Read and Write Text Files

Question

How do I add text from an input text box from flash to a text
(.doc) file when you press an OK button. I want to make the button
have an:
on (release) {
//script
Lets say the URL is "/scene_detail.doc". I can also use .txt
files, but I'd much prefer someone to tell me how to do this with
DOC files. Thanks in Advanced!

Answer 1

Flash cannot write files. You must have some sort of
serverside script do
this, something like ColdFusion, php, asp, perl or cgi.
There is a sample here that writes to an XML file with php:

Here is one that writes to a text file with perl:
