Frank,
Sorry I don't know any ActionScript. :(

Subject: RE: calling on Flash to create a file
Daniel,
My index.cfm contains two frames. One frame contains the flash file
while the other contains some text. Once you click on a particular
movie clip in Flash, then the text frame on the right should display
the
proper text. I was going about this the hard way so that each time a
new file would be created (if one didn't exist) then the file would
grab
the text from the database.
Instead, I have the same set up (index.cfm containing two frames) but
instead of creating a new file each time, I will just have one file
(text.cfm) that grabs the data from the database. This way I will not
have to create a lot of different files.
I am having trouble getting getURL() in Flash to display the text in
the
sibling frame. I am using:
getURL("text.cfm?id="+dragID,"_top.text")
Do you know what I am doing wrong?
thanx -
Frank

What about calling a custom VB application or using WSH ( running on
the
server ) to create your file?

That's a valid reason to consider...
I will be thinking about the best route to go then. Thank you -
Frank

Think about where the thing actually lives. If you've got in-browser
SWF,
then you're asking a plugin to write to (presumably) a known
location
on
the hard drive, which is a safety risk. If you're running in a
standalone
then you've got to ask what your standalone shell can do... if it's
in
the
Central shell you've got a different situation... you might even be
trying
to run a SWF on a server, can't be sure.
Generally, for "Does [some form] of SWF play write to disk?" the
answer
would be "no". You may be able to achieve your goal, though,
depending
on
exactly what it is.
