Update/Edit XML File

[NokX]

i posted this in a thread in the XML section, but it's a ghost town.

let's say i want to change product b's price from 1.25 to 2.25... what method do you use in flash to accomplish this? i know createElement("name") makes a new element, but i'm wanting to update a current one.

i assumed this would work...

this.firstChild.childNodes[0].nodeValue = "2.25"; 

it does, but just in flash. as soon as i reload the flash file, it's back to 1.25 and the xml file never changes.

mystore.xml

<store>
   <product name="product a">
      <type>vegetable</type>
      <price>5.50</price>
   </product>
   <product name="product b">
      <type>fruit</type>
      <price>1.25</price>
   </product>
   <product name="product c">
      <type>meat</type>
      <price>8.50</price>
   </product>
</store>

To do what you want to do you have to communicate with the server using a script. The lement you create will only be present as long as your movie is running and will then disappear.

Here is a turorial, although I don't know it is what you need.
