Chapter 8. Using the Filesystem > Simple Text Editor
8.5. Simple Text Editor
This section walks you through using Flex to create a simple text editor that will demonstrate the basics of accessing and modifying files in the filesystem. This application will be capable of opening and reading text files, modifying them, and saving new files. The result will be a simple but functional AIR application that will be easy to build onto for a more feature-rich editor.
NOTE
Though this application is written in Flex, you should be able to easily replace the MXML elements with Flash components or HTML elements. The ActionScript events carry over easily to an ActionScript-based application for use in Flash.
