I have a project that I was handed where the client wants to have the usage of the program tracked and a monthly report of that usage output somehow. This is a single swf app that will run locally via CD or from an installed directory.
My question: is this at all possible? How would you go about storing the variables?

i ended up using the shared object and appended data to it as needed. works pretty well. it wasn’t as difficult as i had imagined.
