Input file

I have a flash program which reads data from a .txt file. I want to create another flash program which will read in the data from the user and output this .txt file. Is this possible and if not is there another way i can achieve the same result? This information from this input program is only going to be used in the main flash program.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks
John

Tell me if this is correct. You want data from user input to displayed as output in flash.
for example if i type my name into an inputfield, it is then shown as output in flash. if this correct, you don't need a separate text file.

I believe he wants to create another "application" that the user can use to "EXPORT" the info to a .txt file.. that the INITIAL application will than parse/import.



To answer...are we talking standalone? or does it need to be web based?

if A.) you can probablyget away with some sort of "batch" file that outputs the data to a .txt file.

if B.) you will need some sort of 3rd party, server side script (ie: CGI, PHP or ASP) that will grab the user input and output a .text file with the correct data for you.

It is two separate flash programs like described by whispers and it only needs to be stand alone, not web based- are these batch files easy to create?

The input application needs to be in flash as well though - is this still possible using a bat file? i've checked google and i cant find much thats helpful. I must admit tho that im a bit of a beginner at this..
Thanks

I am on my way to work currently...I would search the APPLICATION & STANDALONE forums here... you can get a LOT of good help in there.
