Re: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file
Omar, Thanks for the php references. I need that for a different piece of this puzzle. I left out the the non-Flash part of this story in the original description. I have a bunch of Python wrapped around the Flash. So I wrote a Python CGI to write the variable out to XML and bridge my little misunderstanding with Flash. I use a .send() to invoke the Python with a query string and it works fine.

Re[2]: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file
TH This definitely loads the Flash object...I get that part. But it doesn't TH write to my file called setup.xml. I am in the OReilly ActionScript book now TH and this is the first time it has ever failed me. I tried parseXML and TH sendAndLoad but I can't seem to write into the file. A Flash movie cannot write anything to a file, especially if it is located on a remote server (not mentioning that automatically saving changes to a file made on an object residing in the memory is totally pointless). If you want to save your XML, make your changes and send the whole XML back to a server-side program which can store it to a file. Or if you are on desktop, look after some third party projector creators providing file handling capabilities.

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file
That's because Flash can't write any files, only read. You'll need a server side language to handle that for you (ASP, PHP, ColdFusion, etc..) or look into Remoting. And you probably may wanna join the Flash Newbie (figleaf) or FlashMacromedia (yahoogroups) list for this type of questions. http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashnewbie http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FLASHmacromedia/ regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Teresa Hardy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 11:12 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file This definitely loads the Flash object...I get that part.

RE: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file
Sorry miss understood the question.
You won't be able to write back to the XML file located on the server
directly. You'll have to add a logic layer (ASP, PHP, C#, etc...) that you
can send the new XML data and have that layer update your XML file
(XMLConnector, WebServiceConnector, etc...)

I have been through more manuals than I can list, have also been through
the
complete www.lynda.com tutorial. All the examples create new nodes. I have
not seen any example that writes to an existing node.

Maybe i get you wrong, but maybe |nodeValue:String is, what you are
looking for.
Give the manual a chance - search for XMLNode

I thought this was really basic and easy but I just can't find the
syntax to
do it. All I am trying to do is update one nodeValue from the swf to
the xml
based on which button is selected. I don't want to make a new node,
just
update the theme that exists. The reading part listed below works
fine. I
just can't figure out how to write TO a specified child node and all
the
documentation has me totally confused. I am starting to wonder if I
have to
.removeNode and recreate itI still don't have the syntax.
Thanks in advance. I have been learning a huge amount from listening
to all
the conversations here as I teach myself ActionScript!

Re: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file
Wow, I seriously misread something along the line. But it sounds like I can pass something back to the script and that would work. Thanks I'll go look at the other forum but I thought this was way above a newbie question. Teresa On 3/8/07, Muzak [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: That's because Flash can't write any files, only read.
