Sorry... stupid question...

Is the sentence below the same thing as your question if I rephrase???

What is the simplest way to write a variable to a text file???

I am not good at that post/get thing... So... I'm asking again... :)

php script... (or other script).
But i think that flash have a function/object to write to a text file...
I THINK !

:)

I look if it really exist !

[xxlm]

server side, use php:

client side use MMSave(target,filename); :

use loadVariables on a button instance.
loadVariables("myTextFileWithPath.txt",this,"Post");

Are you sure simail? This is not to load var from a CGI script or text file...

What glennn want is to write on a text file isn't it? And you're way don't (I think)...
:(

sorry thought i better be a bit more specific. the variable will be loaded into an input box first and then posted, is that what you want?

Don't see what you want to do with... If you want to use loadVariables or loadVariablesNum U have to link a CGI script in which you have the script to write in the txt file... And if you want to send flash var to this script - so it can write this var in the text file - you don't need to put them into a input/dynamic textbox. Your var have to be on the same path as your loadVariables targeted mc... That's all

But I really don't see how you want it working without CGI script with the loadVariables method...:confused:

So the final answer, as xxlm pointed out, is that you need a server-side scripting language (PHP, CGI, ASP) if this is going to be something on the 'net. If this is going to be something run on a local machine, then you can use the MMSave thing.
