View 3 RepliesI have an external file highscores.txt, which my game opens. It finds the 3 variables in it and compares them to the score that the user got and determines if they beat it or not. If they beat the high score, I want it to re-write the variables in the file, which are "name", "seconds", and "minutes". Here is how I open the file and get the data.
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("highscore.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {

View 1 RepliesHow do you write to external .txt files so that you can read from them like this;
Code:
on (release) {
loadText = new loadVars();[code]....
then there would be a text file called hiscore.txt and it would have
Code:
hiScore; 28000
for example
XML is really cool, I'm amazed at how easy it is to use and what it can achieve. what the easiest method of adding data into an XML file via PHP is. I'm somewhat proficient with PHP (and MySQL), just not too much. For instance we have an XML file like so.
Code:
<news>
<item>
<heading>This is the heading!</heading>
[CCode]....
So how would we go about adding item elements (of course containing headings and content) into our XML file via PHP? Are there any good libraries that do that or built in functions?

View 1 Repliescan you write and modify XML files using server-side Actionscript? I've been going through Adobe's Server-side Actionscript reference, reading up on the File class that lets you modify files on the server, and the server-side XML class that lets you read and 'understand' XML data, but can you put them together and essentially edit XML files on the server?

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?

I want to save some values from a variable and reload that values when i run flash again.
Basically, I am wondering if there is a way to write to a text document on the users system in order to store variables and/ or XML nodes with attributes.
These documents would, in theory, allow the Flash movie to remember it's states so when a user returns to the site, or tries to save what they had open, the text file could be used to initialize and display the "saved" state.
Wondering if anyone knows any resources for this or even if anyone out there has done something like this. Seems like it should be able to but may'be not.

BTW I have not externalised my script/classes as its been a while since i did this and I'm still thinking timelines like AS2 so please forgive that part.
