Autosave function for Flash MX

Hi all,

So, I’ve been trying to figure out how to write an autosave script, or a back up script that saves a copy of my flash file every x amount of minutes since Flash MX is the most unstable of programs and I keep losing work, but when I try stuff, I keep getting feedback that Flash MX 2004 doesn’t support the “save” command…

Am I just horribly doing things wrong, or is it just not as simple as it should be?
If anybody has suggestions, or has done this before, I would really appreciate the help…

thanks guys,

Actually, the only way to automate Flash is using JSFL (javascript engine for flash). You can pick this ready-to-go tool (writen by Guy Watson, the FlashGuru):

Or you can write your own using a mix of JSFL and AS. Basically, you write a stay-open app which runs a JSFL command every x seconds (that is, you write a JSFL file somewhere in the disk, containing something as “fl.getDocumentDOM().save()”, then instruct the Finder to open it using Flash).

cool, thanks!
