Getting the Save Feature to work when posted on a website

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    So I'm going to post the game I'm about finished with to Newgrounds, and have been fatally putting off figuring out how to get the save feature to work properly.

    I have it working fine on my own computer. You grab a glowing "S", and it jots down all the important values, and saves them in a particular folder on my PC.

    Of course, no one else has this folder with the exact same name. So how do I make the file go to a particular, safe place no matter what computer is being used?

    I know this is a very simplistic question to a probably pretty complicated situation, but I'd like to just get some basic info. I WILL be studying up on it as well of course, I just wanted to put this here to speed up the process if someone knows something.

    wrong forum. If you're creating the game on newgrounds, is it a flash game? In this case you won't be saving the data in some specific directory on the users computer, this data will be saved automatically by Fusion (I can't remember where, into their cookie data or as a .sol in some semi-protected area of their computer I believe)

    You should just do a quick test, just save the files name without a path, Fusion should handle the rest automatically. I'm pretty sure there is a place on newgrounds you can upload swf's etc. to test before you release them to the public.

    Also for the record, I did think about which forum to put this on for like a good half minute. Because "technical support" always comes off to me as "there's some flaw in the system" or whatever, and not "how do I do a thing?" so I looked for three seconds at the thread titles here and I was like "hmm, well sounds close enough".

    I've posted correctly every other time, I'm just way too distracted right now
