PROBLEM SOLVED:  
OKay. I’ve solved my problem. I’m not sure what I did. I guess I just had to compile the flash file. It works now. Other than that I can’t think of a reason that it works now.

PROBLEM:  
Okay. I’ve been building a game for my senior project for the past few months. I’m finally near completing it. The other part of my project was to build a new computer. I have finished that. So, now I have Windows 7 rather than XP. I’ve just been messing around with my program and I can’t save the game for some reason. It doesn’t give an error, it’s just that it doesn’t have anything to load. Do I have to disable something on Windows 7 to let it save? I’m saving it with SharedObject. Is there another way I can setup saving for flash games in Windows 7. Again, I’m using Flash MX, so it’s old and I guess it might not be completely compatible, but can’t I still save flash games like that?

Thanks,

UPDATE:  
Okay… my problem still isn’t fixed, but to narrow things down a bit I’ve gone into my computer and found the local host folder. There is a .sol file in there (the shared object file) so it is saving. For some reason though the loading is failing. Thanks for the help
