Re: FLASH: Can flash write to the hard drive?

[Gregg Caines]

It can be easily programmed if you have some windows programming

experience.  Just create a window that houses the Flash movie (easily

done with the activex flash plug-in), and use FSCommand to

communicate between the program and the movie.


You could also write a really basic program that takes the variables as

parameters like:


writevars.exe variable variable2 variable3


That program could be called by the flash projector, with the correct

parameters, and it could write a file that would be in the format of the

text files that flash can read.


I've never done this second solution myself, but I'm sure it would work.

As for the first, I've done it a few times, but you'd have to know some

windows programming, and then you'd be stuck on the PC.


Otherwise I don't know of a way.
