R – Saving and Loading XML file with flex

actionscript-3apache-flexfileflashxml

I want to have a xml file for my configuration and so i have to load it from the same directory the swf file lies in and save it afterwards. I saw articles about filestreams in flex but my compiler didn't allow me to use the filestream. I use the open source flex sdk.

anyone got an idea?

thanks in advance

FileStream is available in Adobe AIR, not in Flex. You can't use files in Flex directly - for security reasons, you don't have access to local files (where the Flash Player is running). You'll need to fetch the data using an HTTP request.

Update: You can read the configuration using an HTTP request - if you want to save information back into the configuration, you'll have to send an HTTP POST with your changes, and have server-side logic update the configuration.
