Is it possible to delete the contents of a local XML file using a Flash CS5 document being played on the desktop and using AS3?
Ok i have done some research but still no luck. I was going to use a separate batch file with a windows command that did what I needed but since I will be calling the fscommand once a second the dos window would pop up a lot.
Are there any thirdy party plugins that will allow flash to run windows commands?
Flash is read-only. It does not have access to create, delete, or otherwise modify files locally or on a server. The typical technique is to pass the heavy lifting onto to some tech that does, like php.
On the other hand, AIR does have access to all manner of functions like this, even to native processes. If you are looking to run an application only on a client machine, its a great alternative.
