Hi,

I have been getting pretty frustrated with something that I think should be way easier; basically a “notes” page on a guide app.

I’ve tried a number of options, sharedobject, xml, and junking up input/dynamic text in pretty awful ways; have also tried to “save on close” in AIR code.

Can anyone help me down the right path so when I port and test to iOS it will work…I’m not good in a flex/flash builder environment, as I am in flash 95% of the time.

Thanks!
