the best deal for all of that has also been to create a Director shell around the swf. and do all your actions through the Director exe. If you have Director it works.
I bet that dude was just waiting to see if they included that function in Flash 5 to finish it or can the project. There are alot of tools that will go off the market in the next few months with the advent of 5. Regards, Bill
I have a question along these lines, but it doesn't really belong in this thread so I posted a new one:

Sounds like you guys have the technical knowlege I need to answer this question. It's about modifying the registry from flash. If you feel like helping jump on over.
You mean "bad programmers"
VB is a fine language. And if you know the win32 api it is even more flexible.
I have created many apps with VB and all of them run very well. C++ is a better system, but when it comes to GUI and crunch time it can’t beat VB. Sure it has some drawbacks but overall my experience with VB has been excellent.
One thing I have noticed is that it seems to be the culture of C++ guys to dismiss VB out of hand.
Hi, I don't know if you're still following this thread but i just made a program in VBasic to write vars to my HD into a text file.
I run the program with the FS "EXEC" command, pass the variables and the program do the rest.
You can download this three files from here:
http://209.76.97.59/ftp/read.exe
http://209.76.97.59/ftp/write.exe
http://209.76.97.59/ftp/savevars.exe
place the three files in the same folder and run the write.exe first, use the read.exe to read your vars, the name of the text file is vars.txt.
you can have more than three vars,
of course if you whish i can share the source code.
Notes:
The read.exe is just for demonstration purposes, the important part here is a subroutine nested in my flash file called write.exe, this subroutine deletes and inserts all the special chars like &, chr(9) and "" so you don't have to deal with that every time you add or remove a variable.
The other important thing here is the executable built in VBasic that filters and formats the vars passed to save the in a format that Flash can read back again AND it runs transparent in the background you don't even notice it.
Warning:
You can not pass more than 135 chars to the VBasic exe.
Final note:
I'm still working on the warning noted above as well as other capabilities and functions and don't forget your feedback.
