How about using Buddy API to write an INI file to the
hard disk? I use this all the time to store user
specific data. You can create a simple format like
this:
[Lessons]
lesson1=1 (1 means completed)
lesson2=1
lesson3=
lesson4=
at start up use:
baReadIni("lessons","lesson1",error msg,path to INI)
This will return the value of lesson1 which you can
put in a variable. When the user logs out, just
update the INI using baWriteIni. Buddy API is a must
have Xtra for any serious Director programmer who
needs to run system functions.
Hope this helps,
Dennis Acton
