Flash+XML Running Local

[lecasn5]

Hi

I found many helpful guides to work with Flash and XML. But everytime I look for ways of sending back to XML changes produced in Flash, the tutorial always assume that we are using a server. Is there a way for having a Flash projector that everytime it starts 1-checks for data to load to the projector 2- lets us do changes to data (add, change and remove xml data) 3- and in the end we can save the changes made to the XML file that was initially loaded?

No Flash cannot save XML on its own.
That's why tutorials always assume you're using PHP or ASP (or some other server side language)

That's a sad thing to hear...

What about other options that could produce the same results: text file, Access data base, is there a way for Flash to store data locally, without a server?


Thanks

Is there a way for Flash to store data locally, without a server
Yes, there is. -> SharedObject - Run a search in the help files .. SharedObject class - there is a good tutorial on kirupa too.. if I remember well :).

But data stored in a sharedObject will not be accesible form other place than the Flash that wrote it to disk.
