Does anyone know if it's possible to make a "browse" applet in Flash MX? That is, bring up a window that lets the users navigate through their computer's directories, and have it return the path to the file they select?

Is anybody able to figure out what's wrong with this (or specifically why it doesn't work in mac browsers)?

I've tried lots of different options including the yamago component [URL]. The yamago component works but I don't like the complexity of the code, it's difficult to edit. It also doesn't work in safari on a MAC.
My example above is the simplest version I've been able to get working but unfortunately only on PC.
I was wondering if there is a way to do a browse button for a field in flash, a la php where you click it, you can navigate a file you want to upload, and it populates the file in the text field (basically a file upload type of thing). i know that you will need to use php/mysql to go along with it

With this you select a file and the path will appear as a string in the textfield. Now the thing I want is to call the function, when I click a button in Flash, that chooses a file and passing the string back to flash, to put it there in a textfield. But how do you call that function?

Can you by any means of java script or anything else get a browse window to pop up from within flash? Return the selected file, or even get a php script to upload it?

View 1 RepliesWe have an issue were the server session associated with a Flex client times out when the browse file dialog is open for a time longer then the configured session timeout. It seems that on some players, the playback is stopped when browse or download on a FileReference is executing. This also causes remote calls to be blocked and hence our manual keep-alive messages are not sent to the server, resulting in a session timeout. I searched for some info on this in the docs and found a notice of it, but it does not explicitly list the players it does (not) work. Would anyone know were I could find a complete list?

In Flex 4, I am trying to make a simple browse button update the text field of an TextInput object with the file name that the browse button gets. It doesn't have to be the full path, all I want is the file name to show up. It only shows up after hitting the browse button for a second time, not after I have selected my file the first time. Here is my code:
import flash.net.FileReference;
private var fileReferencer:FileReference = new FileReference();
private var excelFilter:FileFilter = new FileFilter("*.xlsx", "*.xlsx;*.xls;");
protected var fileName:String = new String("");
[Code]....
So to recap, the file name is only shown in my TextInput box upon hitting the browse button a second time.
I know very little about Flash so I apologize in advance for asking what is possibly a dumb question, although I did a fair bit of research before posting. Our current Flash app, written in AS3.0, is able to display a standard OS browse dialog for the purpose of allowing a user to select files. We are using [URL] to display this dialog.
The documentation for FileReferenceList states that only files could be selected. The new requirement is to allow the user to select directories as well as files. Afterward it would be very nice, but not required, to be able to get a recursive list of all the files in the selected directory. Is it possible to implement this in Flash running inside a browser? The closest I've seen so far is [URL] which does what I want but it only seems to work inside Adobe AIR and is not exposed to the browser.
Is there any way to get full path of a file which the user selects after clicking the browse button... ive read somewhere that using the FileReference in ActionScript we can pop up the browse dialog box by using the
FileReference.browse();
is there any way to extract the file path from this?Actually i need to use that path to Load the image later in the APPLICATION..
We have noticed a possible bug in the Flash Player within Mac's latest OS version Snow Leopard.
When a Browse for file dialog is initiated, upon returning to the browser. It's as if there is a layer above the flash app which stops interaction with the mouse. MouseOver events no longer take place and a click is require to remove this layer. If you move your mouse at all after the click this invisible layer returns limiting interaction.
We have tested this with 2 macs running snow leopard and the latest Flash Player. And also verified it is not an issue on Mac OSX previous to Snow Leopard.
It seems to effect only FF and Safari. Opera functions correctly.. Here is a video we created documenting the problem: [URL]
We have not had any customers complain about this yet. But if it's infact a bug, it's just a matter of time.
This is the first time i am working in action script. I have seen a flash programmer working with it. since i know javascript i was able to work in action script. I am creating a file upload component for my php projects. Until now i have advanced to show the file dialog box using the FileReference api. The select event is not firing for me. and i did not get any error.

[Code]...
I am trying to call the browse() method of the FileReference class from JavaScript (a user clicks on a text that uses the ExternalInterface to call a method in Flash).Unfortunately, I receive an error that tells me it has to be a direct action of the user (like clicking a button). I have searched through Google and realized this is a new security feature in Flash 10.The only solutions I could find was to put a Flash button or to have a hidden flash button over the text, that will call the browse() method.I wanted the browser only to show JavaScript and all the Flash code only called from JavaScript.

View 1 RepliesI'm having troubles with a contact form containing two file uploads (two buttons with Filereference.browse()-call). On all of my computers, the form works fine (Mac + PC); my client, however, reports a 20-second delay on opening the second browse dialog box (the first one opens right away). Client is on a Mac with latest Flash player version. If he double-clicks it, there is no delay. If he first clicks the second button, the delay is on the first.

I have created an image cropper application that upload an image, crop it and generates an jpg to server.BUT, this works perfectly well locally at my Mac at work, online on the server, but not locally at my laptop at home???Why and what the *** can I do?Everything seems fine. I click browse, and the fileReference opens the finder dialog box. But whatever I press, doubleclick the image, press select etc, flash tracks this as if I clicked cancel. The fileRef.onCancel activates, insted of the onSelect???Could it be something wrong with my flash program? Is it anything I can do to fix this (change somthing in the preferenced etc.)?

View 2 RepliesI'm actually having problems with some AS code. I have a news ticker successfuly adapted from this site, and it's working okay. But I have to add some features I cannot solve by myself, so I 'm asking some help here. My problem is the following :
By what means can I force the Setinterval to be "skipped" (I'd like to add a fast forward/rewind buttons) with a simple MC ? I know a bit about the clearInterval function, but this leads to an akward behaviour of my flash movie (once skipped, the XML is not read in a chronological order� and so on).
The trick is that I I have differents controls type :
- a simple combo previous/next + play-pause buttons
- 4 areas that lead to a particular node (which works partially)
Instead of posting the whole code here, I attach my source .fla + XML (to be renamed as .xml extension is not recognized in the attachments) for you to see how messy is my code (more than partially adapted from the news_ticker.fla used on the tutorials here)
