Im made this game. It let’s you save in a cookie. but where do I find the cookie in my comuter? for example, I don’t want to overwrite it.  
The filename of the swf is “demo” and the cookie name is “save\_it”.  
where is the location of the cookie?

shared objects are easy to access, say you make your sharedobject

now, all you have to do is say like

myso:SharedObject=new Sharedobject(/_w/e is in here_/)

myso.data.orange=0xff9933  
myso.flush()

\_root.mytext.text=myso.data.orange
