Many have asked about writing to a text file from flash.
Writing to the server side, uses php and/or xml and has been discussed here frequently.
But for movies running from a local disk it IS possible to write files locally, using internet explorer’s FileSystemObject. I made this text editor, in flash, as an example of how can be used.
Source is included. Unzip and its ready to go. Again, it only works in IE on windows, but it is still a nice trick to know.
pm me with questions.
