Howdy,

Im making an application that allows people to drag objects around in a swf. Is it possible to have the coordinates of those objects stored so that anyone else who looks at the swf sees where the objects where last dragged to.

im aware of **sharedObjects** , but this wont work as multiple users dont have access to the same store of information (i.e. only the person who dragged the objects will see where they have been moved to when they next open the swf…)

Regards,
