Saving each instances to a form of data?

Hi guys me again <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />. Im trying to make a advanced level editor kinda thing to share with the community.

Basically I need to know how to save each instance to a string or something so i can then send the data to my server and retrieve it on command :).

So is there a way to convert each instance into one whole piece of data?

loop through them and build some string like

foreach Sprite
  set save to save&sprite.X&","&Sprite.Y&","&Sprite.Angle&","&Sprite.AnimationFrame&","&Sprite.instancVar1&newline

Yann, Yeah i had a look at that thread, Very informative. But you used tokenat() right?

So lets break this down <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I need a global var called text, its a string. I get that,

I get most of the second line aswell except: "&Sprite.instancVar1 what is instanceBar1?

Whatever instance variable you feel like saving —

Oooooooh I see [:0] Thanks guys!

tokenat let you retrieve each part of the string. you can locate a part (token) thanks to an index and a separtator.

In our example, each object can be retrived thanks to the 'newline' separator

And each data of an object (once you retrieve the line) thanks to the "," separator.
