Save data to text file locally using AS3

Hi all,

Hope you can help me here.
I need to Save data to text file locally using AS3 or AS2.
I don't need this to work online so I suppose no PHP require here.
I've been googling but cannot find it and I was told that it can do done with AS if it's locally.

Here is the code:

Hope someone can help!

Thanks

wall.addEventListener(Wall3DEvent.ELEMENT_SELECTED, saveText);
function saveText(e:Wall3DEvent):void {
// I need to find some code and insert it here!
// I just need to save to a txt file, no need to read later, just save.
}

Hi, i disagree with whoever told you it's possible.
flash has no capabilities to write to the hard drive with exception to shared objects.

Is there ANYWAY at all to do this without using PHP or ASP please?

blue-genie

nope. flash resides within the dreaded "Sandbox" - it cannot have access to the harddrive.
what exactly do you want to do with the text after it's saved.
how is this running if it's not online? projector? desktop application?

I've got a html file with flash embedded in it.
It's basically an image gallery which uses xml.
I've got an external application that reads this txt file which I want flash to write on so my application
know the name of the image that has been selected.
