Saving exact _x and _y positions?

[RadMad]

Ok, so i've been working on a platformer for some time now and i have decided that dying on a level may be a little difficult, so i've decided to make my own little save button, and i was wondering if there was any way to save my exact x and y position on the level or if i can only save the details of my progress (score, and level, etc..)

This is in AS2 and here is my script, (thanks to the help of AS: Main =3

 on (release){
  savefile.data.health=_root.health;
  savefile.data.egg=_root.egg;
  savefile.flush();
}

egg is how many easter eggs you have collected if you were wondering.

if you used AS:Main you should;d already be able to do it...... and all you do use api there is a tutorial in AS:Main (to lazzy to look for it although it should be in basic or intermediate)

and what is the flush(); command for??

If you're save button works fine for health, all you need to add to that button code is:

savefile.data.playerX = _root.playerName._x
savefile.data.playerY = _root. playerName._y

Don't forget to change "playerName" to whatever you called your player. If you understand the code you have, it should be pretty simple to change it for loading the player position.
