Um - surely there's a third option, which is plain text? It does depend what you're configuring, but our external configuration files look like java.properties files:
language=en useDirectX=true etc. etc. We just read them in using LoadVars (overriding onData) and parse them. Very straightforward. Security implications etc. - well, that entirely depends what you're trying to protect against, and what info you're putting in the configuration file. In general, if the config file is on the CD itself, it's unchangeable, so I don't see a huge issue? Unless I've got the wrong end of the stick and you're talking about configuring a CD-ROM app via a net connection (some sort of activation system) - in which case ignore me. :-) Ian On 1/30/07, Paul Steven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Also if anyone has a link to a working version of JSON and JSONConfig, then I would appreciate it as the version I downloaded is giving me several errors. Any pointers on the use of a configuration file for a CDROM also appreciated - such as any problems I could encounter with security etc Thanks in advance Paul _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
