I have a very general requirement that seemed very simple: Step 1: Load a new external JPEG image into a MC with a string var encoding a string caption in the URL link (VALUE="../fadeTest.swf?someTextVar=TestCaption") within the EMBED / OBJECT sections. I know how to do this and it semed to work fine. STEP2: When the JPEG is loaded I would like the substituted Text to Fade In over the JPEG. The JPEG should also fade in before the Text. The fade rate should be programmable.

I would like to know if it is possible to save data from an input text field to a file on my computer, then retrive the data from that file and load it into a dynamic text field. This application is not and will not be on a website of anysort its an experiment in creating a sorta phone book on my computer. I have created 2 input text fields. the first one is where i would enter a persons name, instance name of "_name", the second input text field is where i would enter a phone number, instnace name of "_phone".
Also there is a button with an instance name of "_save", which hopefully will save the data to a txt file on my computer or something, at this point i am up for anything. what I dream of doing is haveing two projectors one for entering the data, and the other for retrieving the data. The second projector, i would like to beable to type in a name or phone number then it would display, load, retrieve the name and phone number from that file storing the data.

I am scratching my head because there isn't much out there even in the forum on something this simple.[code]...
Here is what I am trying to accomplish I am able to retrieve these variables from the txt file that is stored with the SWF file and display them, I am unable to allow the user to change a line "item" and then have them save it amending the TXT file.
So the goal is to have this list on multiple office computers so that you can go in add an item to the list it then updated the TXT file so the next user can open up the flash file see the list and even add or remove an item.
The TXT file is going to be stored on a private drop box folder that is available on all computers concerned. ( If it's going to be easier than putting it server side )
I've been trying to work on a web portal for updating a website I am creating. I originally duplicated a write-to-.txt php script and duplicated it for each of my pages, but for some reason it isn't working out very well as I assume they are fighting with each other. I am looking into creating what I assume is called an array, so that I can store 5 separate data pieces in one text file but I can't seem to find a tutorial that is close to this. the closest I can find is a guestbook tutorial but it is very out of date. I would like to be able to store multi-line text (so that paragraphs and breaks are preserved) from 5 different input boxes and then retrieve that data upon loading of the input boxes and in a different page which would be the actual content of the website.
