I have my XML file in this format  
\<productvals tinterval=“20” \>  
\<set name=“San” value=“65” /\>  
\</productvals\>

I want to overwrite this file each time in flash  
I tried but got problem in double quotes and new line  
How can I overcome them?  
var fileContents = “\<productvals tinterval=”;  
fileContents=fileContents+tinterval;

I just want to know if it would be possible to write the whole file in one go and what should be the content of fileContents variable which I am writing to the file using php  
loadVarsText.load("\<A href=“[http://localhost/writeFile.php?&stuffToWrite="+fileContents"](http://localhost/writeFile.php?&stuffToWrite=%22+fileContents%22)\>[http://localhost/writeFile.php?&stuffToWrite=](http://localhost/writeFile.php?&stuffToWrite=)”+fileContents);  
Thanks!
