FLASH: Is this possible?

[Paul Steven]

Hi there


I am making a game in Flash 5 and I am not sure if it is possible to do

everything I would like it to do.


Basically the game will be distributed on a cdrom (pc and mac). The idea of

the game is like "mastermind" (not the tv program). Basically there are four

garages each with a different vehicle in them. The user has to guess what is

in these garages by placing vehicles infront of each garage (there are 6

different vehicles to choose from). Once they place a vehicle in front of

each garage they press a button and the computer tells them how close to the

correct solution their answer was. i.e if they placed the right vehicle

infront of the correct garage they get a blue star, if they place one of the

correct vehicles in front of the wrong garage they get a red star. So

basically they get 8 attempts to guess the contents of the garages based on

the feedback on each successive guess.


Right - well thats the game - no problem making that in itself. But what I

would like to do is enable them to create a "game" to send to a friend. i.e

they would place the vehicles in the garage and then the friend receiving

the game would have to play the game and see if they can work out the

correct solution.


I have no idea how I am going to do this - how is it going to store this

"created game" - would it be possible for the Flash Projector to export a

text file with the contents of the garages and then have the player at the

other end load this text file in - or is there a simpler solution where the

Flash game can create a swf file.


I am a bit lost here - any help much appreciated


Thanks


Paul
