Here is an example that uses either ASP.NET or JSP to retrieve and save a file. It also is an xml editor, so there is more code than you need, but you will see how the file manipulation is done pretty easily.

So Flex takes the form input and POSTs it to your server page set up to handle it, something like a PHP, ASP, CFM, etc. This page on the server takes the input fields sent to it from Flex and formats it to your liking and writes out the file. So find out what middleware is on your server and go from there. I might suggest that you are going to want to store your information in a database though. Good luck, Mike Weiland Original Message ----------------------- Thanks for the reply... As you can tell, I'm trying to write the results of my simple form to a file, can be any format, i.e., text, XML, etc. to preferably an email address or to a text file. What I'd like to see in the file would look like this Name: John Smith Address1: 234 Main St Address2: Suite 100 City: Los Angeles State: CA Zip: 90028 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:jsmith%40company.com> Is there a way to do this? Can't seem to find any info in the Flex docs...thanks again... --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I don't think you can post to a .txt file.
