I am seeing repeated comments on this discussion forum that it's not possible to save data from Flash into a locally stored XML file . . . but there must be a way to do this. Why is you can read data from a locally stored XML file but not update or add data to it. how absurd a design would that be, it simply wouldn't be logical!

I just have to save my data, maybe array into .txt file and later on

Anyone here have an example or some source code so i can have reference on it?
I'd like to know if there's a way to take data entered into a field in flash, save it, and call it later via an object.I don't want anyone to walk me through it if there is, that's not what I'm asking. I'm just asking what I need to know in order to do this. I'd like to build a certain flash app that takes information (such as a name, paragraph, and/or sentence) saves it, and can then be recalled when a user clicks a button... even if the user has closed out the application.I'm still relatively new to flash, I know enough to get by on basic projects, but I want to expand my knowledge so I don't end up stuck in a beginners rut.Would this require using PHP and Flash? Or can it be done entirely in flash via exporting data to a designated external file?

I've been all over the interwebs, including Stack Overflow, for hours, trying to identify a solid, workable example of saving information in Flash into an XML file.
I want to take the positions of two different types of objects and export the lists of each to XML. We'll call the objects ball and bat.

I have created a simple flash animation for my employer. I basically have a square that changes color depending on which of three buttons are clicked. This is replicated about 30 times on the page. There is also about 15 circles that have a toggle button created so that when you click on the circle, they change between two colors. As I said, a very simple application.
Now, I need to save the data so that whenever someone new opens the swf, the current color combination is displayed. My way of thinking, with my limited AS3 experience, is that each button click, in addition to changing the color of a movie clip, should also send the data to a server. Then when someone opens the application fresh, I can use the URLLoader to load the most current data.
Am I on the right track, or am I missing it completely? I think I can figure out the URLLoader, but what code would I use to create the text file or xml file?Here is a snippet of my code:
var rtmColor:ColorTransform = f13335.transform.colorTransform;
var okColor:ColorTransform = f13335.transform.colorTransform;
var usColor:ColorTransform = f13335.transform.colorTransform;
[code].....
By clicking on either the rtm_13335, ok_13335, or us_13335 buttons, they will change the f13335 movie clip to the appropriate color (blue, green, or red). The default color is green.
What I would like to do is make the movie clip red, for example, then another person opens the swf, and the movie clip is red as opposed to the default green because I saved the current state to a text or xml file.
I have in mind a very basic swf file that allows someone to enter data (via dynamic text box), submit this data (via php), which in turns saves it as a file on the Server. This file (.txt) would be used to populate text on the main site. Most of this seems quite straight forward, and standard practice, apart from actually saving the data as a particular file and on the server (or overriding an existing file), which I'm sure comes up against problems such as FTP access and everything else, but I was wondering if someone might have an insight on how this could be done?
View 3 RepliesI have a serious of games swf's loading externally from a main menu swf.What I'm trying to do is take name of the player which they input into textfield and sent it to the XML file. After this at the end of each game I want to send the time it took to complete also to the XML file.The problem I have is I don't know to to create a new user inside the XML file and then replace the default time of 00:00:00 with the time that the player has set.NameTextField is the name of the textfield.Hourtext, Minutetext and Secondtext are the names of the timer. (They are ordered like Hourtext ':' Minutetext ':' Secondtext.

View 2 RepliesI've made a small application in Flash CS4 that I use when I'm teaching. Part of the application allows me to 'write' on draggable 'post-it' notes (using a draw function) and another part allows me to type text onto similar 'post-it' notes. how I could save the data that is written or typed in and then re-load it on another occasion?

View 3 RepliesOk here is my situation. I've developed a quiz application. Their is 30 frames. 2-29 is the presentation that contains the answers. Frame 30 has the quiz on it. When the user hits submit (once theyre all answered) and if their are wrong answers, it does not continue and it highlights the wrong questions and sets some _visible = false buttons to true. The buttons say "Review answer" which is going to take them back to the frame that has the answer and once that review is over it goes back to frame 30.
My problem is that when the user returns to the quiz frame, everything is reset. How can I store what the user has already selected so when they come back to frame 30 everything they filled out is still their?

View 3 RepliesI'm using Flash MX (2002) and I need to get my variable values saved to a server each time my test subjects run and finish my swf/fla (PHP scripts and a .txt file on the server are being worked on, but that's a different nightmare!). I'm pretty sure I should use LoadVars, NOT SharedObject for this data capture right?. The data must not be overwritten each time over the course of a few months of data collection. The 3 variables are: username (name of the user), counter (this keeps track of which version the user chooses from the start menu), numcorrect (keeps track of the number of times the <right> arrow key is pressed).
2 main problems: I don't know where to put in the LoadVars obj (in the AS code of "finaldisplay" frame?) AND I don't know how to build/format the LoadVars object to capture the data in the 3 variables I listed above. I've got several Flash books and have done online tutorials, so for something so simple (3 lousy variables!)...why is my life so miserable? Here's my zipped .fla.
I am using Flash 8, and are building a game. It is an RPG-style game, and many people have been asking for a save game feature.I've been sifting through tons of tutorials and none work for me. I want to save a 'level' variable so that players can come back to it later on and pick up where they left off.[URL]
View 2 RepliesI'm sorry this is a question from a server ignoramus, I've previously captured user input using a combination of cfml and text files. That was way back in 2002 and using AS 1.0. I'm now working in an environment where the server guy won't put any scripts on, and I mean none, no PHP, no ASP, no CFML, nothing. Would anyone know if there is a way of capturing user input without using a script, please? This prolly shows a really basic lack of understanding of how servers work but I'm a bit desperate. I know the Flash Learning Interactions can work with SCORM and pop results into LMSs that use SCORM and our LMS does use SCORM, but it seems to only be within the learning interactions and I don't know where to start to tailor this for the input I need to capture.
View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 & Actionscript 3.0 to create a grid with different objects that a user can move with the mouse. This is a standalone application meant to be used on a Windows machine.

I came across an article [URL] which states that it is possible to save local data onto a user's computer without a backend script (e.g. php) in Flash Player 10 but the article doesn't really say how this is done.
Is it possible to make such a thing: When Button_btn is clicked (onRelease), var( var Name:String = new String("Flash MX|) ) is send to file (File.txt) and saved there.

View 1 RepliesHalf way through;user saves the answers to a CSV file to a location.then continue the test and save the 2nd part to the same location (different file name). The next person completes the same test, and theoretically saves in the same location OVERWRITING the file. HOW IT SHOULD WORK when they overwrite the file, it SHOULD add it to the next ROW in the excel (csv)document, not overwriting the WHOLE file. In the end, you would (in theory) have a number of rows in one excel document, each row, a different user who completed the test The issue is: on the MAC computer, this works (im not sure if it's because the previous developer developed it on a MAC) however when I play it or move it to windows computer; It overwrites the whole CSV file, and doesn't add it in the rows.Here is the main code (half way through) for the first save:
