    Simple way of loading a var from a file and replacing it with an updated version?

    Hi, I would like to have flash (as3) to save a var to a text file located on my server so everyone can reach it from their client swfs. I also need to know how to update this variable by loading latest var on the server and writing over it with a new updated var.

    I've read so much already and it all seems so confusing

    For example, I could have a file called hello.text on http://www.randomsite.com/game/hello.txt which contains:

    variable=potatoe

    I would like to, whenever I feel like it, be able to load that var and replace it with something else.

    Any simple solution for this?


    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    what is wrong with the tutorial at flash-db.com?
    You really need serverside script to save data, and you should use serverside even to read it - this way the script can ensure that recurring visitors see the latest version of the file

    Yeah, I know.... many hours later I got something to sort of work.... so, eventually I'll get the result I want. Was just hoping for a quicker way.
