FlashLite 2.1 - Save data on mobile (write text file)

[vinayak.kadam]

Hello everyone!

I have a kind of requirement where I need to save a text file on mobile. Text will come from standalone FlashLite SWF and will be written to a text file. Please let me know that along with FlashLite, which technology will help me to achieve this functionality!

Thanks in advance for your kind consideration!

Use Shared Object instead ?

Or you need to convert your SWF to Executable to access OS features like writing files.
> Use Janus-Flash for Windows Mobile
> Use Kunerilite for Symbian

Here is the code for Janus-Flash :
ssp.filesystem.File.appendText("HelloWorld !", "myFile.txt");

Thanks for your quick reply Thomas.

Actually, I cannot use shared objects because I want some other application to use the info of text file.

So, Janus-Flash seems a good option for now. I will lokk forward to use it....in between, can you please put some light on the communication that happens between Janus-Flash or some few links about the same...

Thanks once again!

Okay :-)

Janus-Flash encapsulate a SWF file in an executable EXE file allowing system calls to Windows OS.

Check this forum : http://www.janus-flash.com/forum/index.php?board=15.0

You just need to install Janus-Flash as a Flash Component,
And use this code :
import ssp.application;
ssp.filesystem.File.appendText("HelloWorld !", "myFile.txt");

Compile your SWF (Flash Lite 2.1 only !)
Then
Compile your EXE using Janus Installer > Pocket PC

Launch exe on your phone, this will work.
