Does any know if it is possible to update an XML document using flash?  
I’d like to do this without using PHP or anyother server side script; just from actionscript to xml.

For example is the original xml file was used as a config file:

**Code:**  
\<users\>  
\<username\>perfecthill\</username\>  
\</users\>

…and from flash I’d like to change the value to:

**Code:**  
\<users\>  
\<username\>someone\</username\>  
\</users\>

Can this be done?!

…and if this can’t be done natively, can I update a text file for a similar reason?
