    you have to work with a server side scripting language such as PHP have whatever the person writes sent to the php script using loadVars (). the php script then copies the text into a .txt file in the same directory as the swf. then you can load the .txt file into your movie. you need to do some homework to get this working this is a good site for learning how to use php. oh yeah you also have to make sure your server provides it.

    you could also have a look at using a MySQL database to sort and store the data, this will allow for a lot more interactivity with the returned (from the database) data. im oftern found browsing the forums over at devShed
    for php/mySQL scripting help.
