Hi to my Haiku Masters,  
Guys i would like to know if is it possible to CREATE .txt files into a predefined directory from inside flash instead of creating them outside flash and then do the READ/WRITE operations

It’s possible but you need a php or cgi file to mediate between the flash file and txt file.

and along with PHP or CGI you need to be on a server that lets you CHMOD your files so they become readable, writeable, and executable (usually CHMOD 777).
