URGENT!: Flash and Vista -- writing to files
hi -
i have swf being delivered separate application via cd. when application opens first time, queries os locale (since flash can't anymore), , writes text file reads: country=xxx (where xxx name of country). swf loads text file in , uses variable display pieces of animation pertain user's country.
the swf in \help\flash. text file in \help\xmlmenu. actionscript uses relative path load text file. works great in windows xp. in vista, because these files in "program files" directory, application doesn't have admin privileges, can't write text file.
i thinking hard-coding path application data folder, since vista installed on c: or d:, won't work. there way query windows installation drive is? or can flash query registry entries?
i'm using flash 8, 2.0.
any other ideas? i'm desperate here -- software's supposed release in 2 weeks!
thanks.
