Modifying/Creating external files from Flash 8 program

programming flash

Hi!

I was wondering if it is possible to create or modify an external file (i.e. a .xml file) from within a Flash 8 program using ActionScript.

Thanks!

Nope.

(refers to Flash 5, but still applies)

You would have to use an external server side script for that. Flash itself cannot write or modify files.
