High scores and swf

I read in the help file that swf does not support storing high scores in ini files or with the high score object in the user's computer.

Is there a premade high score object supported by swf out there that saves the data?
If so, where can we get it?

Thanks

No you can use the INI and High score object.

The help says this:

INI and Hiscore objects
Flash does not allow the application to save data on the user's machine, but it allows the creation of small files (under 100kb) in a protected folder on the machine. INI files and Hi-scores files use this possibility. The files are saved in a folder on the user's machine, at the following address : Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects...

So you can save a limited amount of data -- High scores would certainly fit into this 100kb limit.

Sounds like a silly question... but have you tried the Mochi extensions?

.. or you use the playtomic-extension.. leaderboards are available! :)

Or the Get object and some php/mysql

Thanks for the recs guys - since I don't know HTML programming and all that, I may try Mochi or playtomic 1st...

Well, that's fine that you don't know HTML, as it's PHP you'd want to learn. But yeah, if you get involved with Mochi their scoreboards are good, I haven't seen Playtomic though so I am biased.

Hmm I'm confused about the mochi scores object.
I signed up for a mochi ID and got a game ID and made a leaderboard.
Then when I tried to make a swf build I got an error message.
Do I have to insert actionscript into the game or something?

Did you insert the Mochi Connector object onto the same frame than the Mochi Scores object?

You'll need your leaderboard id as well doc.
