RE: [flexcoders] Re: POST not working
Locally? Security restrictions won't allow you to do that. To do it on
the web, you would have to use something like .NET or PHP, and then
download the file to the local system. That would be pretty easy.

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...

I mean, you need some server-side program to accept the url
and write
the file. Have you ever posted to a .txt file in any other
language?
What are you expecting such a file to look like?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: POST not working
You'll need logic on the server to handle the creation of the text file. 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,

RE: [flexcoders] Re: POST not working
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.
