Hi,
I'm making a game which saves player accomplishments. I'm using the INI object to do so.
It works great when built for IOS and PC, but when I make a Flash build and run it in my browser, nothing is saved to or loads from the INI.
What am I doing wrong? Does the INI file require a certian name? There's no path...
suggestions?
Give it a name anyname.ini (change anyname with anything you want, I think it works with any extension different than ini but not 100% sure) don't provide any path and the "Create INI file in Application Data folder" must be checked.
Make a new MMF file just to test if it is or it is not working and try to isolate the problem.
I'm using gamedata.ini and I do have "Create INI file in Application Data folder" checked...it Works in all build types EXCEPT for when I make and run the Flash build.
it is necessary to host the html and flash files online and run from the net for the ini to work in the Flash build?
No, it also works on localhost. I don't check "Create INI file in Application Data folder" and have no problems.Quote:

Is the Flash ini not saving/loading or are you just confused, because you can't find the file? It's created in Adobes very own format as a temporary file.
How can I be confused? Either the game is showing the acheivements or it is not... it is either not saving, or not loading or both. It works fine in any other build type I've tried.
I'm not looking for the file, I'm palying the game and observing that clearly it is not sucessfully saving or retrieving ANY information.
Can you try with a simple blank application, and one value in the INI?
Francois,
It's the same App which I just sent you the MFA file for in a private message. Could you try building and running it for flash and see if if its working... if there's no music at the start of the game and at all frames then the INI is not sucessfully working.
No matter what we hav a situation where it works fine on PC, on run frame, on IOS build, but NOT in flash... so ev en if I figure out whats causing the issue for Flash, its still compensating for the fact that there's a diference with how INI works in Flash... No one knows of any diference?
INI data under the Flash runtime is saved in a Local shared object (aka LSO). I know that it is possible for a user to disable the use of LSO per application/website. You should check that your app is allowed to save data via the Global Storage Settings panel of the online Settings Manager (right-click on the app).
