Flash :: Saving A Txt File

Weird .as Bug -- When Saving .as File, Flash Forces 'save As', Then Creates .TMP File
has anybody seen this???

when trying to save an .as file (the file already existed), instead of it being saved, i get a 'save as' dialog from Flash

if i click 'save', i get a prompt saying the .as file already exists and do i want to overwrite it...

if i click 'yes', the file is saved and then in the directory where the .as file is saved i get something like this, Trace.as~RF11025e.TMP

the .as file in question, Trace.as, i had first saved on my PC (windows 2000), i had then saved the file to a borrowed laptop (windows xp), and now saved back to my PC...

this is when i started getting this weird bug

does anybody know what's going on???

Saving An XML File With A Certain Passed File Name To PHP
hello.
i used a kirupa tutorial to save an xml file.

AS:
var xml_file = "xmlFileName.xml";
var server_file = "phpFileName.php";
my_Xml.sendAndLoad(server_file, xml_file);

PHP:
<?php $filename = "xmlFileName.xml"; ******************
$raw_xml = file_get_contents("php://input");
$fp = fopen($filename, "w");
fwrite($fp, $raw_xml);
fclose($fp);
?>

So I need to save that my_Xml object to different files... with different file name of course. So the xmlFileName changes all the time inside my flash.
Now.. what can I change in the PHP file... so the $filename receives the value from flash?

example 1:
xml_file = "ex1.xml"
my_Xml.sendAndLoad(server_file, xml_file);
xml_file = "ex2.xml";
my_Xml.sendAndLoad(server_file, xml_file);

at the end of this... on my server must appear 2 files: ex1.xml and ex2.xml.

PS: when I run the first script, a blank IE page with the name of the php file appears... how can I get rid of it?

thank you!

Saving Changes To Swf File...
Hello,

I'm trying to see if this can be done in Flash. What I would like to do is have a graph, that can be manipulated by other users. (ex. areas that can be dragged and dropped, and boxes that display different heights when clicked). Once all of the changes have been made to the graph, I want the user to be able to save these changes for future use, if they reopen the swf file at a later date.

Can this be done?

Thanks!

Saving Xml To File
Not sure if this is a Flash question, ASP question or a PHP question....

I have created a xml based guestbook and am having problems posting a new entry to the xml file.

I found a tutorial at http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml_guestbook.htm and so have been going off that.

I have attached my .as file which I think is ok.

The issue I am running into is that I need to use asp instead of php to physically write to the xml file. And since the tutorial only shows how to do this in php I am having trouble converting this to asp. I don't know if the issue is that flash isn't passing the data, or if my script isn't correctly requesting the data.

One problem is finding an asp equivalent to $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Here is the php script

PHP Code:

<?php
$file = fopen("guestbook.xml", "w+") or die("Can't open XML file");
$xmlString = $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA;
if(!fwrite($file, $xmlString)){
print "Error writing to XML-file";
}
print $xmlString."
";
fclose($file);
?>

and here is the asp script I tried to convert the php to

Code:

DIM objFSO, xmlFile, xmlData, objFileStream
SET objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
xmlFile = "Guestbook.xml"
xmlData = Request.Form

IF NOT objFSO.FileExists(Server.MapPath(xmlFile))THEN
'I figure it is best to error check first
Response.Write("Sorry, the file " & xmlFile & " does not exist.")
Else
'We have a file!
SET objFileStream = objFSO.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath(xmlFile), 2)
objFileStream.Write(xmlData)
objFileStream.Close
SET objFileStream = NOTHING

'send the xml back to Flash where it is received by our receiver object
Response.Write(xmlData)

END IF

SET objFSO = NOTHING

Saving To An External .txt File
hi,

I wish to save some variables to a relative .txt, .ini (or anything else someone might care to recommend) file, so that the variable can be called into use the next time the file is opened (user name/ highscores etc...).

The project is for distribution over cd-rom, to be either installed on the host computer or run from CD with the variables stored on the host machine. I therefore can't use serverside solutions such as perl or cgi.

thanx,

geepers.

Is their a way that flash can save to a .txt file on a server????

Saving To A Text File
Hello,
I am trying to create a project that saves variables to a text file. Flash is able to read data in from text files, but not write to them. I understand there is a work around using the "exec" command. I have only seen it with Flash 4, does it work with Flash 5? I have seen a couple variations of this......

Code:
fscommand ("exec", "command.com" add chr(9) add "/c" add chr(9) add "echo" add chr(9) add "text3=" add TypeVar add ">c:content.txt");

Code:
fscommand ("exec", "c|: extsavesaver.exe" add chr(9) add variable1 add chr(9) add variable2);
I am looking at a couple tutorials from here, but I cannot seem to get them to work.

Saving To An External File. PLEASE HELP

Saving Variables On .txt File
I need to save some variables into a text file on c:windows emp I have an old tutorial for flash4, that uses FScommand to achieve this, but in c: not c:windows emp. I tried to change the path, and although the msdos window pops-up, no file is created. How can I fix this? I attached the .fla tutorial

PS: the Flashkit "new" search sucks and blows in the same time. When it actually returns something (not very often) it is so irrelevant it makes no point wasting your time looking through the results. The old board had a perfect search function. I know my question was answered 100 times before, yet I cannot find one relevant result. Any help is appreciated

Fscommand For Saving File
hey all,

i'm working on a project that would be run in a projector.

Now, i need to save a file (with some data the user inputs) to the hard drive in a folder the user should be able to choose.

Thanks already.

Saving Vars To A .txt File
Hey hey,

Trying to get some actionscript on the go to save a variable to an external text file. I managed to get my var to load from my external file using LoadVars.load.

Can I use the same function to .send my vars to the file?

I came across some documentation earlier that claims FScommand will not work with OS X, and I certainly couldn't get it to work.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Saving Abd Loading From Txt File
Have you ever read and write to an external file in flash? E.g if
variables are contained in this text file and loaded in?
I can find one way but all the variables need to be on one line in the
text file like so:

VARIABLE1=00&VARIABLE2=01&

So:

VARIABLE = NAME
00 = VALUE
& = SEPARATER

Bit messy though if you have loads of variables, esp if someone else
wants to edit it.
Any ideas? I know XML can be used, but not the easiest!

Saving To An External File
I was wondering if there was a way to save something as an external file. To give more insight, here is my situation:

I have a flash document which a user inputs text(Dynamic text box) to create a type of document for themselves so that they can save it by clicking on a drop down menu and selecting Save. I know how to do everything there, except the "Save" part(pretty much the whole thing ). Is there a way to directly save a file as a certain name, and type, but, when clicking on "Save" it will open another window inside my flash document which will have a Dynamic text box that will ask the file name and extention, and when you finally click OK in that box it will save to a file? Or is there another way? Or is there any way at all?

I'm using Flash MX.

Thanks a lot.

Saving To A File (Flash 5 + Xml)

Thanks for any help

Saving To Text File
I am almost out of patience (and time)and resorting to the seeking HELP! I am trying to save variables back out to a text file. I have no problem loading the varibles (using LoadVars). However, when I go to save it get Sh**. I do not receive any errors and all seems well except that nothing is saved. I have tried saveandLoad(), the fscommand("save"...) as well as shared objects all with the same result.. No change to the external text file.
I have pulled every example I can find from Flash Bibles to the various forums, yet they all talk about the above methods and how they 'should' work.
What is it that I am missing or not doing that would prevent any one or all the above methods from not working. Can anybody provide me with insite or better yet an that works (100%) so that I can see if it is me or something else?

File Saving Problem: Mac OS X
Hi,

My cousin sent me a flash document. It was only 144kb when he sent it to me. So I add a little more to it, and I also insert a song, which is 5 megs big. So after I am done, I save it. And while I am sending it to him, the file became a whopping 42.3 megs!! What the?? So I deleted the song from the document to see if it brings the size down. I saved it, went to Get Info, and the size did not change. So I delete the entire contents of the document, saved it, and checked the size again, and the size still did not change. I deleted the flash preferences, and did not help.

I tried with a blank document, inserted the same 5mb song, and I did save as. The document is a 38.1mb file. This has never happened before. Any ideas whats going on?

Thanks.
