Hopefully ...
New project:
MainMenu.as
replace
fileName = mdm.Dialogs.BrowseFile.show();
with
fileName = mdm.Dialogs.BrowseFileToSave.show();
forget about the three lines above.
Also I added a settings.as containing
package org.xerteEditor
{
import flash.system.Capabilities;
public class Settings
{
static public function get delimiter():String
{
var delimiter:String;
var os:String = Capabilities.os;
if (os.split(" ")[0] == "Windows") {
delimiter = '\\';
} else {
delimiter = '/';
}
return delimiter;
}
}
}
In every file using paths replace the \\ with
' + Settings.delimiter + '
