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.

I've been searching all morning for some samples on how to read and write xml files.Here's what I have so far.My XML File called Call2Action.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Call2Action version="1.0" creationDate="2009-05-06">
<ProceraFixedImplantBridge>
<Yes>5</Yes>
[code]....
'String(xmlData[idx].Yes' is where I'm having a problem, can't figure out the syntax for declaring the element I want to read, plus I want to read the elements inside let's say <ProceraFixedImplantBridge>. I need to add that to the code.I want to increment the counter for yes or no, and write the file back.
I am a AS newbie, so just learning AS3 (I have heard that this is a good place to start!). I am trying to read and write to an XML file.I have learned how to read an xml file but for the life of me, I can not write to the file.I have found many many tutorials that I can't seem to get to work.This is my goal... I have a small flash game that after the user wins, their user name, date, time and score get entered into the xml file. So, I just want to append the new info into the existing xml file (all the files will reside in the same directory on my server). I have all the variables ready to send.. just need the way to do it!
I have a separate AS3 flash file that shows a listing of the xml file to display the scores to the users, I have a working version of this... but I may have to change this to match how the info is being stored into the xml.

reading and writing to textfiles. I need to save and load data to and from variables. I know how to read from text-files, but not how to write to them.

I am currently working on the 'Flash.utils.ByteArrays' and I am using writeobject() and readobject() to write and read byte Array objects. I also understand that, the objects are serialized and de-serialized as byte arrays through AMF formatting.
Since I am trying to write the object to a device(credit card reader) that doesn't supports AMF, I was wondering if there is any other way where I can still use the writeobject() and readobject() methods but can control the creation or reading through other 'byte array ' serializing and de-serializing format options if any.

var urlR:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "filewriter.php" );

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?

View 8 RepliesI turn to you for help, dear sweet Kirupa Forumites. First, let me explain the problem: I have a flash file reading an external text file for the content. Everything works perfectly for nearly everyone - you click a menu button, and the content text comes up fine. However, a couple of people have found that the text shows up as "undefined". I have checked the player versions of the people where it doesn't work, and it is the same as for those where it does work, so that ain't the problem.
I don't understand why it works perfectly for nearly everyone, but a small number of people have this "undefined" text problem. It seems to be a problem with loading the external text file, but I don't know why. I have a main flash movie, and load the text in the first frame, using the following:
var my_content = new LoadVars();
my_content.load("content.txt");
my_content.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
[Code]...
I then have a couple of dynamic text boxes in the main movie - one called ErrorText (for displaying an error message to the user) and one called ContentText (for displaying the content). I use an external menu swf which jumps to a specific frame in the main movie, depending on which button is clicked. Actionscript on the main movie frame for the first button does the following, with the other frames similarly configured:
ContentText.htmlText = my_content.content1;
stop();
My external text file is properly configured (content1=blah blah&content2=other blah blah) etc.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can solve this particular weird problem??
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?

View 1 RepliesQuick question. Ofcourse I know that you can read flash variables from a text file, which is formatted like: @var1=firstVariable@var2=secondVariable and so on.But is there a way to read normal text out of a textfile? Is it through the bytearray class?

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 am using flash 8 and I have succeeded so far in loading variables from a text file that contains around 20 lines and have the variables displayed in texboxes. The problem is that it goes directly to the last line and displays those variables. I need it to read the first line only and stop so I can add a "next" and "previous" buttons and be able to navigate through the database.
