Room design

[dildror]

Hi there,
I'm new to flash and want to create a room design application.

Say that I overcome my object design issues, I need to know how to save the user's final design.
This of course means that when the user comes back to the site, he has the room designed from the last saved state.

What is the accepted format of accomplishing this ? Saving the data on a special DB and have the AS read that on load ? a cookie (I doubt that ..) ?

Thanks a lot !

I'd do this with a SharedObject, indeed a Flash cookie.

Though it's rare, SharedObjects can be manually cleared. If that's not a huge problem/concern, I'd use them too. But, another option is to format a url based on the user's selections. Then, the user can be sent that url via email or copy/paste. So it may be something like

http://www.site.com/?color=123456&roomtype=whaterver

etc etc.

When that unique url is visited again, flash would retrieve the vars and re-build the room. Just another option.
