ActionScript 2.0 ::Launch A 'download File' Window Within Flash?
Oct 12, 2010
I'm making an interactive cd in flash, I'm wondering how I can prompt the user with a way of saving video files (.mp4) to their computers.
Ideally they would click on a 'download video' button and then would be prompted with the usual window allowing them to choose where to save the file and name it.
Is there a way to do this within flash?
I've been using fscommand to launch files, can it be used to save files as well?
I'm getting an anoying problem in IE6.02 when trying to download a file through flex + struts action, the browser opens a new window and doesn't close it after the download has finished.
The flex code is: navigateToURL(url,"_blank"); The content headers are: HTTP/1.x 200 OK Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:00:44 GMT Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: application-download; charset=UTF-8 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=myfile.pdf X-Powered-By: Servlet/2.4 JSP/2.0
Also, we tried with Content-Type: application/pdf; charset=UTF-8 How do I close the new opened window automatically? In FF works perfectly.
how to open a PDF in Flash CS5 that will launch into a popup browser window. In CS3/CS4 I used the "geturl" command and it worked perfect. In CS5, the geturl command always wants to open a url (ex. [URL]) instead of a local file on my drive. Is there any way around this to make it work like the older versions of Flash? Basically stop it from trying to launch the [URL]?
i have a flash site that links to PDF's with the navigateToURL function which works etc But now i would like Link to rather open up a download window instead of just a new browser window?
So I read through Kirupa's XML/Flash thumbnail gallery tutorial and have since modified some of its actionscripting to display my online design portfolio. How do I make it so that 'LAUNCH PROJECT' is a link? Here is the modified Actionscripting (I have one of each for the 3 sections):
Code: function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { xmlNode = this.firstChild;[code]....
As you can see at the bottom of the actionscript, I added a gotoURL action, hoping that simply by making <launch> read <launch action="gotoURL" variables="http:url...> that it would become a link. I, however, have had no such luck. Perhaps I have to add something more. How do I make it so that <launch></launch> has the ability to link to an URL?
I am making a flash project with photos - videos and many things like that.I would like to be able to have a download button on every picture for example.I only know the getURL("Image1.jpg", "_blank"); functionBut this is not the way i like it cause it opens the image or other into a new window.I want to be able to download it and not see it in a new window...Is there a way even with php connection to open this download window when i choose to download something from flash project?
I have a preloader that measures the size of the external swf, then goes to a frame with a 'launch site' button on it. When the button is clicked, I'd like a popup window to open that is the exact size of the swf file (1100x800), but I can't figure out how to do that. I know there is some combination of AS3 and javascript required. Has anyone done this? I cannot attach the preloader file that launches the external swf since this is my first post, but have it available if anyone wants it. I also have the site online for viewing as it is currently (just loads then opens in same window)
I have a fullscreen flash .exe file. I want to be able to use the fscommand "execute" to launch an application "in front of" the fullscreen without escaping from the fullscreen. So it's like fullscreen with popups. I don't think it can be done, and some extensive research backs up my hunch, but I thought I'd run it by here and see if anyone has accomplished this.
I have a flash application in which there is a button. On clicking that button, a pps file should play. What I did is published the flash file in a projector format (.exe), created a folder named 'fscommand' and put the pps file inside that folder, and tried to launch the file lying inside that folder from this flash file by using following codes:
on (release) { fscommand ("exec", "file.pps"); }
Another way I tried which I found is:created a .bat file named launch.bat, put it in that folder & tried to launch the pps file via this .bat file using following codes:
I found a great tutorial on launching a centered pop up window that kirupa posted and firefox won't execute it correctly or at all. I'm extremely frustrated because I need pop ups for my site to work and now it only functions in internet explorer or safari (mac). The url for the tutorial is [Url]
The way it works is that you have a frame action with the following function:
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.
I want to download files from the server side to client side without prompting a window to the user to download when any updates happen at server side.Right now I am using urlstream class but first file is downloading completely rest of the files contents downloading partially.
editCode sample taken from other post. Warning: it's a huuuge chunk o'code.
I get the alert but I can't get the lightbox window to display. When my as code makes the ExternalInterface call I get what looks like a page refresh and a blank browser window.
I can make a flash movie (adobe Flash CS3) and use the flv, swf, script file, html file, but when I launch it from the web page it opens a new window. How can I launch a flash movie so that it plays in the original web page?
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'm making a flash project that will end up as an .exe file on a CD..I was wondering if there was a way to launch a pdf in this file. I know on the web, I could use the:[code]but I don't think this will work in an .exe file? Does anyone have any way to accomplish this?
Is it possible to create a flash file hosted on [URL] and embedded on [URL] that redirects to [URL]? If yes than how? And is it possible to create a flash file that starts a download automatic without user action? Im using Adobe flash professional CS5 and Actionscript 3.
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.
