Im using this code

However, it doesn't work. It works when I put the full absolute address, instead of simply "images/img1.jpg" . Is there any way to use a relative address?!?!? Probably attach the relative address to the URL property?
I am new to Flash and ActionScript 3.0 environment. I don't have any knowledge in depth with Flash and ActionScript 3.0. I am using the flash(.swf file) in my Java application. Now, this .swf file is to be placed in the server system. While I am working with these, I faced an error. Here, my issue/problem(s) starts....
1.)With the help of URLRequest & URLLoader classes, I am loading a jpg file dynamically onto the stage using the following code:

I have doubt about relative and absolute path. I mostly use relative path to load xml, sound and image Is there any problem with cross domain policy?Which one is better in web projects?
View 1 RepliesI am working in Flash CS4. I have successfully run a .wmv file through the Media Encoder, converted it to a f4v file, imported it into Flash, and published it with a skin to a folder on my hard drive.I am learning this on my own (no one else in my state agency knows Flash - we are just getting started with posting videos on the Internet, and this is the test case).I get the following four files in one folder on my hard drive (I have put in parentheses what I think the files do, please correct if I am wrong):
oil.f4v (the movie file)
Test.html (the html page in which the swf file is embedded to play back the movie)
Test.swf (the swf file that is embedded in the html page)
SkinUnderPlayStopSeekMuteVol.swf (the skin file that is linked to from the Test.swf file??)
My question is: As long as these four files stay in the original folder, the html page plays the movie perfectly. As soon as I rename the folder, nothing works. It appears to be a question of re-establishing a relative/absolute link among the files? I want to post these to my live site in order to test, but of course that won't work yet either.
I have a bunch of Flash (.fla) files where I need to convert all absolute (root) target paths in timeline scripts to relevant relative ones. Doing it manually in Flash CS4 is very tedious work and using "replace" action is tedious too as there are multiple nested timelines. Is there any way to automate this task?
View 4 RepliesI am working with Flex, and I need to take a relative URL source property and convert it to an absolute URL before loading it.
The specific case I am working with involves tweaking SoundEffect's load method. I need to determine if a file will be loaded from the local file system or over the network from looking at the source property, and the easiest way I've found to do this is to generate the absolute URL.
I'm having trouble generating the absolute URL for sound effect in particular. Here were my initial thoughts, which haven't worked.
Look for the DisplayObject that the Sound Effect targets, and use its loaderInfo property. The target is null when the SoundEffect loads, so this doesn't work.
Look at FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication, at the url or loaderInfo properties. Neither of these are set, however. Look at the FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.systemManager.loaderInfo. This was also not set.
The SoundEffect.as code basically boils down to
var url:String = "mySound.mp3";
/*>> I'd like to convert the URL to absolute form here and tweak it as necessary <<*/
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(req);
I would also be perfectly satisfied with some way to tell whether the url will be loaded from the local file system or over the network. Looking at an absolute URL it would just be easy to look at the prefix, like file:// or http://.
I'm attempting to use a relative path with SendAndLoad to my php query page named variables.php. Things seem to work just fine when I reference variables.php using an absolute path [URL], but variables are being returned as undefined when I attempt to call the page using just "variables.php." To add complexity, the swf is being referenced in an included page which is wrapped inside another page.
I know the path needs to be relative to the html/php page, not the swf itself. But what if the html page where the swf is encoded is actually being called from within another wrapper? I'm assuming the path needs to be relative to the final page, regardless. My guess is that the php isn't being parsed correctly when called via the relative path, which is the cause of my problem. Can anyone provide any insight? /dir/media/myflash.swf is called by /includes/myincludedswf.php which is then called by /home/final page.php if variables.php resides in the home directory, shouldn't I be able to use the path "variables.php" in the SendAndLoad directive?
Im a bit confused about the adressing of .swf-files loaded into levels of another .swf-file.The adressing seem to be absolute, ie. if a sub.swf (which is loaded into a super.swf from another location) uses some sort of adressing (for instance, loading an image), that adress must include the path from the super.swf.
Cant you change that somehow, so that sub.swf's can adress other stuff relatively to its own adress?
Can you do that globally (so that relative adressing is used by every .swf)?Can you set it individually, so that adressing is relative only from the specified swf's?
I am wanting to allow a user to select an image from their computer to use as a BG. FileReference does this job well, however it does not provide the absolute path to the selected file.
I want the selected BG to stay in their "save" (local SharedObject cookie) so that it can be loaded the next time they come back. But since FileReference only provides me with the filename, I'm not sure how to go about storing this information for later. I could, I suppose, store the image data into the cookie directly, but that would be terribly inefficient since many BG images are rather large for a cookie.
how I can go about finding the image file path that the user selected, or efficiently saving the image they chose?
Is it generally to position elements relative to other elements or in absolute values?
View 2 RepliesDoes anyone know a way to use a relative reference with the download? I would be surprised if only absolute references will work but I can't find a solution.
This code just gives me this error (as expect by the live docs) Error #2039: Invalid remote URL protocol. The remote URL protocol must be HTTP or HTTPS.
Code:
trace(s);//someFile.pdf
var downloadURL:URLRequest= new URLRequest(s);
var fileName:String=s;

This is a head scratcher. Why would a root relative path cause a Security Sandbox error.. but an absolute path to the exact same path work fine..

What does _level0,_parent and _root mean in flash?What's the difference between absolute path and relative path?
View 1 RepliesI'm using FileReference to retrieve an exported CSV file from the server. The fileReference.download(url, "myFilename.csv") method call seems to be working and I can download the file.
The only problem with this is that I can't seem to be able to set the file filter. In my save dialog, the file type filter is always *.*, which is really bad. The user trying to save the file has to manually type in the .csv extension. How do I change the filter of the dialog box to only show *.csv and not

Is there anyway to download a file with the URLLoader and then save it to the disk without using filereference or anything that uses a dialog? This is what I have but isn't working:

I have a flash app that uses the FileReference download method to serve up download links. Many of the links come from big content delviry networks and a crossdomain policy file is required to avoid a security error. This all works fine. Except for redirects in IE... in FF redirects work.
A typical Charles log in FF looks like this....
Code:
1) 302: download file temporarily moved
2) 302: download file found
3) 200: download file received OK
[Code].....
....the request for the crossdomain policy file is not being made in IE & thus flash blocks access to the download (client closed connection). The flash throws the traditional 2048 security error - which is what I'd expect if no crossdomain is available. It's worth noting that downloads without a redirect work fine in IE, the crossdomain is requested & received.
As far as I can make out there is no way to force "checkPolicyFile" with FileReference - it doesn't take a LoaderContext object. I'm at a loss of what I can do to resolve this without putting a proxy on our webserver (the backend guru will not allow this as the downloads can be quite large & he thinks will end up being a huge bottleneck).
I'm using the FileReference to download a file (using a relative path). If I test it on the .swf on the browser it works. If I compile a .exe projector the download doesn't works.
View 1 RepliesI need user download JPEG file from my app, however, when user change the file name the saved file will be downloaded without extension.
For Example: I am using FileReference.download() and set the default filename as "demoPic.jpg" and user's windows system setting control file extension not being shown. So when the dialog opens a download window, only "demoPic" shown as the filename. If user saved file without changing filename, the saved file will be OK. But if user change file name, the download file will be saved without extension. is it possible to add file extension to filename when user forget it by flex code?
I need to allow a user to download images from my app, but everytime a user attempts to download, the extension is stripped from the filename I provide.This is only happening in Firefox & IE on Windows. It's working just fine on OSX.
I'm using FileReference.download(), and specifying the filename as "imageX.jpg". However, when the file dialog opens on Windows to save the document, only "imageX" is shown as the filename, and the extension is never saved. In the "Save As type..." field, there is only the "*.*" option available.
The majority of our users aren't technically savvy, so a lot of them don't realize that if they put a .jpg extension on the file they just downloaded, they'll be able to view the image.
I am using this code to download a file from a server (podcast episode mp3) but I click the submit button and nothing happens. The text field shows "Downloading episode X" but nothing happens, no browse-to-save window pops up or anything. Here is my entire code, no external.It simply uses AMFPHP to drawback results to see if the podcast episode exists. If it returns a 1, the fileReference download is triggered. I'm pretty sure the rest of the code is fine, its just the "localRef.download(requestF);" bit that seems to be doing nothing.[Code].....

I've built an audio player that is fed via an xml file. Users can use a 'previous' or 'next' button to select which track to listen to and then play it and this is all fine and works as it should. The problem I have is with the file reference class. I want users to be able to have the option of downloading the track. I can get this function to work once but once you download a track, choose another, then click the download button again I get the error message below:

I am trying to use fileReference.download to allow users to download content from my site. The problem is, when I test it in Flash, it works flawlessly. When I publish it and upload it to my server it doesn't download. It'll bring up the download box... but it wont initiate the download. What I am doing is dynamically creating text boxes using the amount of XML nodes in my xml file. It will then assign the proper download file to that text box/download button.
its just not initiating the download in my browser.

I'm trying to get my flash movie to allow the user to download a file of a specific extension, at the moment i use:
[Code]....
Two problems:
a) If the user changes the file name in the browser before clicking save (and doesn't re-add the .xml extension) then the file is saved without an extension
b) Randomly, tested on two windows xp systems both in IE one included the extension in the filename on the browser download window and one didn't (which doesn't make it clear to the user they have to include the extension as part of the name) but both saved to the correct xml extension file
a) If there is a work around so I can specify the exact file type, in the adobe reference manual it states you can parse in extra parameters to server with the file location to download. How would i do this?
b) If can't do a, how can I get it to always display the extension in the browser download window (unlike in problem b )
I've been searching through code FOREVER and can't find anything helpful or functional yet. Right now I have a page that downloads a file to the user's computer when you click a button. But, I want to create a loader so that the user can follow the progress of their download as well as a way to go to the next frame on the main timeline when the download is complete.

Possible Duplicate: losing extension when use FileReference download I'm having an issue that looks common when using the FileReference class in FP10 when saving a file. The whole thing works fine as long as I don't change the default filename. If I do, then I loose the extension of the file... which is annoying >_< I haven't found any "acceptable" workaround, but the posts I've seen are from a couple of months already. So I'm inquiring hoping that something's been done regarding this issue since then =)
View 1 RepliesI use fileReference.download() to download files. The fileReference send request to java servlet.In servlet, some error may be checked. For example error - 'File not found'. I want to send the error to flex side. I tried lots of methods,but fileReference in flex can't receive them.Such asresponse.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND, "File not found");r PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter(); out.print("File not found");It seems fileReference can't triggers event 'DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA' and'HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS'.
