Flash - Writing to a file?

programming flash
1

I know flash can’t do it directly, anyone have a good way to do this?

I created a flash projector that autoruns on a cd, there’s a signup form on the disc. When the user signs up, the info is sent and stored in a database… Now, how can I prevent (as best I can) the user from coming back and signing up again? If I could write to a file, or to the registry, I could at least stop them from signing up twice on the same computer. Any ideas??

Thanks in advance.

make it execute another program… and make that program do it, if you contact me i can make you one.

you can also use Flash’s Shared Object which is like a Flash cookie.
