ActionScript 2.0 :: How To Upload/Download Controls
Aug 5, 2008
I have been using this script for awhile now, and wanted to expand on it some.I understand most of what is going on here, but-where it sets font size and color for the controls? I need to make the Font size bigger in the boxes etc...[URL]
i seem to have a time delay problem that is stopping my flash site work properly through php with a mysql database.
here is basically how the site works so far. after entering some stuff in input text fields, clicking on "uploadNewData_mc" sends the new data to the database. this works ok and the database is immediately updated.
clicking on refresh_mc runs a function fillFields() which loads all the db information into my flash file. again, all the as3 and php is working perfectly here.
where i am having a problem is when i try to have one button that uploads all new data to the database and then runs the fillFields function and refreshes the flash file.
this seems easy enough but i am assuming that fillFields is being run before the new data has got to the db, as nothing of the new data is being sent back. here below is the as3 that i am using to upload.
summary: uploading to db works. downloading from the db works. uploading new data then downloading everything from the click of one button is not working.
ActionScript Code: var djToData:URLRequest = new URLRequest("php/update_djTo.php"); djToData.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;3
Since Flash 8 FileReference API was introduced, and file upload/download through Flash finally became possible. The API has one troubling limitation though, which is the 100mb limit for file transfer.
I'm developing a browser based file transfer utility, and I would have wanted to implement it with solely Flash. It has to have the ability to manage far larger files than 100mb. Does anyone know a way to overcome this limitation, or have another solution for file upload/download through Flash 8?
I am writing a script to upload and download images. I have a cancel btn that is giving me an error, undefined method. ActionScript Code: // First thing is to set the flashing upload message clip to invisible uploadMsg.visible = false; // Set the URL for the PHP uploader script var URLrequestUp:URLRequest = new URLRequest; var URLrequestdown:URLRequest = new URLRequest; // Assign the image types Filter [Code] .....
Some friends asked me to build them a site so their clients could use a private part of the site to upload and download files like in a FTP program (with user/password). I've searched the web, but only found a few uploaders that don't allow to also download and manage the files uploaded. I've noticed on my searches an extension called "yamzbrowser", but it is an old piece of software, and in a quick test I've found that it is not all browser compatible. In fact, I was not able to upload a simple file using the popular IE 7...
Is there any script, extension or toll that allow multiple users to upload / download, and manage (see, delete, rename) files inside a Flash page? Maybe a HTML solution that could be loaded inside a Flash page...
I've got a situation that involves error #2174. Flash 10 apparently doesn't allow more than one upload/download/load/save at a time, but my code doesn't actually do that. A skeleton:
ActionScript Code: private function uploadFile(endpoint:String):void {
i have the controls for car number 1 that would be the arrow keys if [code]but how can i make controls for car 2.i wann use wasd but i cant figure out how the key.a doesnt work.
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'm working at a company which has high security environment.Akamai Download Manager starts to download a trial Flash CS5. However, it stops quickly and downloads nothing (zero byte).I want to download a trial Flash CS5 without Akamai Download Manager!
I generate a HTML page with VB.Net which stores several pinks to files. These links are formatted with JavaScript looking like the Windows-Explorer with folders and files. The problem: There are only download links for the files, not for Folders. A folder can contain Subfolders ,a List of Files or a combination of both. So if I want to download a folder, I have to click manually on every file-link. I have not the possibility to insert PHP or another Server-side language. my question now is: Is there a client side way to Download them by click on a Folder? I prefer Javascript but If it isn't possible Flash will be ok also.
Can you use the FileReference.upload() function to upload files to Sharepoint or do I have to use the SP web services? This is without adding your own ASP.NET Web Services, just using the built in SP Web Services.
I am creating flash uploader and want to start 10 uploadings at time.But flash upload only 2 files on domain at time, other references wait for something.In IE with ActiveX Player limitation is about 6 files at time.Is there any ideas how to change this limitation? For uploading I need to use FileReference.upload without creating URLRequest object from file data.
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:
Okay, so I am calling my scripts from the folder "php/" Thus, my FileReference calls "php/upload.php" to upload. However, my uploads are in "uploads/" and not in "php/uploads". When the PHP script is called, it apparently ignores the caller (the SWF file) and looks for uploads in its own directory (the "php/" folder). It may be a PHP question, but how do I reference the uploads folder as being in the parent directory of the php files in my PHP script?
I've been trying to configure uploading and I've been getting an error 500.I'm running a server on Apache2 with php5+ installed. I'm curious to why i keep getting an error.[code]I added those to my .htaccess file
I am using a PHP upload to upload files to server. I have a loop for the 5 files to upload....
ActionScript Code: if (PDFFiles[i] != false){ PDFFiles[i].upload(uploadPHP); }
As the loop runs quicker than PHP can upload, the success of....
ActionScript Code: function fileUploaded(e:DataEvent):void { trace "Success"}
....can get out of synch. It doesn't cause me any real problems but is this bad form? Or am I better to upload one file the wait for the PHP to return success before uploading the next one?
my listener.onComplete = function(selectedFile:FileReference) is fired without any file in the upload dir. if the file is small and I wait a bit I can see the file (through FTP) coming up on the server, but most of the times the "onComplete" if fired without any file being saved.
can I add something to this php code to make sure the file is uploaded?
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.

I have lots of .swf video files from the past years, and recently have been using the flash video encoder in cs3 to create .flv that adds video controls. I was wondering if there was a way to add video controls like slider, stop, pause, volume, etc.. to .swf video files. I have searched for a .swf converter to .flv format but even though all the marketing says it can do it, none of the ones I have tried can do it.
Embedded a few FLV movies in my flash SWF and they appear ok and play back properly when I test the movie from within flash (CNTRL + ENTER) or just run the generated SWF file i can see the playback controls fine.
But when i put that flash movie into a HTML file and preview it, the playback controls are nowhere to be seen. I have a strong feeling it has something to do with the location of the playback skin in relation to the movie or html file (but i have copied the skins like 10 times and pasted them into every level of my website and I still cannot see the playback controls!
I've got a swf file that is supposed to play back a flv within a player. When I test it locally, it works fine, but when I upoaded all of the files (swf, flv, and SteelExternalPlaySeekMute) to the server, when I call the main swf on the page, it doesn't show the controls. If I just call up the swf in a new browser, though, it works fine.
I think the problem may lie in the fact that the html file that loads the swf is not in the same filepath in the server as the swf file. Could it be that the swf is looking for the controls swf in the html's directory, rather than the directory its in? (Though, that doesn't make sense, because it appears to load the flv without an issue, and they are in the same directory)
I have a couple of video clips loading to the stage via loadExternalMovieclip. The video clips were imported FLV's, given skin styles, and exported as SWF's. When I open the SWF's directly in FLash Player, all is well -- the controls appear and work fine. But when they are loaded into an empty, placeholder MovieClip, the skin does not appear![url]...
I have an swf with xml and external content for which I need play, stop and sound volume controls at least. The swf doesn't have them and it's action script 3 so I can't even get it opened in flash cs2.
Is it possible to create external controls or do I have to pay someone to create a new swf to go with the xml and css files?
can create a new fla/swf file that I could later edit for size, colors etc in the case where I need to create a new one. and how much... If not I may still need someone to create the controls for me and run me through the process of getting them to work with my current files.
