As you've heard the answer is no, but your flex app can call a method on your application server that can. I suggest having your application server write out the xml file and save it that way. The theory would be you pass the data you want written to your application server it writes the file out to a temp xml file (could also be done without a file being written) and then returns the headers as a file and thus will prompt the user to save. Kind of the same concept as what people do to get dynamic data from the database to save to an excel spreadsheet. But instead of the header being for an excel file you set it to XML.
Good luck, Mike Weiland ------------ Aspen Tree Media http://www.AspenTreeMedia/ http://www.CertificateCreator.com/ Original Message ----------------------- Hi guys, I under stand Flex is for RIA but if it's just an embedded swf file within HTML can it not just be used for desktop apps. All I would like to do is write an XML file (based on the work the user has done via my flex app) to a folder on the file system, is this possible? Is it possible for Flex to write to the local file system or is this something that Apollo will take care off. Also do any users have any idea on how long it will be before we can expect the first release of Apollo (Not including the current alpha one) Thanks for reading, C
