Flash and environment variables [SOLVED]

[makkar]

Hi,

We tried a game with the latest flash export and it didn't save local environment variables. Or maybe it didn't read them back?

I thought that saving environment variables was totally crossplatform. Isn't it the case?

Just to report, xml save doesn't work in UAT1.4B Flash either with this code:

Code: Select all

local sPath = "file://"
sPath = sPath .. system.getHomeDirectory ( )
sPath = sPath .. "/Library/Application Support/com.silicondroid.boborange/"
sPath = sPath .. this.K_FILENAME ( )
xml.send ( this.hXML_New ( ), sPath )


But this doesn't suprise me as Flash only has shared objects (flash cookies) which I suppose ENV variables could be stored in but a disk-like structure becomes impractical.

Yes it is, but it's not yet implemented for Flash. We have to look into shared objects, as suggested by Fraser.

Ok, just to let you know this has been fixed. Environment variables are now stored in shared objects
