Flash XML 'database'

[tonyknibb]

Is it possible to create an XML file on someones computer (when Flash file is stored locally)?

I need to create a Flapplication to store data (some numbers) as XML file/s. Essentially 7 numbers, in date encoded files (e.g. 1 number per day).

Can it be done?

Will it work on all machines with the 5 plugin and later?

Learn to use SharedObjects which are "flash cookies". Whatever you put in, you can get out later. I haven't done XML but I have stored objects in a shared object. And then added variables or attributes to the object to store values in.

Hope that helps.

Wicked man, cheers.

That'll only function in Flash play 6 though, won't it? Not a big problem, I'm just wondering...

Yeah, only available in the 6 player.
