Error opening URL "file:///D|/Flash%20Lite%202.0/writeToFile.txt"

and do you have a text file in that location named writeToFile.txt?

it doesn't create a text file for you, it just writes to it.

[pilot1]

yes I do.

[mcmcom]

and its in the Flash Lite 2.0 directory, and its allowed to be written and executed? That error means that it cannot find the file, plain and simple. So double check the name and location.

[pilot1]

every thin is okay with the file name and directory.

[mcmcom]

well i dont know then.
that error clearly states that it cannot find the file.
Perhaps you should try moving it to the same folder as the .swf and just reference it by the filename and not the path and filename.

hth,

I tried to move the fla and the txt file to D:\
but still nothing is written to the file
can you think of any other way.

[mcmcom]

can you post an example?
did you try using "GET" instead of "POST"

[pilot1]

try it in your PC and see.

[mcmcom]

is that a smart ass response?
this is free advice dude, if you dont want my help you dont need it.

WHEN I used GET insted:

Sorry but I Replied with:
try it in your PC and see.

before I SEE your post:
can you post an example?
did you try using "GET" instead of "POST"
