ActionScript 3.0 :: Call Uploaded File Into Empty Movieclip?
Dec 31, 2009
I am in the middle of trying to create an swf that allows the user to upload an image into the flash file and manipulate it in several ways using actionscript 3 and flash cs4. (ideally if possible keeping the flash player needed at 9 or lower).I have solved most of the photo editing side, but am having trouble uploading any photo into the flash file. I have looked into the 'getfile reference' class and also the 'oncompletedata' but havent got it working. Can anyone help? I need the user to click on the upload button on frame one which will upload the file to the server and display it on frame 2 in the empty_mc (instance of myObject) Currently i have a random jpeg image in its place.
Originally i intended to use an html form and php upload script to do all the uploading then send the url link into flash but again cannot come up with a way for this.This successfully uploads my image onto the server in the 'images' folder but how do i get this into my swf?

Based on the Kirupa Flash XML Gallery, I tried to expand it as far as I could. Right now, it loads the images, generates buttons dynamically according to how many images are in the XML que, and each image is hyperlinked. I want to load in a swf file dynamically via XML into an another empty movieclip everytime I go to a new image. In another words if I have 9 images in my gallery, each image is assigned a swf file to load into another empty movieclip.

I have a flash template that I bought and customized with dreamweaver, flash and Coda html editor, the website test PERFECTLY when I test the index.html file, all of the buttons work fine, I have a total of 12 .flv videos and they ALL play back fine, when I play the index.html file, the problem occurs when I upload the files to my godaddy server, 11 of the videos play fine, the whole site is fine, it is one particular .flv file that will not play once it is uploaded to the server. I have changed the orders the video play, renamed the file and changed the html flv path to reflect the name change, I have deleted all the files off my server, refreshed the server logged out and re logged on and uploaded everything again, I have re-encoded the original .mov file to a .flv file again using Adobe media encoder, still nothing, I am wondering why would the index.html play this particular .flv file fine, but once uploaded to the server it will not play, the path is correct I have checked it, if the path were the problem the index.html for that particular file would not play when I test the index.html file before I upload it, but it plays fine until it is uploaded, I am uploading the whole folder on the root, and this particular video file is in a folder with all the rest of the .flv files, I even tried changing the path and putting this particular .flv file in a seperate folder and change the path still nothing.

I am currently building a website and what i need to do is to call external swfs in an empty MC on the index page regarding which buttons of the nav you clicked on.It works, very nicely. But then i need to be able to preload another swf on the index when i click on a thumbnail.
e.g: index load the "who.swf" first. On the who.swf there are 2 thumbnail and when click it must replace the "who.swf" with contact.swf. It works but the only problem is that i cant make the preloader of the index to preload the empty MC which load all the external swf.
Is it because i am using loadMovie and not loadCLip.

I am trying to build an uploader that will take data collected earlier in the form before the upload occurs and then rename the uploaded file with it. I've gotten the upload itself to work, but thus far I have no luck getting any sort of renaming to work, not even by PHP.I tried Loadvars to transfer the variables over and rename it during upload, yet it says "NO" and rejects the post variables when the upload occurs. I even tried loading the variables into an external file and transfering them back to the uploader via cookie, all at the same time. Again it says "NO!", and the file is uploaded as __"filename".jpg. This is my code thus far:
Code:
stop();
////// Other Variables ///////////

I am working on an AS3 file for one of my webpages, in Flash it is 660 x 2800 pixels in size, which is relatively large, and to view the entire file contents i need to have a zoom level of 40%! Once publish as an SWF file and uploaded to my webpage, the file appears very small!! I expand the file to as large as possible on the webpage and the file still appears undersized. Obviously I wish it to fill the whole content area.

I'm building a cms and I want users to be able to upload videos but I'm not familiar with video upload & conversion. Is there an example or has anybody coded a solution like this?
I heard about ffmpeg but I don't know how to integrate it with asp.net.As simple solution I can make my clients upload flv files but then I would still need to get a screenshot from that fvl.

So, I have a working upload that has the file in php and it send it via email. The relevant part dealing with the file is below
$tmp_name = $_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'];
$name = $_FILES['Filedata']['name'];
$file = fopen($tmp_name,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($tmp_name));
fclose($file);
I then want to load the entire file back into flash as I have some code the analyses it. I have tried
echo $data;
This send what seems to be the first section of the file but as the file can sometimes be 50Mb+, I need all of it. how to get the whole file into Flash?

I am currently trying to create an application that allows a user to upload a photo into flash and then manipulate it. I am building it with AS3 and really cannot have the flash player any higher than 9 if possible.So far i have my upload script working using php from a basic html form. This uploads a jpeg to the 'images' folder on the server giving it a unique filename.Once the upload is successful the user is taken to '../upload.php' with the Flash swf on and tells them it has been successful and 'echo's' back "$newname" (variable for the new file name)How can i get this uploaded image on the server into my swf to display in an emptymovieclip with an instance of 'myObject' (currently a picture of a cat). What is the actionscript needed to call the file into my movie?Have come to a complete standstill on i have attached the fla file and also the upload.php file. The code on upload.php is also posted below
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

iv been having this problem with swf file iv created, it consist of images somewhat like a gallery. when played offline it works smoothly, navigating frame to frame / image by image. iv used AS3 to compose the animations in my flash file. now my problem is when its uploaded online, the swf is shown but once iv clicked on a link to proceed on showing the gallery it lags and continously loop when it should actualy stop on a frame and wait till the next button is clicked to procced to the next image. plus the animation iv added in doesn't seem to working at all.

I have just uploaded my site for a recent project submission and coded my own preloader for it.The problem is that when I play the file (swf) locally it works correctly but when uploaded onto the internet the variable % is not loaded so says: loading... NaN%. The thing is that it works correctly other then that,when it is fully loaded the text and the preloader disappears as instructed. It just doesn't put a % into the percentage dynamic text box (which has instance name percentage and variable namepercentage).That is the site and this is the code for the preloader:
ActionScript Code:
percent._visible = false;
rotatemetom._visible = false;[code].....

I have a project that will have a video upload capability. The thing with this is when the user uploads it has to of course play in the custom Flash player - the only way for that to happen, to my knowledge, is if that video is in FLV format. how to convert the uploaded video file to FLV (serverside not client).

I am loading an external swf into an empty movie clip by use of a button.The movieclip is a sort of menu that begins with an animation of the menu opening, there are multiple different movieclips I am using with this format.What I am trying to accomplish is this.When another button is pressed, I want the movieclip (regardless of which one is loaded) to either:Go to a specific frame and play a closing animation within the movieclip, BEFORE a new movieclip is loaded. OR reverse the animation BEFORE loading new movieclip.Since there are 4 or 5 buttons all loading different clips, I need all the buttons to work this way regardless of which movieclip is loaded.

I've got the following file reference listener on a file to upload art for display on a flash movie. However, I want this to display only at a certain size. I tried the "easy way", but this ends up sizing down my whole movie. Where should I insert the code to get the uploaded file to show on my flash movie only to a certain height and width? "chip_clip" is the empty movie clip this is being uploaded to:
var file:FileReference = new FileReference();
file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, fileSelect);
file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fileComplete);

I'm using SWFUpload to upload images without reloading the page (with a fancy progressbar too), this works fine when I'm on localhost (Wamp server), but it goes nuts when I try to do so on my real linux server (which is the only possible flag as far as I could see), it's running Apache2 and PHP5. As I said the front-end is fine (apart maybe from the fact it's flash).The back-end code is as follows:
SWFUpload_settings.js
var swfu_settings ={upload_url : "upload.php",
flash_url : "flash/swfupload.swf",
button_placeholder_id : "upload_flash",
[code]...
The only error that I get is from $_FILES['Filedata']['error'] = 3, 'Only part of the file was uploaded'. The destination directory does have 777 permission and you can see I made the required checks. It simply will not work, I have no idea why. Also, the files I tried uploading had no spaces in the filename, so that shouldn't fit under the issue 206 with SWFUpload.As far as I can tell it can be either due to the front-end SWFUpload or back-end server configuration.
P.S. no need to mention security, this is only allowed to be used by the server admin with external access anyhow, plus there's the front-end limitation on the files he can select (images). There was no point securing it further.

i've created two textarea fields that pull data from a textfile in the same directory and formats it with CSS. it tests fine on my computer, but when i upload it, it doesn't show the txt file contents. It's just blank. I've been looking around everywhere to try and find a solution, but i can't seem to find anything. Also, the scrollbar on the side of the textarea doesn't load in IE but loads in firefox.
