However that content is being served without extension,- "myMovieClip", "myPicture".
So I need to find a way for checking extension or file type of my loading content - *.swf, *.png, *.jpg ?[code]...
For example I've got string /wiki/File:test.JPG I should check if it has one of extention "jpeg","jpg","png","gif"
Currently I've written that link.search(/.[j,p,g][p,i,n][e,g,f][g]?/gi) and it is works, but I'd like better regular expression.
does anybody have a good explanation of the as operator? On one hand it seems to me, that it is often better to use as instead of instantiating a new object.But then there are situations, when this operator let's me down. For example when loading a text file in XML format through an URLLoader:
private function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
trace("completeHandler: " + loader.data);[code]...
Why do I have to use a constructor here? Why can't I say var x:XML = loader.data as XML; and save some memory?
I'm going to create a iOS app in flash and convert. I'm thinking I may want to load graphic assets at runtime. I'd like these assets to be vector graphics so they can be resized easily with no quality degradation. I usually use SWF files ofr this purpose. Unless I'm wrong, a converted iOS app probably does not load SWF files. So I'm wondering what kind of vector graphics file format can iOS load at runtime?
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to check file name case when loading a file? For example:
My URLRequest has this: "filename1.swf", but the actual file on the server is this FILENAME1.swf. Since the file names do not match case, is there a way i can have flash and AS3 catch this?
Is there a way to Check if the xml file that your loading in has changed since you loaded it in last? I want to check to see if it has changed before i reload it into flash.

I'm loading content through an XML file. Most of the content is working correctly. Flash is creating buttons based on some of the content in the XML file, the rest of the content in the XML file is static text and images.
Everything at first loads fine, the buttons all work, they change the text values but for the life of me I can't figure out why its not changing the image. I tried to create a function to remove the first image then load the new one but that didn't work.
Code:
function DisplayInfo() {
clientwork.txtclient.text = this.client_text;
clientwork.txtlink.htmlText = this.link_text;
clientwork.txtdesc.htmlText = this.desc_text;

I am working with breeze server (Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro) and when I upload an .flv or .swf it creates a URL to the files location where there is no file extension.ow I got an fla file where I got a movieclip and buttons. Each time a user presses a button it should play the file linked to that button in the movieclip.I managed to get this working using the following:
Code:
function videoTwo(even:MouseEvent): void

Does anyone know if there is a way to load content from a .txt file to flash (NOT VARIABLES BUT THE WHOLE CONTENT AS TEXT).
View 3 RepliesIs there any way to determine a file type from a url when the file extension is not a reliable indicator? Since there are different APIs for playing video, audio, or displaying images, you need to know the filetype beforehand.

Problem:When saving the file, the "Save As Filetype" drop down is empty and end users can accidentally delete the swf file extension in the filename.How can we lock down the extension so it will always have SWF in the extension?
Technique 1? Set "Save As Filetype" to SWF by default.
Technique 2? Click "Publish as Flash". User specifies the filename. File is saved on the server. User presented with prompt to download file. File is downloaded from the server using the traditional browser windows explorer dialog box (the same dialog box if I downloaded a program from cnet's downloads.com)

View 3 RepliesI'm having a "problem" with loading an external .swf in my main flash swf movie (which is a website). When the external .swf loads and displays itself on the main swf (website), the complete external swf file is viewable. To clarify: this external .swf has a world map that moves with a tween. If the animation is played within the main swf, I can see the whole world map and not just only that specific part of the world map that is visible on the "original" .swf
Make a mask over the complete external.swf? Where should i make the mask in the external .swf itself or on the movieclip in my main swf (website)?
Ive been looking into whether or not, it is possible to load the entirety of site content dynamically from a text file.

View 6 RepliesIs there way to set the extension of a file using Adobe Air's flash.filesystem? Using the browseForOpen function you can set the FileFilter, limiting the files types available. However when using browseForSave you can not set a fileFilter or fileExtension. The file extension has to be entered manually in the SaveFileDialog. The File.extension property associated with the selected file is read-only. Does anyone know of a work around or anything that I could do to not enter the file Extension manually.

In flex when I allow user to download a file using :
dwFile = new FileReference();
dwFile.download(downloadURL, dwFileName);
Is there a way to ensure that the downloaded file always ends up with the extension .tar or any other extension for that matter? By default I give it a name like xyz.tar, but as of now the user can tamper with filename, including its extension. Can I prevent him from doing so?

I need to lock off access to any .fla files that might come up on a virtual host. We keep them next to the few .swf we use on some of our sites, I just want to be sure they are not being downloaded by people or spiders that may scrape the site.
There isn't really anything sensitive in the fla's but I'd rather keep them in the same folder and have them forbidden to downloaders.
I've tried the MIME type route (check if MIME type is defined under HTTP Headers > MIME Types, remove if it was, etc;), but there is no FLA defined, but I can still download the file by default. I recall this was the opposite if you WANTED to serve .flv files, but not .fla's[code]...
if I set up the facility for people to embed video content on their site via their CMS (using TinyMCE editor), is there any reliable cross platform video format that should be used? From what I can find online, the only reliable way to embed and stream video is using FLV. Other formats seem to have caveats, e.g codecs required or quicktime updates required. Ideally I'd like to avoid this type of situation. If it is the case that FLV is the preferred option, then that involves asking people to encode their video content to FLV before uploading, so there is an extra step required here (unless I can set up the encoding in the back end, but this might take a while to process depending on the size of the video).
View 2 RepliesI am uploading videos to my new site (aspirin creative) and the player will not recognize any .f4v videos. I changed the extension on one to .flv and it now appears to recognize and play the video. Also, I didnt build the site myself and the developer not Define terms of video playback (which has been less than great so far) the player seems to be a rather strange resolution (600x340) which is not native 16:9 and wont recognize 4:3 encodes without stretching and warping. I have tried to encode close to this in media encoder but as soon as I select .flv over .f4v in the options my ratios seem to go mad, not keeping the preset and not letting me set to anything that is actually 16:9?!

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get my flash movie to allow the user to download a file of a specific extension, at the moment i use:
[Code]....
Two problems:
a) If the user changes the file name in the browser before clicking save (and doesn't re-add the .xml extension) then the file is saved without an extension
b) Randomly, tested on two windows xp systems both in IE one included the extension in the filename on the browser download window and one didn't (which doesn't make it clear to the user they have to include the extension as part of the name) but both saved to the correct xml extension file
a) If there is a work around so I can specify the exact file type, in the adobe reference manual it states you can parse in extra parameters to server with the file location to download. How would i do this?
b) If can't do a, how can I get it to always display the extension in the browser download window (unlike in problem b )
Just as title says is there a way to automaticly add extension to file name. when i create a new XML via flash it works but i have to type in the text field name of the file and extension i.e: full.xml, to save the file as xml, and i want to write just the filename and extension is added automatically
