Problem in saving XML data in a new file

[guy_logical]

Hello,

I want to save data in an new file in XML file format. On click of Submit button inside flash I am calling the following function which is inside SwfKit :

function saveScores()
{
var score = FlashPlayer.getVariable("_level0.gResultXml"); //gResultXml is global variable in flash which contains a huge XML type of string.
// remove the old file
var df = getAppDir() + "scores.xml";
DataFile.remove(df);
DataFile.save(df, "score");
}

It saves the "score.xml" file properly but the problem is I get the following junk characters and additional characters like given below :

[score]
type=string
value=%3Cresponses%3E%3CquestionNo1%3EOption%20B%3 C/questionNo1%3E%3CquestionNo2%3EOption%20D%3C/questionNo2%3E%3C/responses%3E

Actually I should get the output like below(just for example) :

<responses><questionNo1>Option B</questionNo1><questionNo2>Option D</questionNo2></responses>

Why its happening so? Also, I dont want to see [score], type = string value = etc inside the file. Can anyone please guide me regarding above?

Thanks,

The DataFile object is used to save the values of swfkit variables in a file which has a special format, you cannot use it to write a xml file.

Please try the following code

function saveScores()
{
var score = FlashPlayer.getVariable("_level0.gResultXml"); //gResultXml is global variable in flash which contains a huge XML type of string.
// remove the old file
var df = getAppDir() + "scores.xml";
var xmlFile = new FileStream(df, "w");
xmlFile.write(score);
}

Thanks a lot topcmm! That works wonderfully. But here is one more quick query. Currently I am able to save the XML file only on the same directory where Exe file exists. I want to save the XML file to say on C drive. For that I wrote the following code "

var df = getAppDir() + "C:\\scores.xml";
var xmlFile = new FileStream(df, "w");
xmlFile.write(score);

But when I run the exe file(not from SWFKit's preview but independently from the path where it is actually present) it do not save the "scores.xml" to desired location(on C drive in our case).

Any help on this will be highly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Oh Sorry!! What a stupid question I had asked. I should have write :

var df = "C:\\scores.xml";

instead of

var df = getAppDir() + "C:\\scores.xml";
