I have an application that combines words introduced by the user to create new words. I would like to be able to save the resulting combinations into an external txt file. Do any of you know how this could be done with actionscript?

is it a website or some other type of application?

if it's a website then you should probably use PHP or ASP and write it to a database or XML file.

if it's a cd-rom or something then you may want to use fscommand("exec") combined with .bat files.

it's sort of an advanced topic.

good luck!

I am creating an experimental application for myself, in search of new names, and it works fine so far, but I have to copy the text from the results, open TextEdit and paste the text into a text file. I thought that maybe there would be a way to save it directly from the application. I will have to check the "fscommand("exec") combined with .bat files" option.

Thanks a lot, and if you could give me any idea of where to find tutorials about this, it would be wonderful
