Write to file.

[thekillerbigmac]

Hello again everyone,

Stright out what I am trying to do: write to a .txt, or .dat file.

2 methods just came to me but dont know if, 1. They will work, and 2. How to do them....

method 1: write a c++ program to write the variables to a txt or dat file.

method 2: save another flash projector(.exe) as flash 5, and target and use that movie in this movie in which I am trying to save variables to a txt or dat.

I do have some doubts though... In method 1, I'm not sure how to approach getting the flash variables to transfer into my c++ program...Any Ideas?!...

In method 2, I know that there is a way to save my movei as a flash 5 .fla... the question is, Will it recognize it as a flash 5 swf and exe... and if so, will it have that same undocumaented save function?

Thanks for any feedback that comes from all of you..

Peace,
~Bill

THANKS AGAIN!

Suggestion 1: Doubt that if not using the Flash 5 application itself, you can output an .exe that would support the undocumented "Save" feature...But you can allways try!

Suggestion 2: Why not use 3rd party software, that would allow you to save to text files?

Suggestion 3: Couldn't you use sharedObjects? The Flash cookies!
