Hi,


You have to set also the name of the file or directory as a variable.

For the text items the same.

Set them as variables and concatenate them as usual.


I've published an example in

http://www.internet.com.uy/vibri/Flash/save_w_variables.zip

I've made it to save by default on "c:\", but you can reconstruct the

variable "directory".

It saves three variables in the form:

text1=bla&text2=blabla&text3=blablabla.


It's not a very "tidy" solution, but I'm also trying to understand this

things... ;-)


Hope it helps :)
