Write data to file

programming flash
1

I know this has been asked but I’m not finding a direct, simple answer to my question in the archives.

Very simply: In AS3, can I write data to a file? I have composed a quiz and I need to get a user’s result out of the .swf and into a file.

If this can’t be done, why not?

If so, what’s the simplest way?

I know there is a way to do it using PHP, but I have no PHP experience, so if that’s the answer, I would appreciate a link or a file that illustrates.

Thanks!

Whatever data you have, you need to send it to a webserver first - you can’t directly save it as a local file. There is a blog post here about sending data in AS3

Thanks for that unformatt!
