apppath?

[GGG]

I just got the flash exporter and I'm working on a game but I guess flash doesnt like Apppath$, is a different way to do the same thing that Apppath$ does but in flash??

Why would you need to use AppPath$ in flash? What for?

Flash seems to store using cookies. If you just want to save some values and such you don't need to set a path.

ok I think I think I stated the question wrong, how can i save data with flash, like temp files

Only the INI object can do that as of now. Just give it a filename but no path.

I have a similar problem, I'm thinking of converting one of my old projects to Flash but in some cases I'm using Apppath to set different backgrounds and cutscenes, like this:

.Condition
+Set up the Animation Object (create, position on screen, make visible etc)
+Set Active Picture to filename(apppath + "background img" + Random(3)+1 + ".png")

.Condition
+Set up the Animation Object (create, position on screen, make visible etc)
+Set Animation object to filename(apppath + "cutscene" + sequence + ".gif")

Is there an easy way to do it so the Flash exporter likes it? I know how to do it the hard way (convert the Active Picture to a big Counter and show it's values randomly, have a few Animation Objects one for each cutscene) but I hope there's an easier method...

Flash Applications should be standalone for a web browser. All content should be contained inside the SWF, with the exception of save files which the INI obejct uses cookies to save data with.
