I'm just looking for a basic tutorial on how to store and retrieve XML data in an external/separate XML file. I've created an XML file before and I for the most part know ActionScript 3.0 but I've never modified and retrieved data from an external XML file before in my flash project.

here's the thing, i need to store different values in a 2d array (or something conceptually similar). The idea is to create a 2d map with tiles and the array would save the ID of every tile in the map. I'm trying to create something mildly efficient, specially because i need to save some memory usage for later use (it has to do with AI) and it must run on a low end PC, but simply creating an array seems to be a waste of space since i only have about 50 different IDs at any given map.i thought about creating a 2d array of 8bit chars would be sufficient, but that's out of the question with actionscript 3, it doesn't have 8bit char data type.

I want to make my games savable. What would be the best way to store and retrieve the data? I plan on storing them in a mySQL database and retrieving them as XML. Should I give each game its own table and each variable its own column (with a row for each user)? Or should I just put all saved games into a table and store all variables in one cell? How should I retrieve them?

I am trying to retrieve a stock quote from Yahoo! finance using Flex. I currently have it set so that it will pull the quote like I want, but it opens it in a new file. However, I want to store the CSV data in a variable so that I can use it in my program.

navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=aapl&f=l1"),"_self");

View 5 RepliesI'm developing a Flex app which is connected to a webservice - but I'm curious about what is generally best practice for handling the data locally. My webservice provides fairly small XML docs containing all the details about a certain object - is it considered better to parse that XML into objects for use in my UI, or just store the XML and access it directlyMy instincts say the former, though I'm sure doing a lot of parsing / encoding XML objects that I'm wondering if I shouldn't just add and remove elements when needed.
