Hi,

A very basic way is like so,

your flash button command

button.onPress = function()
{
    SubmitData();
};

function SubmitData()
{
    var SendData = new LoadVars();
    SendData.Word = MyText.text;
    SendData.send("save.php","_blank","POST");
} 

and the matching php file called save.php like so (same directory)

<?php  

$FlashVar1 = $_POST['Word'];
$FlashVar2 = "You saved this ".$FlashVar1;

$Document = "save.txt";
$Saver = fopen($Document,"w");

fwrite ($Saver, $FlashVar2);

fclose($Saver);

echo $FlashVar2."<br / > here is the text file <a href='$Document' target='_blank'>Here</a>";

?>

for home testing you will need your apache / IIS home server

Hi,

It is AS2, if you want to do it without a server side language then you will need to use AS3, which I am unable to help you with.
