output variable to txt file

[Matt McKay]

I made a flash program that finds prime numbers.
These prime numbers are put into a string which gets longer and longer

vPrimeString = vPrimeString + " " + vNewPrime;

Anyway, I would like to output this to a TXT file...
Can someone help? I haven't had any luck finding references to this online,
but the help files say that it can be done (mind you, not saying *HOW* to do
it)

Thanks

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can use SharedObject
to create a "cookie" on the user's local machine to store this data.
But if they find the file and delete it, or simply disable Flash's
player SharedObject capability then it's no good.

If you are talking about saving it on the server side, I would use
something like a PHP script to write the file for you.

No, it's not going to be on the web...
It's just going to be a standalone file on my computer, that I wrote in
flash, that generates prime numbers.
All I want is to output the variables to a txt file.

Use a real programming language to calculate prime numbers, or just write
them down when you get tired of looking at your results.

If you want the collection so far, and want to contribute your cpu cycles,
just check the web.

The last thing anybody wants is files with prime numbers in them on their
local disk.
