AS3 Append data to local file

Question

I have an AS3 game that will be played on local desktops (not on network) and I need to save the players details after every game. I have tried a few methods (filestream, sharedObject, XML) but so far none have worked. The details to be saved are variables player_name and player_score. I just need these added to an existing file, they don't have to be sorted or filtered.

For this case I would use a simple LocalShardObject. I hope, you'll understand this code. Otherways, please ask. Greetings André

import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;
import flash.net.SharedObject;    

var soName:String="yourSO"

function writeScore(playerName:String, playerScore:Number):void
{
    var so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal(soName);    
    // Write a new Object nemed by the playername in the so 
    so.data[playerName]= {name:PlayerName, playerScore:playerScore};    
    // add a successListener
    so.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onFlushStatus);
    // and flush it
    so.flush(); 
}

function readSO():Object
{
    var so:SharedObject; = SharedObject.getLocal(soName);

    //If no lso was found
    if (so.size === 0 || so.data.results === null)  {               
         _results = [];
        trace("lso not found"); 
        return;             
    }
    //For 'playerName' you can choose a name you want and add all your stuff to  this object // it is basically an object
    var playerName:String = so.data[playerName]name;
    var playerScore:Number = so.data[playerName]playerScore;
    trace(playerName, playerScore); 
}

function onFlushStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void
{           
    var so:SharedObject = event.target as SharedObject; 
    switch (event.info.code)
    {
        case "SharedObject.Flush.Success":
            trace("value saved in the lso"); 
        break;
        case "SharedObject.Flush.Failed":
            trace( "value not saved in the lso"); 
        break;
    }

    so.removeEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onFlushStatus);
}

//Let' try
writeScore("Andre", 10);
readSO("Andre");
writeScore("JayTray", 11);
readSO("JayTray");
