If you want a game to be able to be saved so that opening it later can resume play, then you need to store the data relevant to the game somewhere so that it can be retrieved when called for.  If you are creating an online game, then your options are to either save the game data to a server-side file usng server-side script to write the data file, or save it to a server-side database, or save it as a SharedObject (the Flash version of a cookie).

If you are making an AIR application, then you can have data stored in the ApplicationStorageDirectory or some other designated locale other than the ApplicationDirectory.
