flash data integration : Saving from Flash into .xml documents

Hello,

can someone help me, please, with the following scenario:

I have data (info about users) stored in an XML document ( <datapacket> <row
id="... bla bla bla ... /> </datapacket> ) , which I am successfully connecting
to my Flash application using an XMLConnector, DataSet, binding and all that
stuff. I want my application to give the possibility of creating new users
through a Register form. I did the Data Integration XUpdate tutorial (Update
The Timesheet), but it only goes as far as updating the DataSet. I need to know
how to update the XML file itself.

Basically, my question is: do I have to use server scripts (ASP, ColdFusion,
PHP, etc.) to update my external data file - in this case a simple XML file? Or
Flash can do that directly. Isn't there something in ActionScript like
fprintf() in C? This way I could easily update my XML file. But, I would rather
prefer to hear about a solution how to do this within Flash.

Thank you.

you have to use serverside scripting, and of course you have to have write
access to the server via http
