Saving and using user data,

ok, what i want to do is make a flash site that allows people to add a movie clip to the screen by clickiing, very easy,
but then i want them to beable to enter in there name and whatever.

but also i want them to see all other peoples movieclips they left behind, and see what information they typed.

does anyone know how i might go about this? i know there are a million ways to do this, but how would i

  1. keep the clips on the stage after someone leaves, and

  2. retain there info , i assume through xml or somehting but i need a little direction , i am fairly fluent wiht actionscripting, but dont know any other code really

thanks for any help possible
