing board and not do in Flash.

If it's going to get quite complex though then AIR is definitely the way to go, you get SQLLite built in.
