Updating and XML file without server connection

programming web dev
1

[size=2][size=2]Using MX 2004 Pro Data components I am reading in an xml file which is displayed in a data grid. But for the life of me I can work out how to write new amended data grid back to the XML file with out using a server connection.

Strange because its easy reading in data but seems impossible to write this data back out!!

Not strange, Flash can’t write files! You’ll need PHP/ASP/JSP/CF to do that!

Is there any way of either writing to a text file or better an XML all locally on my hard drive?

I still can hear eyezberg’s echo… :smiley:

You do need server side scripting languages to do that if your file is on the web… and you need third party projector tools such as Flash Studio Pro, SWF Studio, Screenweaver or JTool if your file is for the projector…
