High Scores Help

[Help!!]

I am looking for a section of ActionScript which is simpler than the following :

user_create = SharedObject.getLocal("user");
trace(user_create.data.score1);
if (user_create.data.score1 != undefined) {
} else {
user_create.data.score1 = 0;
user_create.data.score2 = 0;
user_create.data.score3 = 0;
user_create.data.score4 = 0;
user_create.data.score5 = 0;
user_create.data.name1 = "No score";
user_create.data.name2 = "No score";
user_create.data.name3 = "No score";
user_create.data.name4 = "No score";
user_create.data.name5 = "No score";
}
var create:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("scoresobject");
score1_entry = user_create.data.score1;
score2_entry = user_create.data.score2;
score3_entry = user_create.data.score3;
score4_entry = user_create.data.score4;
score5_entry = user_create.data.score5;
name1_entry = user_create.data.name1;
name2_entry = user_create.data.name2;
name3_entry = user_create.data.name3;
name4_entry = user_create.data.name4;
name5_entry = user_create.data.name5;
var scoresArray:Array = new Array();
var namesArray:Array = new Array();
scoresArray[0] = user_create.data.score1;
scoresArray[1] = user_create.data.score2;
scoresArray[2] = user_create.data.score3;
scoresArray[3] = user_create.data.score4;
scoresArray[4] = user_create.data.score5;

namesArray[1] = user_create.data.name2;
namesArray[2] = user_create.data.name3;
namesArray[3] = user_create.data.name4;
namesArray[4] = user_create.data.name5;
user_create.flush();
if (_root.score>score1_entry) {
for (loops=5; loops>0; loops--) {
scoresArray[loops] = scoresArray[loops-1];
namesArray[loops] = namesArray[loops-1];
}
scoresArray[0] = _root.score;
namesArray[0] = name_enter;
} else if (_root.score>score2_entry) {

namesArray[loops] = namesArray[loops-1];
}
scoresArray[3] = _root.score;
namesArray[3] = name_enter;
} else if (_root.score>score5_entry) {
scoresArray[4] = _root.score;
namesArray[4] = name_enter;
}
user_create.data.score1 = scoresArray[0];
user_create.data.score2 = scoresArray[1];

Thanks for any help

//

//
if (user_create.data.score1 == undefined) {
	for (i=1; i<=5; i++) {

Thanks for your help, although there is still a small problem. When a new high score is created, and the program is closed and then reopened, the top high score seems to have disappeared.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem ?

Try changing to this...

for (k=0; k<=4; k++) {
	user_create.data["score"+ (k+1) ] = scoresArray[k];
	user_create.data["name"+ (k+1) ] = namesArray[k];
	this["score"+(k+1)+"_entry"] = scoresArray[k];
	this["name"+(k+1)+"_entry"] = namesArray[k];
}
