Does anyone know if there is any way for a Flash projector (either .exe or Mac app) to create or modify a file to the local file system? This could be anything... Flash creating a txt file, xml file, swf, anything at all.

View 3 RepliesI am opening and testing data using the FileStream class which is supposed to avoid file security issues. It works fine until I try to save to a local file. When I test under adl I get a security error which I though was ok (at least it was attempting to save) until the app was packaged and tested on a device, but the file fails to save.

I was given the task of altering a Flash animation (no AS) in a way that it would collect data from WSDL, write it to a text file and then use that data each subsequent time it runs.
You see, the Flash animation is part of a playlist (digital signage) and has a set duration which doesn't allow for network problems while retrieving data from WSDL. So while I got it to work fine by just displaying the WSDL data directly - it sometimes times out.
I have the retrieving from WSDL part down (flex), I can even read stuff from .txt files, but can't do the middle part - writing the variables into a .txt file.
I think it can only access the network but not local file system, but from internet some people said it can in the newest version, can anybody confirm? It can reach arbitrarily file or just a specific location?
View 2 RepliesYes, you can access Local File System in Flex and that too with a standard SWF without resorting to Adobe Air.Check out the link below for full details and the SWF.

I'm trying to access local file system from Flex web application. I know it is pretty difficult, but I think there must be a way. Is there a way that Flex app can use AIR components or maybe web application can call some AIR module in order to choose files and upload?

View 2 RepliesI am seeing repeated comments on this discussion forum that it's not possible to save data from Flash into a locally stored XML file . . . but there must be a way to do this. Why is you can read data from a locally stored XML file but not update or add data to it. how absurd a design would that be, it simply wouldn't be logical!

View 2 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 & Actionscript 3.0 to create a grid with different objects that a user can move with the mouse. This is a standalone application meant to be used on a Windows machine. Is there a way to download and save the user's responses (viz. location of mouse, type of object clicked, etc.) onto the local computer without using the Flash Debugger?
I came across an article [URL] which states that it is possible to save local data onto a user's computer without a backend script (e.g. php) in Flash Player 10 but the article doesn't really say how this is done.
how do you upload the image for temporary savings and then save it down to the local map?
My Situation: Making an flash website for my father in law and we got a server/domain which has got no database... Which make it impossible to basicly just save it to a database.
so I will make a admin place where he can go on and save the image to a map specified. and then it will upload the images by it self...
So how do I move the image from the local computer to the server where the website is. He wount have access to the server so he can't manually go in and put the images into the folder he needs an admin way of the website to save the images into the folder by remote access.
how to use this package but I can't seem to understand how to use this for local usage.

I am new to Flash/ActionScript, and I am having a lot of fun creating a project in Flash. am working on a character tracker (yes I am totaly geeking out) an I was wondering how to save the data I have entered into the project (hit points etc...) and load it back next time I opened it. The data would be saved on my local machine. How can I get Flash/ActionScript to do this?
View 11 RepliesI need to be able to save and load images into an SQLite database using Flex 4.5 for a mobile application. The use case is this:
Inside the view there is a spark Image object with a URL as a source
When user clicks button, the Image is saved to an SQLite db inside a BLOB field.
In a separate Image, the source is set to the ByteArray stored in the db.
The biggest question so far is this: where do I get the ByteArray for a loaded Image? I've tried debugging and inspecting Image, BitmapImage, and BitMapData but there's no sign of the byte array.... perhaps it's inside the ContentLoader? But that's null unless I enable caching.
I've done some research and there are no complete examples for how to handle this. I've written a simple View that anyone can copy and paste into a new project. It will compile without errors and can be used for testing. I will update this code as I get the answers I need so that anyone can have a fully working example of this workflow.The only caveat: I used a synchronous connection to the DB to avoid complicating the code with event handlers, I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.I will only mark this question as answered once it is fully functioning both ways.
UPDATE SEPT. 09 2011: The code below is now fully functioning in both directions (save and load). Here are some of the things I've learned: It turns out that the ByteArray of a spark Image can be found inside the LoaderInfo of the image itself. Like this:
image.loaderInfo.bytes
However, trying to set this ByteArray as the source of another image ( image2.source = image1.loaderInfo.bytes) results in this security error: Error #3226: Cannot import a SWF file when LoaderContext.allowCodeImport is false.Which is too bad because it would save so much time and processing power.the workaround is to encode the ByteArray using either a JPEGEncoder or a PNGEncoder. I used the JPEGEncoder which produces much smaller files. Here's how:
var encoder:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder(75);
var imageByteArray:ByteArray = encoder.encode(imageToSave.bitmapData);
Now the problem is saving these bytes to the DB. Saving them as they are now will not work once we read them out, I'm not sure why. So the solution is to encode them into a base64 string like this:
var baseEncoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
baseEncoder.encodeBytes(imageByteArray);
var encodedBytes:String = baseEncoder.toString();
So now just save that string into the BLOB field and later read it out. However, you have to decode it from a base64 string to a ByteArray like this:
var encodedBytes:String = result.data[0].imagedata;
var baseDecoder:Base64Decoder = new Base64Decoder();
baseDecoder.decode(encodedBytes);
var byteArray:ByteArray = baseDecoder.toByteArray();
Now assign the bytearray as the source of your image and you're done. Simple right?if you find any optimizations or alternative ways to do this.I will respond and keep this code updated if need be.

View 2 RepliesI am trying create a tool for office use which builds a XML file on the users computer. I am able to output XML to the trace screen but I want to take it a step further and have that XML code saved to a document on the users computer. Each time the user enters text and hits submit, a new block of XML needs to be saved to that file. From what I understand, I need a "middle man" application such as Adobe AIR. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have been trying to research this for a few days now. And if AIR is the solution, why is it so non-user friendly to get the extension to work? I also heard something about being able to do this with CS4.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a quiz in Flash CS5. I have coded all the quiz so that it is done in different frames, such as the start screen in frame 1, then the five questions in frames, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (one for each question). How would I create a scoring system so that if the user got a question right it would add 1 to the score but continue scoring through to the next frame? It needs to have a pass rate of 4 out of 5 correct answers.
