This provides actions to store information to the hard disk of a computer or to a floppy disk. In particular it allows you to read and write information into variables, allowing you to permanently store information into a file. This information might be used to track the user’s progress, to store purchases or user details.
Note:
Before using these actions, you should be familiar with the concept of variables (see Introducing Variables in Creator for more information).
Creator provides three ways of storing information:
1. Disk file – reading and writing information into a plain text file on a floppy disk, hard disk or a networked drive using a variable.
2. Text file – writing information into a plain text file, as above, using a text box in which you type the information you want to store rather than selecting a variable.
3. Registry – reading and writing information to the Windows Registry.
Important Note!
The Read and Write actions in the Storage menu can only be used when you publish as a standalone publication – please read the Publishing Restrictions section for more information.
