Hi there
I know what I said and i can send the xml packet to the asp.net page, but that page then need to take that packet and save it to an xml file. This is what I cant do. The xml file already excists just need to save the packet sent from flash back to the server
any ideas

How is it being sent then? As a GET? POST?

[lee2006]

Hi there it is sent from flash using actionscript in the sef

testxml.SendandLoad(" /test.aspx", textxml) the data is POST

hope this helps

You can then get the data sent in the ASPX page using Request.Form["fieldname"]. Where fieldname is the parameter specified in the body of the xml that you've sent. Example:

thexmlpacket=<something><blah><blahdyblah>dkfj</blahdyblah></blah></something>

So in that case, you would look for Request.Form["thexmlpacket"]

I cant belive through all the forums and tutorials I have been trough I finaly worked it out

It works I can now update load XML into flash, update thge XML instance and send that instance to an ASP.NET web service as a XML packet

The ASP.NET web service then saves the XML packet back to the origonal XML file and it all happends in the background

Cool

I must say though that there isnt alot of information on how to do this type of thing using ASP.NET

Anyone else have this problem jsut ask maybee i can post the answer if enough people require it

help me heeps

thanks to all thatr helped me achieve this

I think you should post the answer anyways because people often search these forums for answers and if they come across your post, they won't even need to ask.

no probs mate
in the end the code required was very short
but I guess when no one knows how to do it doesnt matter how big the code is.

The code is in 'VB' within the asp.net page

here it is

'page load event handler
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Dim xmlDoc, FilePath
xmlDoc = New XmlDocument
xmlDoc.Load(Request.InputStream)
FilePath = Server.MapPath("")
xmlDoc.Save(FilePath + "\filename.xml")

End Sub

then in flash

xmlDoc.sendAndLoad("default.aspx", returnXML, "POST");

any questions just ask, hope this helps other as i have spent about 5 weeks to get this to work
