Opening Files : Saving Files
Hi all, does Actionscript support the creation of simple text files?
For example, I want to create a new text file if one doesn't already exist, and then write to the file if the user chooses to save--just like using a streamreader etc.
If Actionscript supports these methods, could you point me to the documentation?
Thanks
Actionscript 2.0

Saving Html Files As Cfm Files
In older versions of Flash it was possible to tell the html publish setting to be saved with a cfm extension. I am having a hard time seeing how that can be done in the new version CS3. I go into the publish setting and give the file a cfm extension but when it exports it looks like this, ",html.cfm" it's just a pain to have to go back and change the extension after the fact. Am I missing something in the new version?
Thanks,

Linking Files - Opening Files
I am a novice on a steep learning curve!
I have just taken over a project with lots of flash/swf files which I think probably should have been setup as one file with many scenes. Is it possible to link from one file to another or will I have to start from scratch and copy and paste assets etc.
Also is it possible to create an action script for a 'button' to open a PDF file from within the movie similar to opening a URL?

Saving .pdf Files
Hello everyone,
I'm working on a cd presentation in flash and I need to be able to allow the user to save a .pdf file and a .xls file to their computer when they click on a button.
I also wanted to know if you could launch the file in the application from flash also, for example a user might click on the button of the mac version of a pdf, and it would open the pdf up in acrobat right from flash.
Are both of these possible to do? If so, can someone please help me. it's really urgent!!!
Thanks

Saving .swf Files
I have had my kool moves for a year or more and recently it won't let me edit a file and then save it with the change. It seems to change it and save it, but when I go to upload it to my server, it doesn't reflect the change. As well as it no longer saves as a webpage. What should I do to fix this?

Saving FLA Vs SWF Files Qs ?
I've completed my Movie and now I wish to Imbed it into another Format. I already know how to do this but I am having a little problem. Since I spent a lot of time revamping the structure of my Movie, I found that I created an enormous amount of Images & Buttons that I was no longer using. After I Deleted these unnecessary Images and basically streamlined the Movie, I Saved it with a Different Name. Now when I went to the other Format I mentioned to Import the SWF Files, they were no were to be found. My FLA Files are there but not the swf files. So can someone explain to me why this happened and how I can locate or create an swf file for my newly renamed Flash Movie?

Best Practices?: Saving Files Throughout The Day
Please feel free to recommend a better thread if necessary for this post...
In timeline code, as I developed a project I would save my files with incremented fla file names a few times throughout the day, generally just before I was about to break it again as I worked on a new part.
But, as I move more code into external .as files, especially in 3.0, I'm not sure how to keep my "safe" versions. I can't increment the file name, because the file name is an integral part of the structure. I'm finding that I'm no longer saving myself the "Oh crap, how did I break this thing?!" back-ups because I just don't have a good method of incrementally saving my work throughout my day or milestones.
Does anyone have some suggestions on how they work on a multiple day/week project while keeping a logical back-up a few times a day or whenever they are at a functional milestone?

I want to create a button for the user to click and then have a choice to save or open file (like PDF or Word file).
i have the following code:
ActionScript Code:

abc.doc will sit on the CD ROM.
When I click on the button, it opens a browser window and tries to go to google.com.

[AIR]Saving Files To SharedObject
I am doing a mp3 player like a Winamp
I can get names and urls of droped files.Then I use Sound class to play them. There is no problem.
But when user close my player and open again, the files must be on the list... I thought to use Shared Objects.
This my droped file code:
ActionScript Code:
var file_list:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("files");d = e.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT) as Array;file_list.data.sounds = d.toString();
You see it is array.No problem here.Then my first codes:
ActionScript Code:
var file_list:SharedObject = SharedObject.getLocal("files");if (file_list.data.sounds!=null) { d=file_list.data.sounds.split(",") trace(d);}
In output:
Code:
[object File],[object File],[object File],[object File]
Yes you think there is no problem.But yes there is I can't get the files names or urls.The error like this:
Quote:
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "[object File]" to flash.filesystem.File.

First of all can we save our files? If yes how? Thanks...

Saving Files From Pc To Mac In Flash 5
i have a pc and i made a flash presentation and i publish the swf and
the mac and pc projectors.everything works fine but the mac projector doesn't
and that the really only thing i need.
my question is : can i publish a mac projector on pc and burn a CD with it
and open it on a mac computer? if so what are the procedures? or do i need
to open the flash (Fla)file on a mac and then publish the mac projector?
it looks that the mac projector i made on pc is somehow read by the mac as
a compressed file but it doesn't work.
i don't know much about flash and this is probably a stupid question.
please help and i apologies in advance for any lexical mistakes.
thankyou,thankyou,thankyou

In Need Of Help In Saving And Reading Text Files
I have sat and struggled for days on trying to get a perl script (file is a .pl) to save Flash variables to a text file and then have flash be able to read the file later on. I can't get the perl script to save outside the cgi-bin or the Flash file to read from a text file within the cgi-bin. As you can tell I know little about perl, and I am absolutely out of ideas. If anybody could help me, I would be so gracious. All the script has to do is to take variables from a flash file save it to a txt file, allow for future alteration, and then allow the flash file to read the text file. This has probably already been answered somewhere.
Thanks so much to whoever can help me.

Saving Multiple Text Files
I'm developing an executable flash-based editable presentation in Flash 5 to compete with Powerpoint. It's pretty simple, the user can edit the presentation, and change the text, and the data in the included charts. The user can then save the data into an external text file using
Code:
fscommand ("save", "data.txt");
Now, we would like to add the option to save multiple versions of the variables. That's easy. But we also want Flash to be able to save information about the versions, specifically a name and a date created.
The easiest way I can think of is to create a seperate text file that contains only the name and modified dates of the files, which flash can use. Now, here's the question: can I use the "save" FScommand and Load Variables to deal with a small portion of the variables, or do they only save all data, and replace all variables in the file?

Loading/saving Ext Files From Flash Mx
Hi all,
I've been looking around for a while to see how to load external files into flash, and how to save flash content to a hard drive. But the solutions only seem to be for txt files. I was wondering if it was possible to have a word document or a PDf loaded into a flash movie, and then have it so that someone could save them to their hard drive?
Is this possible? Or would I have to learn some advanced actionscript, perl, etc...?
I'm creating a edu-tainment flash game in which I want to give the users the opportunity to not only print, but to save stuff as well.
Many thanks if you can help.

[MX04] Saving To External Files?
Yeah... there's a thread already about writing to external .txt or similar, and i found this but it didn't work for me (status: failed save).
I almost gave up hope... then I saw this meaning there could be hope for me!
You see what I'm doing isn't web/browser based =)
Unfortunately I still don't have a clue how to save to an external file, I can load, just not save.
Let me tell you my project. I've made a game, all done and complete. It's decent but not quire finished, and works on external map files and stuff. I've also made a MAP EDITOR for it, and it all works fine and generates a final string that can be read by the game in a map file.
ALL I NEED IS A WAY TO WRITE THIS STRING INTO A FILE THROUGH THE FLASH!!!! :S
Thanks in advance for your help and stuff.
