im doing a level editor for my game and i need to save the tilemap data (120×120 uint array) and character data (character type, position, rotation, stats, etc) to a .bin file. How can i do it? I know i can do it by using XMLs but it is not good for saving tilemaps… Thanks

    What you are looking for is the FileReference class’s save function. See here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/FileReference.html#save()

    This only works in Flash Player 10+, and requires user interaction. (It’ll pop up a save dialog box) These restrictions are there for security reasons, if you want to be able to save flies directly (without user interaction), you’ll have to use AIR, see the FileStream class ref for that: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/FileStream.html

    To save native Flash objects to an external file and load them in again, you’ll need to write the data to a ByteArray first. ByteArray has two methods (writeObject & readObject) that make this trivial. see here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/utils/ByteArray.html

    Good luck.
