flash actionscript:
Hey everybody,
I have a question for you. You've probably read about a thousand "how do I
save files to the hard drive in flash?" questions by now. We all know the short
answer: You can't.
HOWEVER, I know you can save to an external file using a javascript FSCommand.
In fact, I've done it. Only problem is, it only works in internet explorer, not
Firefox, and I want to see if I can find a way to do that. Attached is the html
code. Let me know if you have any tips!

<!--

"writeToFile" tutorial shown

var theFile = "nothing";
function setFileName(someFile) {
theFile = someFile;
}
function writeToDisk(writeString) {
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var a = fso.CreateTextFile(theFile, true);
a.WriteLine(writeString);
a.Close();
}
