Hello!
First of all, we are novice learners and would like to thank Kirupa for all the resources, help and tutorials they have provided.
I and my friends have been developing a project and would like to know how we can store data on the server. We have an array we need to store on the server along with some additional data and are thinking to use XML for storing. We found the save() method of FileReference but that seems to be prompting the user for location, which we don’t need. We need the data we have (say, a long string) to be stored in our specified location on the server without prompting or displaying any dialogue boxes.I have tried glancing at Adobe documentations but they were of least help.
As Kirupa.com and the awesome community have helped us understand many concepts, we find this place the best place to knock. Following are the options we thought could work:
- Storing data in XML and saving it to server
- We have our data in XML in AS3. We don’t know how we can store that data onto the server.
- Can we use URLLoader?
- I tried glancing at it and found that we can send data as POST method to PHP that will retrieve and store it onto the server.
We would like your help to know which option (if we missed something cool, do notify us) would be better in the situation. If possible, link the resources we can use or preferably explain to us the working.
Thanks in advance,
gcttirth
