Are you asking for something other than just editing it in notepad?
Editing in notepad just seems time consuming and clumsy. I wondered if there was a way of creating 'input question, input multiple choice answers' and then have the resulting .txt file ?
Yes. What version of flash and actionscript are you using?
Unfortunately my system has crashed, so nothing at the moment. have to rebuild my P.C - replying to this at work. :-(
Would something in Flash CS5, actionscript 3 be okay?
It would, if you are still there!
can anyone else help, please?

Hi,
Here is a very basic AS3 way of doing it for you,
PHP Code:
import flash . events . MouseEvent ;
import flash . text . TextField ;
import flash . net . URLLoader ;
import flash . net . URLRequest ;
// *** Save part
var TextToSave : TextField ;
var FileRef : FileReference ;
function SaveFile ( e : MouseEvent ): void
{
FileRef = new FileReference ();
FileRef . save ( TextToSave . text , "MySavedText.txt" );
}
SaveButton . addEventListener ( MouseEvent . CLICK , SaveFile );
// *** Import part;
var TextLoader : URLLoader = new URLLoader ();
TextLoader . addEventListener ( Event . COMPLETE , OnLoad );
function OnLoad ( e : Event ): void
{
TextToSave . text = TextLoader . data ;
}
function GetFile ( e : MouseEvent )
{
TextLoader . load (new URLRequest ( "MySavedText.txt" ));
}
LoadButton . addEventListener ( MouseEvent . CLICK , GetFile );
On stage:
Two movieclips/buttons - Names = LoadButton/SaveButton
One Textfield - Name = TextToSave
and one external text file called MySavedText.txt if you are going to import first.
