    <p>I am trying to save data gathered from within my app to it's accompanying external xml file called <code>data.xml</code>. I am using the <code>fileReference.save</code> method but it just doesn't seem to be doing the job:</p> <pre><code>function parseXML(xmlData:XML):void { trace("Parsing:"); trace("-----------------"); var itemIndex:uint = event.currentTarget.index; delete data.item[itemIndex]; fileReference.save(data, "data.xml"); trace(xmlData); } </code></pre> <p>Unfortunately, this causes a 'Save As' dialog box to pop up asking the user where they would like to save the xml file (when what I really want to happen is for the data.xml file in the project's directory to be overwritten automatically without any say on the part of the user).</p> <p>I have heard that <code>FileStream</code> is the way to go (especially being I am going to deploy this on Air for iOS), but I don't know how to implement it. </p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I have updated my question with the suggestion below, but it still doesn't work. The <code>data.xml</code> file is in the same directory called 'RecipeMatcher2' on my Desktop i.e. /Desktop/RecipeMatcher2/ (I am using Mac OS X), but I also want it to resolve to whatever path the file will be stored in when on the iPhone.</p> <pre><code>function parseXML(xmlData:XML):void { trace("Parsing:"); trace("-----------------"); var itemIndex:uint = event.currentTarget.index; file = File.applicationStorageDirectory; file = file.resolvePath("data.xml"); delete data.item[itemIndex]; var writeStream:FileStream = new FileStream(); writeStream.open(file, FileMode.WRITE); writeStream.writeUTFBytes(data.toXMLString()); writeStream.close(); trace('xml file saved'); } </code></pre> <p>I originally load my xml data like so:</p> <pre><code>loader = new URLLoader(); // listens to see if data has fully loaded// loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, dataLoaded); //loads local xml file with URLrequest method// loader.load(new URLRequest("data.xml")); </code></pre> <p>and here are my public vars relevant to this question:</p> <pre><code>public var loader:URLLoader; public var file:File; public var data:XML; public var items:XMLList; </code></pre>

    1. COHow are you loading the file originally? If you are getting a `FileReference` or a `File` from the beginning you just need to update it.

    2. CO@NemoStein I have updated my question with my original loading of the xml code (it is in an entirely different function)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
