Hi.  
By clicking a button in Flash I want to open a text file in Notepad and thus be able to edit and save it.  
Whatever i try to do, the text file only opens in the web browser and I have to right click and press “View Source” to proceed to Notepad.

Anyone have a clue how to load the file into Notepad directly?

Thanks
