This tutorial will teach you how to make text be saved and loaded.


Save and Load Functions

Open the main timeline actions. Create a function called "setCookie(c, n, v)" (c = Cookie, n = Name, v = Variable). Under that put "var so = SharedObject.getLocal(c);". Then under that put "so.data[n] = v;". Finally under that put "so.flush();".

So far it should look like this:

function setCookie(c,n,v) {
var so = SharedObject.getLocal();
so.data[n] = v;
so.flush();
};

Now make another function called "getCookie(c,n)" (c = Cookie, n = Name). Under that assign "var so = SharedObject.getLocal();". Then under that put "return so.data[n];".

The functions should look like this:

function setCookie(c,n,v) {
var so = SharedObject.getLocal(c);
so.data[n] = v;
so.flush();
};
function getCookie(c,n) {
var so = SharedObject.getLocal(c);
return so.data[n];
};

Make a input text field called "text". Make a save button and a load button.

In the save button actions put:

on (release) {
_root.setCookie("vars","text",_root.text);
}

In the load button actions put:

on (release) {
_root.text = _root.getCookie("vars","text");
}

If this is done right it will save the text you type and load the text that was type last time text was saved.
