Flash cannot write to the local file system; it can read. To write, you'll need a 3rd party projector (mProjector, SWFStudio, Zinc, Screenweaver [open source]), or Macromedia Director.

I have a .NET server/SQL server too, but Im hoping this can all be done client-side so I don't have to upload the data and then re-download it. Any thoughts/ideas appreciated. Cheers, Nick _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
