ActionScript 2.0 :: Possible To Writing To A Text Document?
Aug 26, 2004
Basically, I am wondering if there is a way to write to a text document on the users system in order to store variables and/ or XML nodes with attributes.These documents would, in theory, allow the Flash movie to remember it's states so when a user returns to the site, or tries to save what they had open, the text file could be used to initialize and display the "saved" state.Wondering if anyone knows any resources for this or even if anyone out there has done something like this. Seems like it should be able to but may'be not.

I am working on a survey project where I want a user's answers to get logged to a text file. I used the code from this post to make a php script in an attempt to do this: [URL]
I modified it as follows:
var urlLDR:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
var urlR:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "filewriter.php" );
var urlVar:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
[Code]....
When I run my movie, it does not invoke the PHP script. why it is not working? Are there alternative methods to logging this data to a text file?

I'm trying to find a way to write to a text file from as2. I don't want to use any php or asp because my app needs to run without an internet connection. As3 has FileReference.save() and judging by the amount of searching I've done, as2 doesn't have that simple of a solution. Does anyone have a way even if its hacky to write to a txt file from as2?

Is there a way to do file reading and writing in flash, like using actionscript 2.0? Just like how we do it in C++. Like read variables or a string from a .txt file and write in it.

This could seem like a real easy noob question but I am trying to write a variable 'gcouter' to my dynamic textfield. I am converting it to a string but still nothing appears in the textfield. Not sure what I am doing wrong? Could someone please check out my code and point out the "blindingly obvious: that I do not see right now???
BTW I have not externalised my script/classes as its been a while since i did this and I'm still thinking timelines like AS2 so please forgive that part. The project timeline is pretty short and I wasted alot of time trying to get it to work with as files and document classes. Here is the code (it's for a simple click to spot game and gcounter purpose should be obvious):

I have an external file highscores.txt, which my game opens. It finds the 3 variables in it and compares them to the score that the user got and determines if they beat it or not. If they beat the high score, I want it to re-write the variables in the file, which are "name", "seconds", and "minutes". Here is how I open the file and get the data.
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("highscore.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {

I'm using flash and php to write or overwrite a text file (an xml file). I have text strings that contain the xml data, which then get parsed by the php file.
It works fine. However, I notice that the header in the XML file <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> get's replaced with <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
Why would slashes get added?

I am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
//php filewriter
var myLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
//sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php
myLV.hsdata = myText;
myLV.send("hiscores.php");
}
I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:

I have a main menubar.fla file, which has a document class on it linking to a menubar.as. the as3 file is just some simple Papervision3d stuff, and creates a few buttons on the stage from the library. Here you can see the project as it is now I am trying to make it so when your mouse leaves, the the head will tween back to facing forward. But to find the mouse leaveing, I am using the code found HERE In an FLA without a document class, it works fine, but when I add it to my menubar.fla I get the errors:
1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant:
TextField.
1180: Call to a possibly undefined method addFrameScript.
The first one comes from the text box alone on the stage.I had a similar problem when adding the buttons, that eventually made me link them for actionscript and just create them directly in the AS file, because placing them on the stage threw similar errors. I would do that for this code too, but according to the source site, "This event is only available added to the stage."
