Using flash to write to a text file

programming flash
1

So here is what i’m working with. I built a quiz for teachers to use so all they would have to do is edit a text file and then flash would read the file and generate the quiz based off it. The problem i have is that a few of the teachers are having problems editing the text file in the correct way. I wrote this flash movie to save the variables to a text file. I read somewhere that fscommand - save dosent work anymore. Is there some other way to have it write a text file to the local machine? The swf would be saved on their machines.


function exportVar() {
    for (var i = 0; i<plantArray.length; i++) {
        scientificName* = plantArray***;
        commonName* = plantArray*[i+1]*;
        fileName* = plantArray**[i+1];
    }
    fscommand("save","plantInfo.txt")
}
