How can I load and save text using FileReference class

Let me start by saying I have no intention of using php and I can't wait until flash cs5 comes out with its new read/write capabilities
I want to load and save XML files (stored on my local hard-drive) in AS3.
I am using the FileReference class.
Firstly I have noticed that when using FileReference.save if you replace an existing file instead of writing over the file data is appended to the end of the file. Can I make it so the file is overwritten (as it should be) or make it impossible for the user to save in such a situation.
Secondly I want to load in text from an external file using FileReference.load I know that somehow you use FileReference.browse first to get it to work but I want to know exactly how to do it.
I have looked for a tutorial about loading text in this manner and have not found one.
Any help would be much appreciated especially if you could point me in the direction of a relevant tutorial
Thanks

the filereference class is for downloading and uploading files.
if you want to load xml, use the xml class.
and, if you want to write to an xml file and don't want to use server-side code, wait.

how can u insert and retrieve text files in any format using forms6i.
can u give me an example of an insert statement, let's assume the file is located in the a:drive.
and retrieving the files, i would give the user a list of all the files that are in the database, the user would select one, but what command(or piece of code) would open the file in its apppropriate editor.

How can I read and write text in rings that are inside an array?

Hello All!!!
How can I read and write text in rings that are inside an array?
Regards and thanks in advance.

Use a Property Node linked to the Ring inside the array.
Of course, all elements in the array will have the same text values.

The mods here are adverse to mentioning software to duplicate commercial media, which is called "ripping." However, you can search outside of this forum for the software you need.

Its easy to take an iPad screenshot. Press & release the Home and the Power buttons quickly at the same time. I have trouble with that so I press & hold the Home button and then very quickly press and release the Power button. Your screenshot is stored in the Camera Roll of the Photos app. Probably the easiest way to get it to your PC is to be using iCloud, or email it to your PC. There are also some wireless sync apps in the iTunes app store that let you send photos from the iPad to a Mac or PC. I use PhotoSync.

How can I edit and save parts of songs (like a chorus).

How can I edit and save parts of songs (like a chorus).

The iTunes-only way is: figure out where you want your excerpt to begin and end. Right-click the track, Get Info, Options tab, set the Start/Stop times accordingly, and OK out. Right-click again, and choose Create XXX version (where XXX is the format indicated in your Import settings). Right-click one more time, and unset the Start/Stop times.
This procedure will leave the full track in place, and will create a new file and library entry with just your excerpt.

In my Thunderbd 24.4.0-Windows7-how can I copy and save to DVD all the emails? Unlike in previous Thundrbd they no longer come up in Defaults under Mail.

In my win XP, after Profiles to Default with all those numbers, then Mail, up came Local Folders which contained all the current emails, which were then easily open-able and save-able.
How can I now do the same with my newer thunderbird on my windows 7?
Thank you

Thank you - I now can find the Mail folder, and then only when I select : pop3.virginmedia-1.com (my server) from it's 3 choices, does it show all my email folders. They are all in 2 versions. Those ending .msf I cannot open as they are "not a valid Win 32 application". The others with a little page icon, do all open - in Wordpad or Libreoffice, but the messages are almost totally lost amongst dozens of complex data pages before and after each little actual message! How can I open and see just the actual email messages without all the vast other data, so that I can then save them to a DVD?
Thank you,
Ted

How can I find and change text in Hyperlinks?

I have 6000 hyperlinks in my document, I need to change all of the "&" they contain (in the url destination, not in the textflow) to "%26" so I can export to Epub correctly (I'm getting the classic "Export failed" and found out in forums that ampersands in hyperlinks are the problem).
Can this replacement be automated? Maybe with Javascript? I just don't know how to search just through hyperlinks' text (url).
Thanks a lot.

It's perfect! Thanks a lot again!

Oh, incidently, Harbs has a script that does this with a UI.

It's basically the same thing, but maybe a bit more user-friendly.
