Is there a way, using only flash to write text, from a text area on a Flash
document, to a txt file

I know I can do it using PHP, ASP, Perl and other seprate programs, but is
there anyway that Flash could do it on its own

From within a browserenvironment; NO (not without serverside scripting).
From within a projector: NO (unless using a third party app). Depending on
the amount of data and on what you want to achieve; the Shared Local Object
might be of interest to you.

Pffff, ANOTHER thing ActionScript can't do.

Hi,
In flash 5 there was an option in the .exe-file.
But it was taken out because of virusses that where made with flash 5.
Flash 5 was able to acces everything and instal and exec files on your
computer.
So also create virus, and execute them.
I once seen a example that you can do cookies, but i don't know how that
done anymore.
Maybe you can find a tut in a searchengine. Flash and cookie.

good luck.

It isn't some kind of mistake: Flash isn't meant to be a general-purpos
application development environment. Just as Java in its applet mod
can't write to the hard drive except for a restricted "sandbox", Flas
movies are very limited in what they can do *on purpose* to reduce th
security implications of loading the movies in web pages

Hi Carl and kglad,

Please keep the information about the topic and keep the forum rules in
mind.
Don't start attacking eachother.
This is not nice to read when people trying to follow the real topic.

question is often not helpful to them while a little extra information may
be helpful. but maybe not.

Well after reading this I come to the point that I also need more help. I have
searched the forum for a way to write a txt file from flash without much help.
So is it possible? MX 20004 Professional claims to be designed to create
application and writing to a file is an important part of being an application..
I can use coldfusion, XML, etc to interact with my application on the server
but I NEED to create a simple txt file as well. CAN IT BE DONE??
