    storing data on server (in MX)

    Hi, I was wondering what the easiest way to store a small amount of data on the server would be.

    Basically I wanna keep a hiscore table for a flash game, and would need to store juz a couple of names and a couple of score in a little file, but i havent the faintest idea how to go about it. any ideas?
    thx

    You're gonna need a server-side script to handle the incoming data and process it into your data file. The script could be CGI based (Perl, PHP, etc) or ASP, ColdFusion, etc. To post the data see the Flash function "loadVariablesNum()", the Flash help section explains this pretty well. The are numerouse tutorials here regarding this, I'd suggest taking a look at a couple, should get you started.
