Yes, 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.
View 0 RepliesI'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 0 RepliesI'm developing an application for the Blackberry Playbook using Flash Burrito 4.5 and Flex. I'd like to create a file browser to allow users to load images from the local system into the application. I followed this example [URL] When I click on the Load Image button in the simulator however, the file browser pops up but tells me that "no file was found with the specified filter", even though I don't specify any filter or even if I specify a . filter.
View 2 RepliesI've found several examples and documentation that show how to read and write files on the system, but all show user intervention or reading/writing files in user profile directories. There are a few things I want to do:
Monitor system and other application log files for changes, then automatically load those files when changes occur Reload a previously open file when the application launches Write files into a log directory, which probably will not exist in the same path as the application.
In my very quick search, it seems that there may be a security model that constrains an AIR application's access to the file system, so that files can only be read or written to directories selected by the user with the file system dialog OR files can be written within the user profile or air application directory.
Does an Adobe Air application have unconstrained access to the file system?
I am using FDT for Flex development and when I compile, and it tries to access a flv file, I get the error "cannot access local file". This is obviously a security sandbox thing.Now I tried adding crossdomain.xml to the root and it still makes the same error. I know somehow I need to add to my project use-network=false, but i cant for the life of me work out where the flex compiler additional arguments area is. I know in eclipse how to do it, but with the slightly modified FDT, i havent got a clue

I have a HTML box and load a local html file from the project. In this HTML file I use jquery and I want to load an image from my user directory. I see the image from my user directory but jquery doesn't works. I get this error:

But if I load an image from the app workspace, everything works fine (I see the image and Jquery works). Is this a policy problem? The error says that is a "null object reference" problem, but this can't be true...
I'm trying to load a local xml file:
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("../xml/xmlData.xml"));
But I'm getting this security sandbox violation:

I don't get this error when I embed the XML file directly with the EMBED metadata tag.

I have been to the "Global Security Settings panel" but dont really understand.
In a plugin context (a swf loaded by an another swf), is there any way to restrict access to file system and network in the same time to the loaded swf?Compiler option "-use-network=true|false" does not fit because you cannot restrict both file/network.[code]The loaded swf is in user's document folder, outside Air app folder. Currently, the loaded swf is abble to load "c:/Windows/regedit.exe" and I don't want it (neither sending informations on the network).
View 2 RepliesI got a textfile who i am reading on a serverside script and passing it as a script to my client side as3 code. The problem is that i am using characters like ä,ö,ü,ß and this isn't well displayed. I tried System.useCodePage but the compiler complains about : 1120: Access of undefined property 'System'. It doesnt matter if I tried this on the first line of the 'Action' in the first scene or in the first line of the first .as file i am loading. (btw i am only working with .as file and not in the timeline). When i am importing flash.System.* the compiler complains he dont know useCodePage.
View 3 RepliesI've written a SWF in FlashDevelop (using the open Flex stuff) and use it to load up a bunch of image files.
[Code]...
Now, this works fine in the debugger environment with, say, funcA("test1.jpg"), but when I try and copy the files into another directory, I get security errors, something about it not being 'Local with trusted' or some such. I assume local file access is possible via Flash if the SWF is on the harddrive too, right? I did try adding a Security.allowDomain("*"); to see if that made a difference, but seems not. If local file access isn't possible, do I have to find a server to copy everything onto even for just testing stuff?
I have a Flash project that plays FLVs from (http://) sources and it works fine when I publish it as AIR 2. I want to save and access my FLVs locally, but I can't seem to get it to work. I don't know if it is a matter of the correct path syntax, I'm also not sure what an Air app sees as a relative path. This is what it looks like for http:
stream.play("[URL]")
How do I make this local?
For me FLASH is such a pain with security and javascripting...but, I am trying to upload a basic flash video and I keep getting this security warning and the video will not play.
SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file XXXXXXXXXXXXX.swf cannot access local resource xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.flv. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.
I have not done anything different. It previews fine in Flash and Dreamweaver but not on the server.
