I can't seem to find out how to play my previously saved game files on a different PC than what I saved them on originally. Any tips or advice is appreciated!

I'm not sure. Game saves are usually .sol files (shared local objects, of flash cookies) and you can find them with this path
Start > execute (or something like that, my PC isn't English) > type exactly " %APPDATA%\\Macromedia\\Flash Player\\macromedia.com\\support\\flashplayer\\sys " then search for the armor games and AGI folder.
I've never tried to move them, but copying and pasting the whole ArmorGames folder EXACTLY in the same place in the other PC should work.

The file ur talking about is:
C:\\Users\\(USER_NAME)\\AppData\\Roaming\\Macromedia\\Flash Player\\#SharedObjects\\

Remember, .sol files are stored in varying locations, depending on the OS you use. Though, the file path below should work for you. Open a window with Windows Explorer (which is basically opening any folder) and insert the following into the address bar.

%APPDATA%\\Macromedia\\Flash Player\\#SharedObjects

You should see one or multiple folders with coded names. Check them all and look for the sub-folder that corresponds to the website you're looking for. In the case of AG2, the folder is named cache.armorgames.com.

You can copy the entire folder and keep it safe. When restoring the files to a new PC, I suppose you could paste the entire folder again. Though I let AG create a new cache.armorgames.com folder on my new computer first before transferring my old files. To ensure that everything is put in position so the servers can identify the save games properly, I usually play a game and let it create a save file before I replace the save file with the one I've transferred from my old PC. Also, each game usually gets put into its own folder, which is convenient.

This applies to AG2.

Well, since Flash is built to store data in this manner, it's your best shot. You probably got something wrong. I'd be happy see if I am able to help. Armor Games does have its AGI, but that's only available for AG games that have been packaged with it.

Problem is that the folders aren't exactly the same on every computer.. I prefer letting the folder be created first, and then replacing specific subfolders.
