Saving To .txt Files

[ViRGo_RK]

I attempted a few searches, but for some reason it seems to be down for today.

So I pose this question. How do you save to a text file from Flash 8?

If you're talking about save some type of text from an swf, then you need to pass (by POST or GET) the text to a server script (php, asp...) that can read the values in. Then the script will need to open and write the text to a file.

You can use LoadVars class to do this from Flash.

Ok, gotcha. My dad knows enough ASP to get me through that part, I'll learn it from him. Thanks.

Hey Virgo,

Once your figure it out, care to assist me with it, Im trying to do the exact same thing without any idea how.

I wrote a thread in General Forum about it too, so I'll be watching both

Alright, when my dad gets back from a two day work trip, I'll work it out with him and let you know. I'm not too familiar with ASP, so we'll plow through the script and I'll pass it on.

This will write it to a cookie:

var myInfo_so:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("flashmechanicCookie");
save_btn.onRelease = function() {
	myInfo_so.data.myLoginData = myInput_txt.text;
	myInfo_so.flush();
}
myInput_txt.onSetFocus = function(){
	myInput_txt.text = myInfo_so.data.myLoginData;
}

Nice Estudio,

Though that doesnt really fit my needs, but its a good thing to know for other things. Ill be sure to add that to my Flash Dictionary

Thats right, I keep a flash dictionary of different things, laugh it up haha
