Yes I have Flash. I was wondering how I could write to an HTML file or TXT file using Flash.What are the basics for creating a FLASH Comment Box on my site?
Im not sure that this is possible without setting up some form of server on the computer on which the HTML file is stored. To actually create a FLASH comment Box I would not edit the raw HTML. The way I would go about this is similar to how flash chat is implemented on this site http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/flash_chat/. The basic idea is that from within the flash program, you call up a dynamic web page and manually edit in the value of variables (which are your comments) into the GET field of the web URL. e.g. www.mysite.com?variable1=commentishere. Then some form of server side scripting language (PHP, ASP, PERL, Python etc), reads this and puts the comment into a database. To display the comments another script reads all the comments in the database and assembles a HTML document that is then sent to the user.
This probably sounds complicated but its not really. Just do some reading and start with the link I gave you.
