flash data integration: Hi I need to pass and update data from a swf to an embedded loaded swf and
between embedded swfs. The easiest way I can see is to put the data in a file
(very small amount of data) and read from and write to the file (XML would be
OK). However I cannot see how to write a file without firing off a browser
window. Reading a file is fine. It is the writing that is a problem. Can
someone point me in the right direction for this? It would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

In case anyone is interested, I solved this by using _root variables in the
container swf which can be accessed by the contained swf as long as lockroot is
not set. This might not work in all cases (e.g. if contained swf needs to
access its own root). loadvars would also work but only after the movie has
loaded, which was too late for me. Oher solutions seem to involve going via the
server which is long-winded. I'd still like to hear of better ways of doing it.
Thanks
