please,somebody - anybody MERCY... saving text to text fiel on HD?!?

[NTD]

Hi,

With Flash5 you can use the

fscommand("save", "foldername/textfile.txt");

you have to make sure all the variables you want to save are on the _root timeline of the movie as this will not save variables in a movieclip....

to load the textfiles....

loadVariablesNum("foldername/textfile.txt", 0);

In MX , from what I understand,... you can't use that method. You can use the Shared Object to save data to the HD in the specified Macromedia folder and the user specify's the amount. There is a tutorial at were-here.com about a perpetual calander that uses the shared object that I have been trying to adapt some. However, the disadvantage is that the files are constantly overwritten. For a more powerful calander type system,... you might look into the Spark Events Calender,.... I have yet to explore that one much and I have not seen any type of user interface for it,... for what it's worth.

Might check out my thread on the Shared Object here,..... there is a demo of the calander there and what I am trying to do.
