Hi folks

I could use some advice, I've been using Flash for ages but haven't a clue about backend scripting...

I've got a flash app where you can add movieclips to the stage and move them around, what I'd like is for the user to dynamically save the _x, _y and _rotation values so they can be viewed by other people.

What would be the best way to do this - write to an XML file or to a MySQL database?

If its possible I'd like users to email a link to a friend that brings up the saved movieclip values.

Does that make sense to anyone?
