Question

Hey there, i was wondering what the AS3 experts would do to perform this task: save user data (registry form) locally, and then be able to read it or export it into something client can read.

Thanks in advance, i am quite new to the AS3 approach to this things, thing to notice is this project is pure AS3, and deployed in Adobe AIR, so no server programming.

If you have access to AIR features, you can save large amounts of data in a file:

var storage:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("data.xml");
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(storage, FileMode.WRITE);
stream.writeSomething //there are various .writeXXX functions
stream.close();

I would save xml file (just to avoid inventing custom parser), then read it back.
