XML in Flash

[Blenderben]

Ok ay this might sound like a stupid question, but i must ask

Is there anyway to write to a XML file from Flash WITHOUT using php? (just a flash file, and a xml file)

and then having the ability to load and update that xml file every 2 seconds?

thanks!

I think you ar ealways going to need some sort of handler, like AJAX uses JavaScript.

There is an "AJAX" type methodology for Flash objects, you can research it here:

well looking at this tutorial by senocular
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/create_edit_xml.htm

you still need a handler for this? or does this tutorial automatically create an xml file in the root dir? or is it just creating it as a object in flash?

i am confused, after reading the posts and then this tut.
