Sorry miss understood the question. You won't be able to write back to the XML file located on the server directly. You'll have to add a logic layer (ASP, PHP, C#, etc...) that you can send the new XML data and have that layer update your XML file (XMLConnector, WebServiceConnector, etc...)

But it doesn't write to my file called setup.xml. I am in the OReilly ActionScript book now and this is the first time it has ever failed me. I tried parseXML and sendAndLoad but I can't seem to write into the file. Thanks for helping me.
