I think you need a server-side scripting language, like PHP, ASP, or ColdFusion to do that.

Howdy and Welcome... :)

That example won't work in FMX 2004... The fscommand() function was working in F5, but not in FMX or FMX 2004...
You will need to use the third party projector tools such as Flash Studio Pro or SWF Studio to save the local file... Go check their sites out...

Well... Let me clarify what I have said... That command will work if the user's Flash Player version is 5... It won't work if the user uses Flash Player 6 or above... It doesn't matter whether you use F5 to build your program... It goes with the Flash Player that your movie is being played...

I suggest you make a sample to see if the key functionality works on your audience's computer before you go on any further... :)
