<P><FONT size=2>Thanks Paddy and Paul for replies.<BR><BR>Having looked again at the actionscript possibilities it seems I should also be able to use the loadVars class (send and load methods) to read/write text to a URL. It should work with a URL that is a local or server file?? ... have tried it briefly but no luck so far.<BR><BR>John<BR><BR>________________________________<BR><BR>From: xerte-bounces@lists.nottingham.ac.uk on behalf of Patrick Lockley<BR>Sent: Fri 07/08/2009 11:22<BR>To: Xerte discussion list<BR>Subject: RE: [Xerte] Writing/reading text<BR><BR><BR><BR>Hi John,<BR><BR><BR><BR>Xerte doesn't directly have the ability to save a file, as it's flash based and as such relies on flash's file handling functions (i.e open only). However, you could write a server side script to handle that for you.<BR><BR><BR><BR>So that would work for you on a server, but it would not work for using a CD.<BR><BR><BR><BR>There is an send and load event which can obtain XML / any other data.<BR><BR><BR><BR>From: xerte-bounces@lists.nottingham.ac.uk [<A href="mailto:xerte-bounces@lists.nottingham.ac.uk">mailto:xerte-bounces@lists.nottingham.ac.uk</A>] On Behalf Of John Lannon<BR>Sent: 07 August 2009 10:08<BR>To: xerte@lists.nottingham.ac.uk<BR>Subject: [Xerte] Writing/reading text<BR><BR><BR><BR>Hello all,<BR><BR><BR><BR>I'm new to Xerte and to the list but I've set up the standalone exe version, looked through the examples, and created/published my own basic template-based learning object.<BR><BR><BR><BR>My question is as follows: I want to create an interactive online application where the user is presented with questions (mostly text entry panels for large amounts of text); the user can save their input at any time, and can reload them into the appropriate panels when they re-start.
