Hi,

What methods could I use to save a xml generated in flash into the same directory as the swf file?

I know I can use “FileReference.save()” for flash player 10. But this has prompt window that appears and lets the user choose where to save. I just want it to automatically save in the directory of the flash file…

Any ideas?
