hi all .. im new to this list, and new to lingo in general, so forgive
me what i hope is a naive and simple to fix problem.

im attempting to use fileIO to import & export text in director 8 for
win98. it appears to work flawlessly, UNTIL i try to compile the movie
or even hit f12 for testing in the browser. when the movie is playing a
browser, i get script errors every time. is fileIO not allowed in movies
over the net? if so, is it simple to find an alternative? below is the
syntax i used ..

scribe = new (xtra "FileIO")
      openFile(scribe, "chatlog.txt", 0)
      scribe.setPosition(scribe.getLength() + 3)
      scribe.writeString (gYrname && "sez: " & the text of field 10)
      scribe.setPosition(scribe.getLength() + 3)
      scribe.writeString ("doc sez: " & the text of field 9)
scribe = 0

anyway, if anyone can help out that'd be great .. thanks

noah
