ActionScript 2.0 :: File Upload/download With Flash?
May 24, 2007
Since Flash 8 FileReference API was introduced, and file upload/download through Flash finally became possible. The API has one troubling limitation though, which is the 100mb limit for file transfer.
I'm developing a browser based file transfer utility, and I would have wanted to implement it with solely Flash. It has to have the ability to manage far larger files than 100mb. Does anyone know a way to overcome this limitation, or have another solution for file upload/download through Flash 8?

I've got a situation that involves error #2174. Flash 10 apparently doesn't allow more than one upload/download/load/save at a time, but my code doesn't actually do that. A skeleton:
ActionScript Code:
private function uploadFile(endpoint:String):void
{

Some friends asked me to build them a site so their clients could use a private part of the site to upload and download files like in a FTP program (with user/password). I've searched the web, but only found a few uploaders that don't allow to also download and manage the files uploaded. I've noticed on my searches an extension called "yamzbrowser", but it is an old piece of software, and in a quick test I've found that it is not all browser compatible. In fact, I was not able to upload a simple file using the popular IE 7...
Is there any script, extension or toll that allow multiple users to upload / download, and manage (see, delete, rename) files inside a Flash page? Maybe a HTML solution that could be loaded inside a Flash page...

i seem to have a time delay problem that is stopping my flash site work properly through php with a mysql database.
here is basically how the site works so far. after entering some stuff in input text fields, clicking on "uploadNewData_mc" sends the new data to the database. this works ok and the database is immediately updated.
clicking on refresh_mc runs a function fillFields() which loads all the db information into my flash file. again, all the as3 and php is working perfectly here.
where i am having a problem is when i try to have one button that uploads all new data to the database and then runs the fillFields function and refreshes the flash file.
this seems easy enough but i am assuming that fillFields is being run before the new data has got to the db, as nothing of the new data is being sent back. here below is the as3 that i am using to upload.
summary: uploading to db works. downloading from the db works. uploading new data then downloading everything from the click of one button is not working.
ActionScript Code:
var djToData:URLRequest = new URLRequest("php/update_djTo.php");
djToData.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;3
[Code].....

my listener.onComplete = function(selectedFile:FileReference) is fired without any file in the upload dir. if the file is small and I wait a bit I can see the file (through FTP) coming up on the server, but most of the times the "onComplete" if fired without any file being saved.
can I add something to this php code to make sure the file is uploaded?

I am writing a script to upload and download images. I have a cancel btn that is giving me an error, undefined method.
ActionScript Code:
// First thing is to set the flashing upload message clip to invisible
uploadMsg.visible = false;
// Set the URL for the PHP uploader script
var URLrequestUp:URLRequest = new URLRequest;
var URLrequestdown:URLRequest = new URLRequest;
// Assign the image types Filter

So I basically have used the fileReference class to allow the user to download a determined file if he wants to.
I use the file.download(URL) function and it works well.
However, the file is downloaded and saved to the hard drive using only the flash player. The browser is not aware of the download, and thus, if I want to show the progress of the download I'd have to make some progress bar myself. I know how to do it, but it would become really tedious and take too much UI space.
Isn't there a damn way in Flash to "send" a determined file to the browser so that it prompts the user to download it? It's an image file, so navigateToURL doesn't cut it since it will just display the image, both if I use a new tab or the current one.

If you have an .as file in the global include directory do you have to upload it to your server with the flash file or does it compile the flash file with the included info?

Is there any "mainstream" library used for this purpose? Commonly spread, well maintained, documented etc.I found these (using flash):
Uploadify - not many releases, latest 12/2010, no documentation (!)
SWFUpload - latest release 03/2010, documentation
fancyupload - looks buggy.
phpfileuploader - looks heavyweight, and looks commercial (?) I cannot read the licence (you can download it but are you allowed to use it forever without paying?) plupload New version of pure javascript (no flash) Valums' ajax upload claims to handle file size limit and progress bar, which is quite suspicious to me: these features require to guess the file size before the upload, which seems impossible in javascript (look also here). Or can it work?

I'm trying to download a zip file through Flash via a php file using this code:
FLASH:
getURL("download.php?filename=TheFileName.zip");
PHP:
<?php
// download.php
[code]....
Trouble is when I run Flash, the dialog box for the download just picks up the php file and not the zip file.

Basically I created a flash site and uploaded it onto the server provider the client chose using cute ftp. That's all fine but now they want to add a link enabling the viewer to download a PDF straight to their desktop. As I can't upload a PDF file to the Flash library, was wondering if anyone had any tips on creating this function?

I am creating a web site using Flash CS3 actionscript 2.0.I know how to but the one extra thing I need to do for this site is create a button that anyone looking at the site can click and it automatically downloads a zip file containing music. (it's a site for a band who want their fans to be able to download their music.)A lot of the information I am finding pertains to PHP, which I don't understand. As I use action script 2.0, I am not familiar with much code.[code]but I most be doing something wrong b/c an error always comes up when I check the code.Also, I make a button, give it an instance name, but I don't enter that anywhere in the action script.so I know something has to be wrong, b/c the only thing I do is create a zip file, name it and enter it in the action script.

I am using the file reference class (FILE UPLOAD) in an application for the web.
it seems to work eg. listeners and messages relaying back to the flash doc. however the actual file itself that i am uploading does not show up in the folder i am uploading to?
The php code and actionscript code is taken straight from F1 help in flash....so what gives?
