How can I write a text file to the user's hard drive?

The most common way to write out a text file is to use the fileIO Xtra. It has built in functionality to access files, check if they exist and write string data to a file. There are behaviors in the database to save a file, read a file, and even convert returns to valid PC line breaks. For Shockwave you can only write using getPref and setPref. These write to a preset directory as Shockwave is not allowed to access the local drive.
