I am designing a videogame that will be sold on cd and played as a flash projector. the problem is, i want players to be able to save variables (such as experience points, money, etc) but since it’s a projector and its on a cd, i can not use php to write a txt document that could save the variables for the player and then load them in later.

is there a way i could do this with javascript or xml? i want to push a button that says save, have a “Save as” window pop up over my projector, save the txt document with the variables to the user’s desktop or whereever they choose. then later i would use another javascript or xml script to load in the saved info with an “Open” window. is this at all possible or am i just dreaming?

thanks
