I'm making a flash portfolio site and learning as I go but have come across a bit of a road block.
I'm trying to allow people to click a button on my site and download my pdf resume. I've gotten it to open in a separate tab using "navigatetourl", but I'd like to also have a button which forces the download location prompt to appear.
I am looking for a base to work on a presentation. I am using flash cs4. I know little of actionscript only so i just wondered if there are any template where i can just manage my content to make the presentation instead of coding from scratch. Is there any good site for downloading free flash presentation template?
View 1 Replieshere is what i am trying to do. i would like to post action script files onto my server space for people to download, which i can do. Question is, is it like a print command for them to download the files to there computer for use? or what is the best way to go about this? The files are inside a folder called action script and then the sub folders depending on the file you are looking for.

I have a flash app that needs to download a file, whose name contains UTF-8 characters.
Internally, the filename is read from a UTF-8 XML file, e.g. "my filé.pdf". The code goes something like this:
url = get_filename_from_XML();
req = new URLRequest( url );
ref = new FileReference();
ref.download( req );
The problem is that the URL is encoded in Latin1, i.e. the é is encoded as %E9 instead of %C3%A9 (according to FireBug). How can I get Flash to encode the URL correctly?
I created a website with Flash Professional CS5, ActionScript 3.0, I would like to add the functionality to a button so that it downloads a .pdf file into the user computer, so he can print it. What code should I give the button? and where and how should I place the .pdf file.
View 2 RepliesCode:
on (release) {
getURL("http://www.nlqc.com/download/Hymne_NikeLaos.mp3", "_blank");
}
I use this code to make an mp3 available on my site, I was wondering if there is any other way to do it? I'd like to avoid the "_blank" page opening.
So to get around Flash security issues, I have a script to upload files to S3 by sending it to a PHP script on my server which then uploads it to S3 with server-side PHP libraries.
Now, I'm looking for a solution to downloading a file from S3 in the same way. I suppose the best way to do it is to somehow make a PHP script that downloads the file from S3, then sends it back to the Flash client?
But the one thing is, I don't want the file to hang around--I'd like to delete it when the process is done. I suppose I can just have the Flash client call another PHP script on the server that deletes the file after the load is finished.

If not, can I atleast prevent them from connecting to my php files?
My insuffiecient knowledge about AS2 craves some teaching: I want to know how to add an action to a button within my scene to make it download a file, which is located in the same folder as the .fla and exported .swf. In this case its going to be a .pdf, but I guess my main point is that I just want it to download the file. It should work in both Firefox and Internet Explorer (I don't know if the script has to be different or not?).

Is there anyway I can run an install file from a flash site. I don't want it to be downloaded first. And if not how do I get the file to be downloaded. Something like the PC format Cd's have, where the programs install directly from the CD.
View 1 RepliesWe recently decided to add a flash banner to our site which calls an xml file which loads the price and name for 5 separate products and keeps looping through until a user clicks a product. Unfortunately, it appears each time the file loops it calls another iteration of the xml file -- so if a user opens our homepage and walks away the xml file could be called 100s of times. My question is, can we set up the actionscript so the xml file is called just once?

View 3 RepliesI'm using the Flash CS4 IDE, and the first page of my site takes a lot longer to load than I want it to. So I wanted to go through the varied images / symbols / movie clips / sounds and so on to see where all the memory is being chewed up. When I go into my library, however, I can see the Name, LInkage, usecound and Type of my elements, but no mention of file size and I can't seem to find any right click menu that lets me add file size to the list of details being displayed. Is there a way to make it show file size? Or some workaround? And are there any best practices to reduce file size aside from using symbols for anything that's used more than once and reducing image and sound quality?
