Creating external files (.txt, .json, etc)

Hello everyone,
I'm currently trying to find out how to create external files from a SWF/exe/app file created in Flash. Essentially I'm building a program to create templates for levels in a game. The SWF will be run locally (e.g. not online) and will allow the user to add/remove objects to a level of their design. They then need to be able to save the level template (ideally I need to be able to save as a JSON* file, but I'm sure I could get away with just a simple txt file) somewhere on their computer. These templates will them be imported by the game itself (not written in Flash, hence why I need to save the data as a json or txt file), which will then re-create the levels from the data contained in the save file.
I had assumed this would be something that was really simple to do, but I cannot seem to find any tutorials or information on how to create external files. I can find plenty on reading from existing external files, but nothing about actually writing a new file entirely. I have read a few people complaining that non-local Flash SWFs cannot access the user's hard drive for security reasons, but cannot find any information on local SWFs.
If anyone could tell me even roughly what I'm looking for, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm a bit stuck just now haha
*I have downloaded the corelib files which allow me to work with JSON files

Flash is not able to write any type of text file on user system.
U have to use air or zinc to intract with file system.
Yes u can use shared objects also. Which stores value to user computer and browser stores cookies on user system

Creating a file in the /etc/folder?

To install MySQL I'm following the instructions on http://stringfoo.com/2007/11/05/serversetup_onleopard/
Step 8 is to write a four-line file and save it in the directory /etc/. BBEdit has a menu item for "Open Hidden" that can open files in that directory, but I'm stumped how to save a new file there. I'm logged in as a administrator. Dreamweaver can open files from that directory, but not save a new file there. The terminal can open files in that directory and I see "mkdir" for creating a directory there but I don't see a command for making a file. I searched help files but couldn't find anything.

Another easy way to save files into the "hidden" Unix folders that should work in most GUI applications...
When you're in the standard save dialog press <Command><Shift>G (just like Finder's "Go -> Go to folder..." menu item). You'll get the same "Go to folder" dialog and can just type in "/etc" to get into that folder, then save your file.

Create file txt

Hello,
How I do to create a file txt with action script.
Thanks

you can't use actionscript alone. you'll need to use
something else in addition to flash like some server-side code
(php, perl etc).

JSON external file

I'm having trouble with this script. can anyone help me? I thought JSON was built into edge. but after writing these lines of code it doesn't appear so....
var imageArray = new Array();
var currentImage = 0;
var mySlidingImages = sym.getSymbol("ImageSlider");
sym.$("PlaceHolderText").html("");
$.getJSON("data/photos.json", function(data){
               for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++){
                              imageArray.push({"image":data[i].image,"title":data[i].title});
               sym.$("PlaceHolderText").html(imageArray[currentImage].title);
so when that didn't work I tried this:
yepnope({
nope:[
'edge_includes/json2_min.js'
complete: init
//when yepnope has loaded everything execute init();
function init (){
//initialise your variables and Edge comp here
var imageArray = new Array();
var currentImage = 0;
var mySlidingImages = sym.getSymbol("ImageSlider");
sym.$("PlaceHolderText").html("");
$.getJSON("data/photos.json", function(data){
          for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++){
                    imageArray.push({"image":data[i].image,"title":data[i].title});
          sym.$("PlaceHolderText").html(imageArray[currentImage].title);
Basically what I'm trying to do is create a slider that will auto populate, with image and text, according to an external file "photos.json". But I'm a noob at coding so I don't know what my mistake is... if anyone could help me understand what I'm doing wrong i would appreciate it.. ty..

About the first image: you've got a wrong line inside $.getJSON:
$.getJSON("data/photos.json", function(data){
         maxImages = data.length-1;
          for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++){ imageArray.push({"image":data[i].image,"title":data[i].title}); }
          sym.$("PlaceHolderText").html(imageArray[currentImage].title);
          mySlidingImages.$("ImageHolder1").css({"background-image":"url('"+imageArray[currentImage ].image+"')"});
          mySlidingImages.play("Rest"); // the wrong line
          mySlidingImages.play(); // a better slideIn effect.

External files opening behind the projector

I have used 'baOpenFile' function to open some external files
(pdf, pps etc). In most computers everything works great, but in
some computers the file opens behind the projector (which is in
full screen mode), and user doesn't see that the file has opened.
To solve this problem I have used
'baWindowToBack(baWinHandle())' to send the projector window back
before the external file opens. It works, but it's ugly solution
(especially if there's many windows open on desktop). Does anyone
know why external files open behind the projector, and is there a
better way to fix the problem than the one that I've used?

Instead of sending the Director window to the back, it may be
better to
bring the new window to the front. That will bypass the issue
of other
windows appearing over the Director window.
I do not know why this happens, and I have seen it in action
many times
myself. It is annoying, but easily worked around.

Creating Target Group from External File

Hello Experts
We need to create target group from external file. (That is to say we will have let's say txt file containing BP that belongs to specific target group and we need to assign these BPs to to specific target group in SAP CRM)
I have searched for it on sdn and found something benefical. I have found BAPI_TARGETGROUP_CREATE, I have checked it but I don't understand how should we use it becuase as far as we understand it just creates target group, we cannot see anything related with Business Partner. How can we relate BPs with the target group we create by this BAPI.
What should we do, is anyone have previous experience about it? or is there a way to do it without using BAPI.
thanks it advance
M.

Hi,
You can do this from within the standard Web UI. It's straight out of the box.
Create a profile set and in there create a target group in the target group assignment block just by entering the description of the target group. Then enter edit mode of this target group and click the button "Import Members". Remeber to mark "Change selected target group" unless you want to create a new target group.

Hi Tony,
Somehow I solved this issue. I dont remember what exactly I did, as it was sometime back in December. I think I used the Wizard initially to do the configurations in Solution Manager and again i tried to do the same manually as the earlier one threw some errors.
It seems the wizard proceeded half-way through and hence the entry was made in the database already and hence that error.
Anyways thank you for replying me.
best regds,

Java code to create a new .txt file in FTP server --- Help

Hi,
I wrote a standalone java app which creates a .txt file in my local machine and transfers it to FTP server. But my requirement now is to create a new .txt file with the same content in FTP server itself instead of creating locally with basic java code.
I'm aware of transfering file from local machine to the FTP server using STOR command of FTP. But i never tried creating a new file & writing content into that in FTP server.
So, if any one did this before please help me out with source code or any idea ???
Thank you.

thanks for your reply. yes i've seen the Apache Commons NET API , but there is no method or class to create a new file in FTP server. I'm really worried how to solve this problem ???Sure there is.
There's a method where you can write data to a file on the server using an OutputStream, right? Well, instead of writing to a FileOutputStream, write to that OutputStream instead. Remember to close the OutputStream and call the method which says you're finished with the command (I forget what it's called).

File receiver: Create empty file named "start.txt" at end of process

Hello,
When my file adapter finish the generation of file at the receiver server I want to create another empty file at the same directory named "start.txt". The use of that file if for a scheduled task of OS that only starts a process if start.txt file have been created (the process delete that file).
How can I do that? I've tried with OS command after precessing but that's for the XI OS not the receiver system SO...
Then I've seen that I can use ftp command but there isn't ftp command to create a file... only to transfer files.

You can achive this using script.Write a script/bat to creat a file using ftp connection as well in the script and place in xi machine. Using OS command to call the script before the process ends.
