I was just getting ready to buy flash jesters jsave and netcheck, when I saw the flashmx announcement. WIll MX proivide the facilities to do these things from a flash projector?

1. check for internet connection.
2. write a text file.

I am building a desktop app that will load data from our live site and display it, but I need to be able to write to a text file on the hard drive so I can show the latest possible info (written to text file at time of last connection) if they are not currently connected. Hope some one can/will answer this... trying to save $300 (money is short here as everywhere).

Thanks in advance
