Hello,

I have pretty good basic "action script" skills for developing flash files and
movies, but I don't know how to do dynamic things with asp, aspx, etc. I have a
local application that runs form my computer and is not connected to the
internet. The application keeps track of button clicks on each buttton as
separate variables. Here is my question ... each time the flash movie runs and
buttons are clicked, I want to record the clicks on each button (which exist in
the application at runtime) and save them to something like an excel
spreadsheeet or access database. Any easy way to do this without getting into
server-side stuff?

Thank you

Use getURL to generate a cvs or other text delimited formatted web page and
have the user save the web page and then import into Excel.

Use a text field or text area to generate again the text delimited format of
your choice, have the user copy the contents and save to a text file and
import to Excel.

The piece you are looking for is probably the Flash ExternalInterface class.
It is used to communicate with the Flash Player's container application,
which is frequently an html page.  I've been using it with a Flash Player
ActiveX control in an Excel worksheet.
