It all depends how much you are saving and what type of data. If I am just saving a few settings, then I make myself an ini file and use BuddyApi and it's ini functions:- That's really good as you don't have to go through the hassle of fileIO and opening and closing files etc.
If the data is more complex, I use XML files to save data and references to externally saved images. This is much better if you want to save lists of varying sizes etc. There's a fair amount of preference involved as well, and obviously, having buddyAPI for doing the ini in that method. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Colin Holgate Sent: 16 February 2005 14:09 To: Lingo programming discussion list Subject: Re: <lingo-l> saveProjector While BuddyAPI, FileIO, and Setpref/getpref may help, it's possible to launch a projector, make changes within a movie (even bitmap changes), and have that saved. The limitation is that the movie needs to be external, and probably a .DIR. In your projector, just do a go movie "whatever", and when you want to save any changes, just do a savemovie.
