I own a small cyber cafe with 10 networked comps.
We have over 200 members now and it is getting hard to keep track of exp dates.
I have created a simple login which checks a txt file on the server.
My problem is that I don’t know how to write to the txt file with new members and passwords.
I hope you know where I am coming from:)
any ideas ??

Hello,
I really don’t know how to do that…I’m still learning my actionscript. One way that I can think of, would be to send the variables via email to your program. I suggest posting in the Flashkit ActionScript forum. I’m not great at this material, but know many people in that forum are. The URL for that is: [http://board.flashkit.com/board/forumdisplay.php?forumid=30](http://board.flashkit.com/board/forumdisplay.php?forumid=30)
I hope that helped. If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to reply back.
