Under rating threshold (show) the code works fine but how do you tell it WHEN to write to the file? changing cash variable, closing the game, and restarting the game shows no data saved.

Under rating threshold (show) That code does not work in Flash AS2. copy paste brings syntax errors on line 2 and 3

Under rating threshold (show) Just a note to anyone who wants to just copy and paste this code and change the variable names. Check the left hand side of your code, make sure that you don't have a whole lot of spaces but actually a tab. You'll know if you get a syntax error.

Under rating threshold (show) AS2 is "technically" obsolete, but if you're anything other then a mainstream programming guru, it's easier to use AS2 then AS3. They're both Object Oriented, but AS2 is more natural.(Personal Opinion)

Under rating threshold (show) Well, I still use AS2 because Im still running on Flash MX 2004. I did have Flash CS4, but my computers in for repair so the old MX 2004 it is for a few months :)

Under rating threshold (show) Ah okay. And just for reference, I didn't know about it until I read your approach and though "hell, there has to be an easier way!" and did a bit of research ;-) ~Art

Under rating threshold (show) Meh, found this hard for myself when I tried to do this, so was unaware of the getSize() method. I will hopefully have more time tomorrow to finish off commenting the code. So I will update it hopefully.

Under rating threshold (show) Hm. Perhaps a bit of commenting in the actual source code? For example why the .flush() function is necessary. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the exists variable useless? I mean, to check if an object exists you could just use if(!saveData.getSize()). The size would return 0, which is equivalent to false, which gets negated to true, supplying the exact test you need. A good tutorial, but a bit more explaining of what is actually going on might help. ~Art
