[flexcoders] How would I Overwrite contents of External XML File
Hi All
I am working on change password option for the user, I am reading
password content from external XML Files and then depending upon the
added value I need to overwrite the external XML's files passsword
entry. I am using following code for changing it but it is not
working, My XML file is in the external folder but withtin the same
project and this is one of the component which i am calling on click
of some button. I need to overwrite data in Login.xml which is stored
in Private folder as the separate folder in my project, Reading from
thh xml file is no problem but writing back is an issue,
Does anyone know where I am screwing things up?
Many Many Thanks for your help

RE: [flexcoders] How would I Overwrite contents of External XML File
Im not 100% sure, but I don't believe flex can write to the server directly.
You will most likely have to employ a server side http service to achieve this.
Also if you are going to be storing sensitive info in an xml file, you should
encrypt the passwords and security answers

Re: [flexcoders] How would I Overwrite contents of External XML File
Hi Brendon
We are working on the encryption part but do you think it is not possible to
overwrite stuff on server with Flex. If thats the case i have used amfPHP
for tarnsferring data to server, then do you think amfPHP is the only option
i left with I guess right.
Any other guidance will be apprecited too , Also if you have better
links/info about encryption of password on the server that will be helpful
too
Thanks

RE: [flexcoders] How would I Overwrite contents of External XML File
Hi Anuj,
All the investigation I have done points to it not being possible in flex
(non-air flex). So amfPHP is a logical option for you, especially if you have
already had experience with it.

Re: [flexcoders] How would I Overwrite contents of External XML File
HI Brendon
Sounds good to me, And my teamate is working on the encryption part, he
thinks that encryption of the password needs to be done through Javascript
and if thats the case I need to see how my Flex code needs to talk to
JavaScript, i guess using exteralInterface might help me, So do you think
JavaScript is good option for taking care of encryption (on the wire) for
the password or we should try some other technology. I am doubtful that if
Flex can take care of encryption of the password.
Any feedback regardign how to encrypt migh help too,
Thanks Brendon for your help
