Flash :: Display And Then Write To Txt File?

Write Or Change Text(XML)file From A Swf-file
An swf-movie that loads and reads a text( XML)-file from the web thats what I did so far. My Question is now: is there a possibility to save an XML on the local hard-Drive to use it offline? I know this sharedObject-Thing but what I want is a textFile on its own, so that the User sees it in the same folder with the flash
movie and has no problems to copy them both together to his offline Computer.
Any help would be very nice. Thanks

Write XML File
Dear guys,
I need update a XML file, exactly I have to change some attributes.
At this moment the procedure that I've wrote is explained below:

FILE XML (miofile.xml)

<principale>
<progetto_1 attributo_01="animale_01" attributo_02="animale_02"
attributo_03="animale_03" ></progetto_1>
</principale>

FILE PHP (miofile.php)

<?
$fp = fopen("miofile.xml","w");
$prova = $mioXML;
fwrite($fp,$prova);
fclose($fp);
?>

NOW THE ACTION IN FALSH (after the download about miofile.xml):

on (release) {
mioXML = new XML (provaXML);
mioXML.firstChild.childNodes[1].removeNode();
nuovo = mioXML.createElement ("progetto_01");
nuovo.attributes.attributo_03 = testo_03;
nuovo.attributes.attributo_02 = testo_02;
nuovo.attributes.attributo_01 = testo_01;
nuovo.appendChild(attributo);
mioXML.firstChild.appendChild(nuovo);
loadVariablesNum ("miofile.php", 0, "POST");
}

QUESTION: to update an attribute you must delete all node and recreate it writing
all attributes, or exist another method maybe easier?

where testo_01 testo_02 e testo_03 are input fields ...
send and the result is:

<principale>

<progetto_01 attributo_01="mucca" attributo_02="topo"
attributo_03="cane"></progetto_01></principale>

HERE THE ISSUE:

1- the slash --> (es. attribute_01="mucca")
I don't Know because create them( ); then with slashes the document will be a non valid XML

2- the right method to send all should be using send() and not with loadVariable; but
If I try with send() (es. mioXML.send( miofile.php ) don't write anything.... maybe is wrong the concept of PHP file?

But aboveall is the procedure right?
In particular about the PHP file, I write the file TXT using PHP, but I don't Know if is the same for XML

Thanks in advance

Possible To Write To A .TXT File?
Instead of loading text from a .TXT file I am trying to figure out how to write to one. Does anyone have any ideas?

I'm using FLASHMX

I have a site that is utilizing .TXT files as the content source. But I get nervouse about having my sales people sales people, with 18% computer knowledge, updating these files without disrupting the code. I figure I could make an interface that they could input there info into. It would update the TXT files, thus the site would be updated aswell. Without them every having to look at code.

Write To File.
Hello again everyone,

Stright out what I am trying to do: write to a .txt, or .dat file.

2 methods just came to me but dont know if, 1. They will work, and 2. How to do them....

method 1: write a c++ program to write the variables to a txt or dat file.

method 2: save another flash projector(.exe) as flash 5, and target and use that movie in this movie in which I am trying to save variables to a txt or dat.

I do have some doubts though... In method 1, I'm not sure how to approach getting the flash variables to transfer into my c++ program...Any Ideas?!...

In method 2, I know that there is a way to save my movei as a flash 5 .fla... the question is, Will it recognize it as a flash 5 swf and exe... and if so, will it have that same undocumaented save function?

Thanks for any feedback that comes from all of you..

Peace,
~Bill

[F8] Write To An XML File
Is it possible to load in an xml file and edit it using a swf movie

the idea is that i've created a slideshow for a client and it is completely dynamic but to use it for a different slideshow, they have to edit the xml file, which can be difficult not to mess up the file, so i want to create another flash movie that they can edit the xml file from easily without the chance of messing anything up

thanks

Can AS3 Do File Write?
I've always used URLLoader and PHP for this, but can AS3 natively do file writes, either server or locally?

I was going through netstream today, and apparently that can do file writes both locally and to a Flash media server. Is there anything similar to this, say for writing text or xml files?

Thanks.

How To Write An XML File?
I am a newbie to actionscript and I was hoping someone might help with this.
I am trying to load an xml file into my movie and then when a button is pressed write the xml file.

Here's the code (I've put this code on a new layer, first frame):
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace('data.xml loaded. Contents are: '+this.toString());
}
};
xmlData.load("data.xml");

The code for the button :

on(press){
var event = 1;
trace(event);
var element:XMLNode = xmlData.createElement("element1");
xmlData.appendChild(element);
trace(xmlData);
}
Practically what I want is that the value of the variable event gets written in the XML file.
Can someone help me?

Thank you!

No Db So Write To Text File?
Hi

In my flash movie i have letters placed all over the shop. The idea is that people can drag the letters and make their own sentences/words etc.I'd like for visitors to mess around with the letters and then click a button to continue.

This same button then sends the current x and y coordinates for each letter to a script of some kind (cgi would be nice and easy to set up on my server) that writes to a text file.

When the movie is revisited it loads the variables stored in the text file and positions the letters accordingly.

2 questions:
1.Anyone know how i can write this text file from flash? I now i can send variables using POST or GET to a script - but where do i start looking for such a script?
2.How do i change the values of the variables (within the text file) so that they are numbers and not strings. It's currently seeing letterXpos="10" when it should be letterXpos=10

cheers - Mike

Any thoughts?

Hi.

The answer to this is probably simple, and I probably deserve to go right to the Newbies area, but here goes anyway:

Thankx

Is It Possible To Write A Txt File From Flash?
Here's my dilema: need to write a config file for a flash interface so that when flash loads up, it grabs the vars from the file. The thing is, I want to be able to create the config file from a seperate flash movie.
Is this possible??
I'm sure there is some kind of combination of actionscript and XML that will do this, but since I am fairly new to XML I'm not sure how to approach this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can Flash Write To A File?
G'Day all,

Write Variables To A File
I have a game: (Flashteroids) that has an online hall of fame. The scores are currently handled by a PHP script that inserts scores depending on their relative values, they are then stored in text files on the server, basically as two arrays (names[1-20] and scores[1-20]).

I want to do more with the scores and sort them myself in flash, I've got this part working but now want to save them to text files ideally bypassing the php file.

- Is it possible to use loadvariables to write variables to a text file?

- If not, how can I write a simple PHP script that just reads in and then writes back to a text file?

Thanks,
Adrian
