The below will write contents from a field named "YourTextFieldName" into a
text file "yourtextfile.txt" located in the same directory as your DIR.

fileObj=new(Xtra "fileIO")
filename=the moviePath & "yourtextfile.txt"
openFile(fileObj,filename,0)
writeString(fileObj, member("YourTextFieldName").text)
closeFile(fileObj) -- Close the file
fileObj = 0 -- Dispose of the instance

* Be sure to include the Xtra (FileIO) with your movie.

The free propSave xtra ([url]www.pimz.com[/url]) is very easy to use. The vList xtra
([url]www.updatestage.com[/url]) does the same and much more. If you need the file to be
readable in e.g. Notepad then you need to persevere with fileIO. Show us the
code you're trying. The documentation for fileIO can be found by searching in

how about 'setPrefs'?
no need of xtras, simple to read and write.
