[Flashcoders] Read and save xml file on disk (natalia Vikhtinskaya)

[Wenzler, Thomas]

You might look at mProjector or zinc or something in that lane. AFAIK these have the additional classes to let you write txt or xml to the filesystem without further permission by the user. But this only works as executable Projector, not via Browser.

Best regards, Thomas

Hi to all friends
I have to create stand alone application that can read xml file then after editing save it on the disk. I need to do that by FlashCs6. I know that
FileReference.load() : Loads data from a file selected by the user.
FileReference.save() : Saves data to a file location selected by the user.
Is it possible to save and read without the user?
What is the better way for this task?
Do you know any good tutorials with examples on this subject? This task it new for me and I want to read about that more.

Thank you in advance.

If I understand all advices correctly I created small test Flash CS6 and
published as AIR app

// xml personnel file
var personnel:XML = <employees>
<employee id='1187' lastName='Davis' firstName='Charles'>
<office>CT</office>
<dept>Marketing</dept>
</employee>
<employee id='3383' lastName='Jones' firstName='Kevin'>
<office>NY</office>
<dept>Sales</dept>
</employee>
<employee id='2946' lastName='Samuels' firstName='Elizabeth'>
<office>CT</office>
<dept>Engineering</dept>
</employee>
</employees>

// new node appended
personnel.appendChild( <employee id='4002' lastName='Suzuki'
firstName='Kenji'>
<office>MA</office>
<dept>Sales</dept>
</employee> );
var prefsFile:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
prefsFile = prefsFile.resolvePath("personnel.xml");
var outputStringXML:String = personnel.toXMLString();
stream = new FileStream();
stream.open(prefsFile, FileMode.WRITE);
stream.writeUTFBytes(outputStringXML);

line
var prefsFile:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
gives mistake
Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: File.

What is wrong here?
