I'm building a memory game with Flash, and I'd like to be able to get a high score thing going, for scores and time. The way I have set about this is to try to learn CGI, PERL and use of both with Flash from the ground up. Needless to say, I have ended up a gibbering wreck.

Is there and easier way to export variables, manipulate them, and store them in a DAT or TXT file?

Cheers.
