I have a stand alone application that would run without a browser on desktop. I would like to write data to a text or database (MYSQL/PHP). Would it be possible for me to extend this functionality to a AS3 Stand Alone Application which would be strictly running on desktop?

I have a desktop app build in AS2
It kind of functions like a shopping cart / product calculator.
I want to be able to physically save a file with text data (to be reloaded later) in a directory on the computer. the app is running form a projector on windows.
How can I save data to a text file and also append a record to data in an existing text file? I've used Authowrware previously and it was quite easy to create a large string of data (a comma separated list) and export that to a text file (and create the text file if it didn't already exist). I could then easily append additional rows of data (records) to the text file. We want to build a questionnaire that will store the data locally on the computer in a text file. Each record may have a few hundred data points in a comma separated list.

another thing: When im doing a video and work with things that are outside of my white document (in the gray area) for instance things that are to be faded into the document and so on. These things also show up in outside of my video when i view it in my browser.
I have an xml file (externally saved) that is similar to the following:
[root]
[main]
[title]...[/title]
[Code]....
What I like to do is to get what's in [title] tag using HTTPservice, import it into Flex, and save it as array objects, and do the same thing for [content]. This way I can later refer the array object saying title[0] or content[2].
We have a Web login feature. We will offer Free calls to a large campaign.
Scenarios:
Because of free calls, we will offer a unique file to be downloaded and stored After a week or month we will call them and offer them our desktop application to scan and see how trusted, the user is If we dont find the same file again, we will never start business and more our own statistics Based on that report we want to do some follow ups campaign We can do this with cookies but we want user experience and trust analysis
Example: if you play a music in youtube.com, without notice your file is actually in /tmp/Flash....flv with lot of data on it.
Question: How can i do the similar using Flex/Flash from the web browser ?
I would like to force a pdf to be saved to disc rather than opening in a browser window? I am actually executing the command in flash in a button instance like this
on (release) {
getURL("http://website.com/pdfs/pdf_document.pdf", "_blank", "GET");
}
So how can I do this so it gives the pop up window of save to disc option?
This may be an ASP.NET issue too?

How do I save data from an AIR app to a .db file? I'm learning how to do an AIR app to take the strings from the user inputs textfield and generate a .db file that will be saved in 'My Documents' in the user's computer when the user clicked on the 'Save' button in the AIR app.
View 4 Repliesthere are 2 items on stage, one is the "button" with instance name myButton and a dynamic text field.so the action script goes this way...
myVar=0;
myButton.onRelease=function(){
myVar++;
trace("click");
}
the dynamic text is initially zero (0) and when i click the button it counts the clicks up to here every thing works right but...when .swf file previewed in html after clicks if refresh is pressed the number is going back to zero.i want to upload this file and use on webpage.
As part of a project I am working on, I would like to know if it would be possible to store some data in the actual flash file.
Let me make this clear now... I DO NOT WANT TO USE COOKIES!
I need to be able to save some data to the SWF itself, NOT to the local computer.
To be more specific, I need to store a set of URL's, but they also need to be added by the file, so...
Lets say i have a button that when you click, will make a text box appear, and you type in some urls such as:
[URL]
I then have a button that says "Save" and this will save these 3 URL's. I then would have the SAME SWF display these URL's (these will be URLs of Images). The important part is, these 3 URLs MUST BE READ by everyone who views the swf afterwards, so if I were to enter some URLS of Images, when someone else views the page, they will see the images that i entered. This is why it cannot be a cookie, as their computer will not see my cookie.
Even if the data cant be stored in the SWF itself, i will need some way to load this information where ever the swf is viewed.
I have a big dout running in my mind that can we save a xml file from an swf., that is i have done so many projects from which you can read contents from xml but can we write in to xml that is all is my dout.

View 1 RepliesI've made a little game in Flash, and I want it to have an online leaderboard. But after looking into it, it seems it's complicated saving a simple .txt file because of security, and the tutorials I have tried to use, using PHP to do it, have not worked, not even the excercise files. So I was wondering if anyone have either a working tutorial or code to save a simple string in a txt file, or know another way of saving data remotely?

View 1 RepliesI'm working in AS3 using Flash CS3 in the Mac OSX Leopard environment and would like to save data, to be later retrieved, in text files (probably xml). The data will be the result of the user interaction with the swf and the ideal location will be the directory (local or website) in which the swf file is located.
I know I could achieve the same effect using a database backend but want to make the swf file more portable, and don't really want to dedicate a database to this function. I've read a bundle of website comments on this but none seem to tidily do what I want, and I am not a whole lot wiser on the subject. The data will be user details and variables (e.g. scores) to carryover to when the user next accesses the game. What are my options (FileReference.save, SharedObjects, URLLoader, other )
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'm still relatively new to the actionscript 3.0 world. I have been given an assignment to make a drawing program that allows me to do many different things. One of the big things that it needs to do is be able to save a file with the drawing information and still be editable. After much searching I see that you can't just write sprites to a file and then they come back cleanly, obviously returns null. I also don't think that registerClassAlias won't work because I don't think it will allow me to convert things back to a sprite. I keep an array of sprites that allows me to undo/redo, and I originally figured I could either write the arrays or the individual sprites to the file, but that is not allowed either. Does anyone have any idea how I can possibly accomplish saving my drawing document and loading my document with keeping all of my sprites in my array separate from each other?
