You can't import flash.filesystem.File unless if don't have an AIR application.

As I know about Flash can't write and read file on computers. If you have a PHP server, you can't easily do this job with sending data's to PHP for saving on SQL and asking for data.

About this:

If there isn't any internet connection on the PC, you can't use PHP or MySQL to save.

If you use PHP and MySQL to save your data's and coins ext. it's gonna always work unless the PC got internet connection.

For a simple AIR flash application you can simply create an external file 

var file1:File = new File("\score.dat");//you can also use File.applicationStorageDirectory
var str:FileStream=new FileStream();
str.open(file1, FileMode.WRITE);
//save your name and score here in some formatted way
str.writeUTFBytes("NAME: Feynman SCORE: 500/500 "); 
str.close();

Similarly to read the file 

var fileOpen:FileStream = new FileStream();
fileOpen.open(file1, FileMode.READ);
// this will contain your name/score string
var str:String = fileOpen.readUTF(); 
fileOpen.close();

dont forget to import flash.filesystem.File and import flash.net.FileReference.

But you should be aware of that this file is not secure it could be tampered with. You should look into more secure way to store store data if your application need it eg Shared Objects / cryptographically securing your data / storing it externally (on your servers).

You might be interested to save datas in an external file (XML,...), this way it should be able to save any score with or without internet.
