Writing to txt files

[enginious]

Hi,

I would be very interested to know if it is possible to write to text files using flash? I can read from them fine, but I want to be able to make flash the text editor as well, is this possible?

Any help is gratefully appreciated,

Cheers,
Sparky.

Flash alone cannot save to txt files, you will need a server side language such as PHP/Perl/CGI, then you call your server side script with a loadMovie function.

But there are several PHP and CGi tuts here at Actionscript.org. Check out the tuts section. I use PHP because it is a lot simipler to set up. Try these in the Intermediate level in the tut section here:
