Where do you want to save the data?

Locally, on the user’s pc? [size=1](use shared Objects)

[size=2]Or on your server, so that it can be loaded back to flash for others to see too? [size=1](server side script needed, php, asp, possibly also mySQL)

[size=2]And what kind of data are we talking about here anyway?

:rock:[/size]  
[/size][/size] [/size]

I’m still quite not so sure what you want, but if you simply want to store the user’s name during this one time he/she views your .swf, you can use simply:

```auto

 var username = "Name Of the User";
 
 //and call it later on, for instance in a dynamic textfield named "name"
 
 name = username:
 
 //saving the name(s) to an array, could work something like this:
 usernames = new Array();
 usernames.push(username);
 

```

If you want to have the username stored also for later use, like a cookie, you could use shared object:

```auto

 myCookie = sharedobject.getLocal("cookieName" );
 cookieName.data.username = "Name Of the User";
 
 //and call it using simply
 cookieName.data.username

```

More about shared objects: [http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/local\_so.htm](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/local_so.htm)

But if you want to see the saved information too, then you need to save the data on your server, with php, for example.

Hopefully helps… I have really no idea what you want to achieve here 🙂
