Hello I have one question. How i can store data (for example an object) in flash memory and when I need it just import it to ram ?

Assuming you are using the META, by adding const to your variable definitions you put them into flash.

This string is in RAM:

char mystring[] = "Hello World";

while this string is in flash:

const char mystring[] = "Hello World";

You can access both the exact same way

Is a difference with PROGMEM ?

Thanks, helpful as always ;). But now I encounter other problem. I want to store my stage data in object of Room class. Sadly I can't make it const cause im adding things to it on setup by using methods. So how can I store my stage data in flash ?

I can make all stage objects and then store it in constant array but still there are non-constant created objects that still gonna be in RAM not in flash :C

Via brace initializers (you can't run a custom constructor then, though)

const MyObj test = {42, 1337};

the parameters are the attributes in the order they appear

PROGMEM isn't relevant for the META, as it only has one addressible space. Both the PROGMEM keyword and the F() macro literally do nothing when compiling for the META
