Topic: Read/Write to local text file?

Is it possible to read or write to a local text file stored with the .swf locally?

If so, any information about it would be great.

Thanks

Re: Read/Write to local text file?

A movie loaded from the network does not have access to local files.

A movie run locally has the ability to read local files using the "file://" protocol handler and the LoadVars and XML objects.

Chumby has added extensions to the Flash Player to give local movies run directly from the command line the ability read, write and execute local files.

See this wiki page.
