Awesome site, but how does it do it?

People have had previous examples of this before but please check it out.

You can go around the site collecting points. Which is easy to do with AS.

But is how does it remeber it? Can anyone help, I really want to use this system for a site I’m building?

But make it more complex. Like remeber a username and password or whatever?

Does it use actionscript to write over a .txt or xml file?

The site may use SharedObjects.

I agree with krilnon - I actually verified that an SO was saved on my computer from that site. I’m on a mac, but the so is saved at:
User/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects/22HRF4SH/www.konami.jp

There should be tutorials on this site, and here’s a link to adobe’s Shared object info: click here

DON’T DO THIS IF YOU HAVE SETTINGS STORED ON SOME FLASH SITES YOU MAY WANT TO KEEP - LIKE FWA FAVORITES FOR EXAMPLE: You should be able to delete your shared objects to test if thats where they’re storing it - right click on that flash site, then click on Flash Player Settings, then select the folder icon, then drag the slider all the way to the left - this will dump all shared objects (like clearing cookies) - if you close that window, refresh the site, and then if the scores are being saved, you know they’re stored in the SO. Don’t forget to move that slider back or you’re player won’t accept SO’s from this point on.
