ActionScript 3.0 :: Creating A Download Link (without Using Class Files)
Sep 3, 2009
I have a movie that is going to be playing in our onLine Learning Site. I want to include a link to download a few documents, and I just don't know how to do that.I do Not KNOW what the complete HTTP url will be, just the directory path by that I mean, I know the files will be in "VideoFilesHighRes1.MOV" but I don't have access to the complete URL. This isnt a problem when it comes to loading other Flash objects (IE sounds, different clips etc) For some reason I didn't think the "getURL" request was valid in AS 3.0.....
i have a created full flash site and i m ready to upload it on a my server But i want to add a download link to a pdf file in my Site can i just do it by simply adding the following A.S. to the button
Why creating a text link to a .as hosted on my site creates a 404 error? If I change it to .txt it works fine but I'd really like the user to be able to open the file directly into Flash.
a code for creating a simple link between files on my computer using flash cs4? Im trying to link sperate swf files within the folder. Im trying to make a cd and i have 5 sperate swf files that need to link to each other and back to the home page which is also a seperate swf file.
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.
I can't find a way to make a downloadlink in flash.You know "click a button" and then have the windows file download message "OPEN-SAVE-CANCEL-MOREINFO" appearing.
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.
editCode sample taken from other post. Warning: it's a huuuge chunk o'code.
I am trying to setup a link for users to download a PDF from my site. Does anyone know if there is a way to force a download dialogue box, instead of having the PDF open in a new window. I've been using the GetURL to do this. I have looked everywhere, and only found this: [URL] But when I try to do it, there are errors, and its way above me to fix. I'm trying to do this because for some very weird reason, when it opens now in the new window, Acrobat just crashes (no clue why, but it does on all computers -- I've tested on 5).
I have a .wmv (or .avi, .mp4... ect... ) file that I want someone to be able to download to their computer by clicking a button. NOT open the file in a new window or tab... but actaully bring up a "save or open" window.
I'm making a Flash website using Actionscript 3.0 and I'd like to feature a file for download, however the user will have to pay for said download. Ideally, I'd like just a "Download Now!" button on a certain page, then the user would be sent to PayPal and the downloading would commence.How do I set that, or something similar, up?
The http:[url].... has an incredibly slow search functionality. I use a greasemonkey search plugin that is much much faster and works with the standard style javadocs. Anyone have a link to the old version of the AS3 API docs that were of the standard style?
I have an standalone flash projector file, running from a CD-rom. on the CD-rom I also have a .pdf file. I want to create a link where the user can download this file to the desktop. surely there's a better way of accessing the file rather than using getURL? hopefully because getURL is causing sporadic crashing of my movie! dar
I have a .txt file with html code inside of it that loads into my swf. i've managed to create a link (ain't i the genius) but the problem is that if the link ponits to another website e.g
a href="http://www.something.com/file.mp3" it just opens the file in the browser.
is it possible to get it to download the file instead?
We've all been to driver download pages where you select your model from one combobox list and then that choice populates the next combobox of choices and then that combobox choice spawns a link to the driver.Combobox 1 will display a list of 14 items. Each item in that list has a subset of 3-4 items that will appear in combobox 2 once a selection is made. Then when a selection is made in combobox 2 a link will appear for a download
I am making a site for a client. They want to be able to upload videos and also have the viewer be able to download the video. But...they want to be able to add the videos / files to download themselves. I was going to use an xml video player component, so I figure it will be fairly easy for the client to add or take away videos. But I'm not sure how to set it up so that the client can add a link that will automatically download a file?
I have a movie I want to make available for download, but when i use getURL, it open the movie, I want it to download directly to people's desktop so they can keep the movie.
I understand that PlUpload supports several runtimes (html5, html4, gears, flash, etc). But most browsers now a days support flash. And most other file uploaders (namely: uploadify, fancy upload, to name afew) would function via a combination of javascript and flash. And the same file uploaders only support ONE runtime, which is flash. Even if the flash player plugin is not installed. A developer can easily integrate flash detection tools and redirect users to a download link. Which is most common for several sites.
i am trying to make a button that when clicked will prompt the user to downalod a file to a target directory of the users choice. I have tried using URLRequest but it just opens the mp3 on another window with qiucktime which, i suspect, will happen with most users. is there a simple way to do this? i have no problem creating the button its just the function code for the button im lost on.url...
Right now, if someone types in a popup window comes up asking if they want to download the file.I want my swf files (I'm building a site on the Gaia flash framework) to have access to all of my flv's/videos, but I don't want people to be able to download them.e Flash IDE to 'protect' your swfs (though I know there are ways around that) - but for flv's do those have to go in some type of special folder with a .htaccess file to protect them - and if so, how do I let my swf's communicate with the flv's and load them when necessary.
I'm not so good a AS3 and i think i've made a mess of things. I am trying to write script to download from a server on a website and have been getting nowhere. [code]...
is there any way to rename a download file/link to our custom name. For example: I use URLLoader to call a download link: http:[url].... then a download popup shows a save as dialog with the name my_file.mp3. Now I want the dialog to show another name that I define like my_song.mp3
I am working on a web app and need help to be pointed in the right direction: I want to download a file (they are mp3s). choose directory to save as I want flash to meter the download, showing the progress. When the file is downloaded, it is deleted off of the server (using php, i know how to do this, but how can i tell from flash when the file is downloaded?)
I am creating a website to allow users to download a selection of soundfiles. What I'm wondering is how I can create a link in ActionScript 3 which downloads a specified file to the users machine - giving them control over the download location along the way.
