View 1 RepliesI have a simple form in Flash. I need to write the data from the input text fields to a local text file. I need the text file to append after each submission of the form to include all entries. Sounds simple?
View 1 RepliesI'm writing a game to be run locally, on the user's computer. NOT over the internet. I want to have a file that will hold the usernames and avatar indices (they're in an array). I want to know if there's a way to write to files through Flash with AS3. I'm using CS4. I'd also like to know if you can delete files through Flash, though that's just optional.

View 1 RepliesThere's a Flash EXE projector There's a XML file in the folder relative to the projector, data/menu.xml Application is launched on a Windows XP box
On one of the XP machines XML fails to load over some awkward reason. In most environments it works fine. The same app runs well on all Macs tested.
I'm working on this project, where i have an .exe-projector reading from an XML-file. But the thing is, one have to open the XML-file manually to change the info in it. can this be done from a projector, when the XML-file isn't stored on a webserver?
View 0 RepliesI am trying to write a class file using a .as file instead of writing code into the script tab of a .fla file.When I write stage.addChild(img); I get an error that stage is null. When I take out stage, and just write addChild(img); the code runs fine, but nothing appears on stage. Do I need to do something to set a stage active?
Is this because I don't have a Main class? My class is named after the file and I don't have a file named Main.Here is the code. As it is, it runs and I get the two trace outputs, but no graphic on my screen.

View 1 RepliesI do understand the differance between ssas and as3. Not all, but all most everything I see written in SSAS can be writen into a external AS3 file. This leads me to quite a few questions I'm hoping you kind people can shed some light on for me.
1) What is the advantage of writing a SSAS file over an external AS3 file?
2) Can I write an .asc file in AS3 or do I have to use AS1? Please understand I'm using tuts from fmsguru.com and the books "Learning Flash Media Server" (pdf) and "Programming Flash Communication Server". I'm not a javascript programmer so nothing I do in AS1 seems to make any sence while everything I do in AS3 does. It may not seem like it to you people that are programmers, but to those of us that aren't, AS1 and AS3 are miles apart.
3) kind of off topic, but a security question. I'm not a "hacker" and don't like the jerks that are. My question is on external AS / SSAS files and swf files. When my fla is compiled into a swf does my external AS files remain external? I assume they do, but then what is the threat of the swf being decompiled? In most projects I would do I could care less if somebody had access to my fla as long as they don't have my actionscript files.
I don't know. Maybe on questions one and two I'm getting confused becasue I'm using out dated material. Again I assume that even though fms was built off of the javascript engine it should be able to read and execute my AS3 file. Other wise what was the point of the evolution of actionscript into a fully functional programming language?
I have an menu for user to populate it. Then when the user finish, I would like to store his Order into an XML database. I do not know how to write to XML file in Flash.

is it possible to post to php in an .exe file instead of a .swf displayed inside a browser? If so, how? I figured if you just created the .exe on the server with the .php file in the same folder it would read it and work fine.

View 5 RepliesI have looked far and wide but I can't find any resources on how to write to CSV files from flash AS3. I know that flash cannot write to it alone. I have used PHP before to write to a txt file but now I need to open a csv and insert/edit entries that are already in it.
View 1 RepliesI've got all these flash books, yet not one of them tells me if it's possible to write to a txt file. They show how to read from a txt file using loadVariables(), but not the reverse.

I don't get this error when I embed the XML file directly with the EMBED metadata tag.
Does anybody know a tutorial or something about writing to a txt file in Flash AS3?

View 1 RepliesI'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?
View 1 RepliesI'm using Flash CS3 and AS3 to create a stand alone app to run a kiosk. At the end of the kiosk we have a spot for a user to input comments and I want to write the contents of 2 text boxes when the submit button is clicked to a .txt file on the system that an administrator can approve and copy to a new file to be read in to the app and displayed. I've figured out how to read the external txt file easily enough, but there are so many conflicting things online regarding writing an external text file I haven't done any serious programming in 8+ years so I'm also relearning programming with this project.
