What are, nowadays, the best practices for uploading a large file (which may cause a timeout) with ASP.NET Web Forms and/or MVC? Increase Server.ScriptTimeout (only for the specific POST request); Use some flash client-side uploader like swfupload ([URL]) or plupload ([URL]), but Flash uploads have some issues with proxies; Use some gmail-like javascript (like [URL]
View 2 RepliesI coded a multiple file uploader using the FileReferenceList and PHP. It works great for me all the time on my Fios internet connection, which is by far faster then DSL, etc... So my issue kinda went unnoticed until I got on a DSL connection. Now, many of the files I was uploading seem to be timing out, but there is no indication of this. No errors, etc... just stops its progress and NEVER finishes. Tried bumping up the script execution time on the server
View 6 RepliesI am trying to create a web site suing adobe Dreamweaver and flash, for the first time.I am trying to upload a webpage that contains swf.When I check mu site I could only see a blank page with the webpage title at the top of the page.When I contacted the webhosting company they say they can see the message that a newer version of adobe flash player is required. From my computer I cannot even see the message.The helpdesk person said there are possibly two reasons for it. Either there is a problem with the code in flash or it is too large.Are they too large to upload? If so, what is the maximum size of file can I upload on a webpage?I know they are basic questions but I am trying to create website on my own.

My users upload a certain kind of text file that sometimeshas references to images stored locally on their hard drive. I needto check this file either on the server or within a flash app tosee if it has these references and then grab those images in aflash app to upload to my server.So I can use FileReference easily enough to have users uploadlocal images. But FileReference requires users to select their files with a dialog box. I can't have that. Myusers wouldn't know where to look and there are typically way toomany files, sometimes with the same name but in differentdirectories.
I can also just use URLLoader with a local URL, I guess I canprobably just use Loader too? That works great. The problem here isI can't communicate with both the server and the local filesystemin the same flash application due to Flash's security sandboxrestrictions. So I can get out of those security restrictions byplacing or editing a trust file in designated locations on variousOSes. I then need to install this trust file which is more invasiveand confusing to users then I want to be...Java's method of accessing local files from a web applet bysimply signing the applet with a certificate and having a dialogbox popup where the users grants access is ideal. Is there anything
I was messing around with some old examples, and I ran into an unfinished example where several 30k-100k XML files are loaded and stored as a string into an Array. The code looks basically like:[code]Basically, when I trace the 'this', the order of the files that are loaded is off. Out of about 10 tries, about 3 times the order is perfect. The remaining 7 times, the order is a bit off. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to ensure the files are loaded prior to the next file being loaded? I tried placing a while loop that basically delays the clock for a few milliseconds, and that didn't work either. Besides, that is not really a good solution to arbitrarily waste clock cycles.

The PHP (the // Test part is to check if a script actually reached the php file):
Code:
<?php
$uploaddir = 'C:/Users/XXX/Desktop/UploadTest/';
$uploadfilename = basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $uploadfilename;

When I upload a file to "Up_Test.php" via a regular HTTP form, the image ends up in the destination folder and the test file wasHere.txt is created as well.
When uploading with the AS3 function above, only the wasHere.txt file is created, i. e. the AS3 connected to the PHP script, but it did not send the file.
I made my own Flash CMS where I can upload files to a server via a php-script.It works fine on PC, but stalls on Mac. Well, on Mac it actually upload the file, but somehow don't tell Flash that it's finished uploading the file so the complete-listener never gets the message.

I have been working on a flex uploader, where the user can select multiple files.It works fine when the files are uploaded in a queue (one at a time), however as soon as I try to have it upload 2 files at once I run into issues.
It seems that files will often lock up, and either stay at 1% until every other file is uploaded, or just not complete at all. There is never more than one file uploading at a time.Is there some issue with calling .upload on multiple files at once in Flex?
Using an unobtrusive technology (HTML5, Flash, Java Applet) which runs in the browser, is it possible to handle compressing of files before being uploaded to the server? I'm building software which will be consumed by a lot of slow connections and by non-computer-savvy users and circumventing an application install would be very beneficial for them.

View 1 RepliesI've built loads of preloaders in AS2 before. However I never ecountered so many problems as now. I'm confused about many things with preloading in AS3. This is my layout:I have a single frame on the first scene of my movie. The main content is inside a movieClip called container, placed on frame 1 of my next scene, which inherits from the class that holds the main code to initialize the game.(I read that this way my code will not try to access any movieClips, or sprites before they have been loaded... as they are not actually referenced from a document class).However my 1st frame where I have my preloader takes ages to load... My first question is... Does this happen because the loading procedure is different now? Or has it always worked like this... so that would mean that as I have many heavy assets in my library that are meant to load on frame 1. (Exported for actionscript in properties).I have a blank movie for a while. I'm using a simple code:
stop()
import flash.events.*;
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PRO GRESS, Loading);
[code].....
I have created a flash game which is about 11 MB in size and i have created the progBar in the first frame of the swf...
But it only shows the loading process after few MBs of data beign loaded...which might take some time and cause the user to close the tab..
I dont want this to happen...How i could tell the user at least that the swf is loading without any percentage and all the animations.
I have a site that deals with large video files (sports videos). The site allows users to upload any source file, but most of the videos come from DVDs. I am currently using a modified version of jumploader to encode and upload files to the webserver with an HTTP request. The jumploader is a java client, and looking at my webstats, only about 75% of my users have java installed.
What I want: I have looked for a flash based uploader that transfers a byte stream to a server. Byte streams would be ideal so I can capture partial videos for failed uploads. I have also looked for flash-based ftp clients, but I haven't found anything promising. There are some flash-based uploaders that post via HTTP, and I'm considering this. I do not want to use a simple file post. Some upload methods also put the full file into memory first, and this obviously is not an option for me.
I'm writing a small mp3 player. It reads the playlist from an xml file, then at the end of a song (or when the "Next" button is pressed) automatically plays the next song in the list.My problem is that if the song is a large file (around 16MB), the player doesn't play the song -- I have to click pause then play a couple of times to play it.
The code is roughly:
Code:
function playSong():Void
{
tune = new Sound();

where 'tunes' is an array of paths to the file. I've missed out a couple of things, but that's basically it. Is there an issue with loadSound needing to load some of the song first?
I have to work with arather large XML file (about 25Mo).From that XML file (which I CAN'T touch in any manner), I actually need only a couple attributes in each nodes.Parsing the whole XML to load the data will (of course) lead to a "A script in this move is causing Flash Player to run slowly..."Ideally, I would like to browse the XML, only parsing data needed (like you would do in a database...without having to load the whole database before ;-)But I think this is not possible? Isn't it?So, I was wondering: why shouldn't I treat it like a text file, reading it and taking only the info needed from the file?The problem is that I don't exactly see how to do ;-)Following is a copy paste of the first node only...how would you do to read this text and put in an array:name, cloneof and description?etecting the node name, checking that it exists(i.e 'cloneof" isn't present in each node), and filling the array with the value
Code:
<game name="puckmana" sourcefile="pacman.c" cloneof="puckman" romof="puckman">

Is it possible for in a website to start loading a file after it's loaded the initial setup, so that when the user clicks to see the larger file, it's already loaded, or at least part of it's started loading, all without totally stopping other basic rollover functions and so on that appear with the initial setup?
View 3 RepliesI need a flash uploader, to use it in my CMS project. I need something like this, but with greater max upload size (it doesn't allow to upload files larger ini_get('upload_max_filesize')).
My server doesn't allow me to overwrite ini settings, so I'm looking for an uploader which can upload large files independently from the ini settings.
I'm working together with some designers to build a project in flash CS4. They normally send me their work as either jpg's or png files. When importing a sequence of png files I find that flash slows down considerably... but not only that, when I try to copy and paste a symbol that contains transparent png in their timeline it crashes. For instance if I select a frame which contains a movieclip with png's inside from the general timeline, and try to paste that frame on another layer I will get a message of Flash stopped working and eventually it just closes down. I tried this on a version of Flash CS5 and it also has the same problem but worse, as soon as you press Control + C the whole thing closes down. I'm suspecting this is caused by large transparent png files, but I'm not sure.

ie, is it maybe something more wrong with my server? flash dosent have some upload limit i dont know about?
