Arrays in Flash Games

[nivram]

Unfortunatly i cannot share the file i have been working on
But im more than happy to create a simple example of how a MMF2 Flash App can store values to, and read from an Array
Its pretty straight forward actually

But righ now however, i need to get some sleep

Hi King_Cool. Have you gotten enough sleep to make the example?

If not, for anyone else...I would like to see an example.

Thanks,

Marv

Yes this is what I mean. In Flash, only the name and extension component of pathname is used. The files are saved in a folder located deep in the system drive (%APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\ for Vista).

Is "%APPDATA%" a folder?
If so where is it located?

Hi King_Cool. First go into the Control Panel > Folder Options > View. Then check Show Hidden Files, Folders and Drives.

Then go to Users > Marv (or whatever your computer name is) > AppData > Roaming >

I am looking intoo this folder now, but i cant see any Array anywhere.
All i see is 1 cryptic folder, which contains alot of other 'site specific' folders.

I am using Windows 7.
Where specifically should the Flash Array be located?
I need to locate it before ic an include it in binary data.

Try:
Users > Marv (computer name) > AppData > Roaming >

There are other Company and Softwre folders here, including a MMFApplications folder.
Inside are 3 ini files ( a click converse file, and 2 other game related files ), but no array files at all.

Ok, just checking. So, then I don't know. In fact I didn't know you could even use the array with the SWF exporter, as I stated before. Just for giggles try win32 or WoW folders.

OK so
- I made a simple MMF2 Flash Application which writes 9 to an Array and saves it as TestArray.arr
- I then searches for TestArray.arr in Window
- Windows finda a file "TestArray.arr.sol" in the Applications folder
- However if i manually open the Application folder, no such file exists

I allways thought Array files had the .arr extencion

What is a .sol file?
Is the .sol file my Array file?
Why is the .sol file not visible to me?
