[ramvenkat]

HI
can we create specific folder through flash application inorder to save a external file

for eg I have flash exe and i would like to save particular external file from the server to a local system in a pre determined location fixed from the EXE iam running

also i would like to take the same saved file from the saved location to run through the same exe

if still confusing
1)i have a flash exe EG. flashmagplayer.exe planning to download flashmag.exe from a server
2)then i must save the flashmag.exe to a specific folder set by me(eg mydocuments/myflashemag folder)
3)after downloading and saving...I will also like to fetch the flashmag.exe from the saved location through my flashmagplayer.exe

Hi,

As far as I know flash is not the best with creating such functionality, for offline applications which use text files for data sotrage I have always had to use 3rd party tools like swftool, jugglor etc which allow offline database integration, text file read,write etc.

Not sure 100% on what you want to do.....
You have a flash exe trying to download another exe which you want to place in a specific location on the users machine?

If this is correct your going to need to make an installer which will do this for you, there are a few out there which you can quite easily find googling... I think flashtools also has this functionality.

If you are running a flash exe/swf on a server then you can make .net /php scripts which will write to anywhere on the local machine (useful for kisok appz).
