copied!<p>I threw this together, and sure enough you can save to .XML using the following as a minimalist example.</p> <pre><code>package com.hodgedev.xmlcreator { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.utils.ByteArray; import flash.net.FileReference; /** * ... * @author Brian Hodge (brian@hodgedev.com) */ public class Main extends Sprite { private var _xml:XML; public function Main():void { if (stage) init(); else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init); } private function init(e:Event = null):void { removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init); //Calling the save method requires user interaction and Flash Player 10 stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, _onMouseDown); _xml= <xml> <test>data</test> </xml>; } private function _onMouseDown(e:MouseEvent):void { var ba:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); ba.writeUTFBytes(_xml); //ba. var fr:FileReference = new FileReference(); fr.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, _onRefSelect); fr.addEventListener(Event.CANCEL, _onRefCancel); fr.save(ba, "filename.xml"); } private function _onRefSelect(e:Event):void { trace('select'); } private function _onRefCancel(e:Event):void { trace('cancel'); } } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>There are some things to note.</p> <ul> <li>You require Flash Player 10 to use the save method of the <code>FileReference</code> class.</li> <li>In order to do anything that INVOKES a prompt, Flash requires user interaction like keyboard or mouse input.</li> </ul> <p>In the above I listen for <code>MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN</code> on the stage to serve as the USER INTERACTION which is required to invoke the save prompt.</p> <p>I setup a basic XML structure within the code (this will typically come from and external source and will work fine both ways.</p> <p>A <code>ByteArray</code> is created and the XML is written to the <code>ByteArray</code>.</p> <p>The save method of the <code>FileReference</code> class requires a <code>ByteArray</code> and default save name be passed as the two parameters.</p> <p>I hope this helps.</p>
