ActionScript 2.0 :: Upload Image Within Standalone Player?
Jan 12, 2010
I'm (slowly) creating a product configurator application and want to add in a mini application which can determine branding on a product (baseball caps).
What Im looking to be able to do is for the customer to be able to upload their own logo - and it be displayed within the application - which they can then print off and send to us as an order form for pricing etc.
Normally this would be fine - as I could load the image onto a server - however this application is going to be distributed via CD (part of a Product Launch Kit) and so will be completely standalone.
Is there any way that this can be achieved? I imagine that I wouldnt be able to get the application to save the image to a temp folder on the customers computer - but is there any other way?
What should I use to test my swf movies on another (not my development machine) ?When I open them with IE or firefox the Flash active x player doesnt have the zoom 100% option so I end up with distorted (resized to window) swf is there a standalone flash player for that kind of purposes or something?
I have made a swf file that requires Flash Player 10.1 to play back properly. I have successfully updated to Flash Player 10.1 in my browsers, and if I open this swf file in a browser it functions correctly.
However, I want to be able to play it back in the standalone Flash Player that came with Flash CS4 Professional, and it was not updated from 10.0 to 10.1 when I updated to 10.1 for my browsers. How can I update this software to a newer version?
Is it possible to pass flashvars to standalone flash player via the commandline? Among other reasons, I want to run some unit tests from the command line.
I have a problem with the standalone Linux Flash player. The thing is that when I have a video playing in background and over it I make some tweens, it flickers all the time and it is an annoying flicker. It happens only on Linux Flash Player (it works on Windows Flash Player). The flicker appears when I have a video on background, only when the tween is made and on the portion of the screen where the tween is made. I have Ubuntu 9.04 installed and the latest version of standalone Flash Player (from 2/24/09). I've tried this on several LCD and on all it does the same. My video card has the Intel G31 Express Chipset (the drivers for the video card are the one from Ubuntu).

I'm trying to run a Flex AS project, without the HTML wrapper, so just in the standalone player but I'm getting an error:
Flex Builder cannot locate the required version of Flash Player
It's looking for it in the 'Flex Builder 3 plug in' directory - which I've uninstalled in preference to the stand alone Flex Builder - how do I change the path to the player?
I'm having problems with text fields in full screen. I'm aware of the security restriction but Adobe says text fields are disabled only when running in a browser, text fields should be OK when in standalone player or AIR. I'm exporting a .exe file and text fields become immediately disabled when I go to Full Screen. I can't develop the thing in AIR (to use FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE ) due to company restrictions on installing software. So the standalone exe is the right solution to me, this should be working, but it isn't.
How can i design a 3D carousel for video/images to run on standalone Flash Player on my Desktop? I am using Flash Builder 4 to develop this as a mxml application, but found that it doesn't allow access to local filesystem. My specific requirement is that I want it running on the local computer and in SWF files viewed in a user's browser. Is there a sample code to do what I am trying to do? This application has states and transition, like one state for a video gallery and one state for a image gallery
I am trying to publish the video of a webcam to a Flash Media Server 2.My code is working in the Flash standalone player (tested with 10.0 and 10.2), but not in the browser plugin (tested with 10.2, both in IE and Opera.The connection to my FMS is working successfully, but after the publish, nothing happens, I never get the NetStream.Publish.Start Event. On the server I can see the connection in the management console, even the stream in the streams tab. But I cannot connect to that strea.[code]
I'm trying to find a way to have a standalone debug player on Ubuntu Lucid 64 bit. It seems that Adobe doesn't distribute such thing, however, it may be possible to rung 32 bit version, or is it?
[code]I open IMAGEURL.txt, which contains a variable named "img" with a value in it. I call that value and set it to myurl. Then, I load myurl's image into img_container.This works when I test the swf while flash open, but not while I test in the standalone swf thats exported on my computer, or on a browser. Something about internet settings came up as well, til I published to "allow network only".
EDIT: Reworked my code a bit and decided to throw out URLLoader in favor of the ile.upload() method.Now I'm stuck again >_<Here's the code I currently have, stripped down to bare-bones:When I drag-drop image files onto my app, here is the trace log that gets returned to me:
I am using a flash website template (basically stripped of 95% of the code they provided, and just using their graphics) from [URL] I needed to add streaming video, and I elected to use PHP streaming found on www.flashcomguru.com; as modified by lance of courierwebcasts [URL].
The problem I have is that when I use the scrubber.swf to play a video, updating variables and addresses as appropriate, it works fine. However when I take it and recreate every element of the player in a movie on the timeline of my template site, everything but the time counter works fine. It plays fine, it scrubs fine, etc.; it just always displays 00:00/00:00. I am guessing it has to do with variable definition or somethingbut it is beyond me... any help?
Here is just the bit that I am pretty sure is the issue;
Flash Player 10.2.153.1and Flash Player 10.2.159.1 are crashing my standalone application. Later with version 10.1 the application run ok, never crashes but was taking more than 90% CPU. The new Flash Player solve the problem of resources, and drop down CPU to 30%, but the application crashes always after a while, unespectly, or if I open the window of other application.
In the other hand when I disable the harware acceleration at the swf settings, the application goes crazy and start to make rapid flashes, and frame rate goes down to 8. [URL]. Right click on the Flash logo, Settings,then UNcheck the hardware acceleration in Display Settings.)
I'm on a Mac Mini Core 2 Duo with Mac OS X 10.6.7 (the last Snow Leopard these days). The graphical card is Nvidia GeForce 9400M.
I did test the application at a Mac Book Pro core i5, Mac OS X 10.6.7, graphica card Nvidia GeForce GT 330M and the application is more stable but finally crashes too.
Finally if I export my application with GPU Hardware acceleration at Publish Settings, my application crashes almost inmediatly after I open it in each of the computers.
My guess is that the new Flash Version is using my graphical proccesor in a corrupted way.
Just wondering if anyone knows about the project I am trying to start, uploading images from flash using php is fine but wondering if anyone knows how to create dynamic xml from php and it takes all the image names from the same folder where those images have been uploaded. So we can load all the images in image gallery through xml into flash.
As far as I know, what I ask here isn't possible, but I thought I'd ask anyway in case I'm missing something.
Suppose you want to let users upload JPG images, and these images are scaled into smaller icons and the original images are always discarded and never required again. Is there any way that would commonly work in most modern browsers that would let the user select a single image on their hard drive, have that LOCALLY turned into a thumbnail and upload the created thumbnail to a server?
In a case where the server just needs a small image, it would be wasteful both in user time and server resources to proceed uploading the whole image, only to immediately discard it. It would be much better to just scale it on the client.
I can imagine three options. Just plain HTML/Javascript, using Flash or using Java. If this were possible with Flash, that would seem like the best option. But reading flash.net.FileReference documentation, it seems that you can upload a file from the HD yes, but you cannot look inside the file you are uploading. On the other hand, if you enable "can access local files" in Flash publishing options, it seems that you can then no longer access the net, so that doesn't work.
With HTML/Javascript, it is possible to load images and display them on a <canvas>, but if you try to access the pixels of these images, you get security violations, so that doesn't seem to work.
Java I hesitate to use, because only 96.52% of my users have it installed, and the file upload dialogs I have seen implemented in Java (at Facebook for example) have not worked well (unresponsive interface). I wonder though if Java is the only thing allowing resizing images from local HD?
I'm using Agile Uploader in my project to resize image before upload on client side.And it works fine except one thing: if image name contains cyrillic letters it fails with server error 500.
How to avoid this or if needed how to rename file with english letters "on fly" (possibly with javascript).
My name is Daniel, and im using flash 8. Im building a flash site and wanted to include my audio on a page. I wanted to use a flash player such as [URL] or [URL] to upload my audio then embed it. Do you know how to adapt the player or any other way I could Embed it into my flash site? ps I tried a dynamic text box and inseting the HTML code but that didnt seem to work.
I have a file upload script to upload pictures to a server. It has been working fine in all browsers but when I upgraded the flash player to 10.1 in firefox 3.6.6 yesterday it stop working.I retested with another computer and as soon as i installed the flash player 10.1 it stopped working.I did some debbuging and noticed that the error return from the FileReference listener is I/O error.It doesnt make sense because the file is in the server and it works fine in all other browsers.I changed allowScriptAccess from "samedoamin" to "always" without luck. it works perfect in other flash player versions.the HTML that embeds the movie:
I'm looking to create a music player where one can upload songs from any computer on the web and play them back... is this possible and if so how would I go about creating it?
I'm at that awkward point in Flash authoring where I know the basics, have tackled only a few of the intermediate issues, and have been assigned a task that seems a bit daunting. I did my fair share of googlin, and searching on these forums and haven't found what I'm looking for.I've created a simple drawing program in flash before, but what I need to add is the functionality to upload a user image and crop/resize it. Does anyone here have a link to an article that will explain a bit about flash's jpg manipulation abilities?
Is there a way to upload an image using flex inbuild .browse() and classic asp? So in flex the user picks the image they want to upload, press a button to start sending it. A asp handler then gets the file, uploads it to a folder and then writes the filename in a database. Writing of the filename in the database is no problem.
Any best way to upload the image file by using Flex 4 and PHP. I have searched online but most of them are using Flex 2 or older version. I am just curious if there are any new ways to do it. I just found a good one here... [URL]
