To Whom It May Concern:

I am seeking a procedure to transfer a variable from flash 5 to a text file, so  
that I obtain the the content of the variable and retrieve it by another  
movie.

Sincerely,

Kevin

Flash itself cannot write data to a text file, so you’ll have to use a server-side script like PHP or ASP. Run a search, this is a common question.
