INI files for save game

[Drcooper]

I read a thread about using INI files to save games.
But it sounded like at present there is not a good way for a person playing a flash game to get an ini file saved to the harddrive while playing an internet game.

My question is, is anyone working on a "save game" extension that would save 1)the frame a person is in
2) the x and y coordinates of the player and 3)inventory a player has ???
(i'll bet not - but would it be possible to save and retrieve data from an ini file like this:

Frame #
x coor
y coor
global value A = 1 (patient has a sword)
global value B=1 (patient has a magic missle spell)
etc
etc

?

Thanks.

INI object works just fine in flash. All you have to do is enter a filename in the properties, with no path. EG "MyGameFile.ini"

Good to know LB...

Of course, tooling around in MMF2 I stumbled upon a "save game object" written by Fodo...
Looks like it will do what I am looking for...

Thx

Looks like you can jump to a frame based on a calculation; therefore, you can store a string called "Frame" in save game object and retrieve the value --- jump to frame (based on a calculation - retrieve value from ini file)

You can do all that you do in the Save Game object with INI, just takes more effort
