Creating .txt files (AS2)

[mayoarm11]

Hi. I'm using .txt files in my root directory for saving and loading data, using this awesome AS tut:
http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/2988 29

I was wondering if it's possible to CREATE and later edit the data in these files using AS2. Thanks in advance.

Why - no.

so it's only possible to read from txt files? that's it? not even edit its content?

Make a php script that makes a txt file. Then make you flash load that page in some way such as load vars.

<?php
//set up file access
$fp = fopen("newTxtFile.txt" , "x+");
//?open the text file
fputs($fp , "Text that will be saved in txt file once made");
//close the file
fclose($fp);
?>

i dont really know php, where exactly can i enter that code, can it go in the flash file? If not, can I make a 'run script' file, that flash will run, something like, run:

domain.com/subfolder/createTxtFile.php

and furthermore, can I specify the name of the text file when running this file (it's probably wrong how I wrote this):

domain.com/subfolder/createTxtFile.php?n ame="text file name"

That tutorial is 4 years old, just so you know

then care to direct me to a more advanced one, instead of acting like a snobby bitch?

From what I know it's not possible to create external files directly from Flash, due to safety restrictions imposed on the tool
