I want to upload a file from my flash app. So when a button is clicked, I want to pop up a file upload dialog box displaying files of the specified type. Is it possible to this in actionscript 3?
View 1 RepliesIs this possible through flash?
I have to create a flash uploader where you can define the maximum number of files that can be selected.
my listener.onComplete = function(selectedFile:FileReference) is fired without any file in the upload dir. if the file is small and I wait a bit I can see the file (through FTP) coming up on the server, but most of the times the "onComplete" if fired without any file being saved.
can I add something to this php code to make sure the file is uploaded?

If the computer has internet conexion, the app has to check when open if the data xml file has changed in a web server, if so, has to download the new data.xml file and substitute the old one.
Since it is posible that the app runs when the computer is turn on at a certain time and there may be nobody to use the dialog box.
I have Flash CS4 10.0.1.545 Mac with OS X 10.5.6: I have the standard Workspace and when I select Import to import an image, the open file dialog in OS X slides down from the top of the stage and the entire Flash window that is holding my timeline and stage moves down about 100 pixels. I then import, then I click the top of the window to move it back up and it snaps back instantly as soon as I click on it before I drag it up.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to programmatically close an open file dialog?
My current problem is this: I have a small file download program. When the user clicks a button, it will pop-up the Save As dialog. The problem is, if the user closes the Firefox window, the dialog stays open. And when the user wants to close that dialog, he or she can't anymore. It won't respond. The only way is to kill the plugin process (on Linux anyway).
So is there a way to monitor opened file dialogs?
I've tried to get the browser to notify the Flash app that it's closing, which works great. The problem is even if the app knows it should close the file dialog, it can't...I've tried setting the FileReference to null, using delete on it, calling the garbage collector, etc., nothing seems to have any control on that dialog.
I know that there is no implementation of File Save Dialog in JavaScript as of now, but it can be done with Flash. I am looking for a lib or source code in Flash that could do it for me so that I can call it via JavaScript. JavaScript knows the data and filename, I just want to open a file save dialog.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to integrate a JavaScript multiple file uploader into a website. I've worked with Uploadify before and wanted to go with that. The difference in this case was that I needed to allow a large number of files in the upload queue (up to 500).
Everything works fine in Firefox, IE6-9 and Safari. Except for Chrome, where when selecting more than 232 files at once (using the Flash file select dialog) it doesn't do anything (the file select event is not triggered for the JS script to capture).
At first I thought it was an Uploadify bug, and decided to try Plupload as an alternative. Problem is that I hit the same dead end with the Flash version of Plupload, it just won't do anything when selecting more than 232 files at once.
Is this a known Flash Player limitation/bug in Chrome?
i am wondering if there is a way with flash to call the open file dialog box so the user can browse his/her directories to select the file to load. also, if this is possible, is there a way to choose what type of files are allowed?

View 1 RepliesHow do I trigger a save dialog for a static file in Flash? The file in question can be local or remote, if that's easier. In this case the file is a static image.
how varied and convoluted the solutions are for a problem which initially seems very straightforward.
I've had success with JPEGEncoder (along with ByteArray, BitmapData etc.) but it's extremely slow and obviously not file type agnostic.
I'm using Flash Pro CS5 and not Flex or AIR.

View 2 RepliesHow can save data into a XML file without user prompt dialog in Action Script 3?
I'm writing an simple application (with adobe flash) that runs on client PC and save user state data in XML file in same directory of app. When i use FileReference it shows a user dialog for saving file. Is there any class to save just XML data directly into XML file?
I think writing just XML (text plane) data couldn't make any security problems?
We have noticed a possible bug in the Flash Player within Mac's latest OS version Snow Leopard.
When a Browse for file dialog is initiated, upon returning to the browser. It's as if there is a layer above the flash app which stops interaction with the mouse. MouseOver events no longer take place and a click is require to remove this layer. If you move your mouse at all after the click this invisible layer returns limiting interaction.
We have tested this with 2 macs running snow leopard and the latest Flash Player. And also verified it is not an issue on Mac OSX previous to Snow Leopard.
It seems to effect only FF and Safari. Opera functions correctly.. Here is a video we created documenting the problem: [URL]
We have not had any customers complain about this yet. But if it's infact a bug, it's just a matter of time.
Is there any "mainstream" library used for this purpose? Commonly spread, well maintained, documented etc.I found these (using flash):
Uploadify - not many releases, latest 12/2010, no documentation (!)
SWFUpload - latest release 03/2010, documentation
fancyupload - looks buggy.
phpfileuploader - looks heavyweight, and looks commercial (?) I cannot read the licence (you can download it but are you allowed to use it forever without paying?) plupload New version of pure javascript (no flash) Valums' ajax upload claims to handle file size limit and progress bar, which is quite suspicious to me: these features require to guess the file size before the upload, which seems impossible in javascript (look also here). Or can it work?

I'd like to assign this font to a TextFormat instance, but as you can see, something is wrong or missing. But what?
I want to open a file dialog via FileReference.browse() but I get #2176 error which means that this action can only be invoked upon some user interaction. I'm aware of security considerations but in my scenario I have a thin flash movie which merely displays an image and the whole UI is in javascript (I heavily use javascript <-> actionscript communication).
So the question is - do you think it would be possible to invoke FileReference.browse() upon the user interaction coming from javascript?
I seem to be unable to attribute behaviors to anything in Flash 7. When I try to a add a behavior to a button I get the dialogue box "No dialog Node found in XML to UI source file."

If you have an .as file in the global include directory do you have to upload it to your server with the flash file or does it compile the flash file with the included info?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out if there is a way to allow a user to upload a file in the background and let them continue to interact with flash movie, while the file is being uploaded. E.g. if they are uploading a 50mb file, we don't want the whole interface to be locked up for 10 minutes while the file uploads, it's be great if they can continue to interact in the movie while the file uploads. I'm guessing if they refresh the page, or navigate away from the movie, that the upload process would get cut off and there isn't anyway around that. Couple of ideas I had:
1. My first thought is that we could use a popup window with a upload form in it. Which is simple, but not very cool.
2. Use some sort of ajax background uploader in conjunction with flash ... not sure exactly if this is possible.

View 2 RepliesI recently used Flash to create the header for my website. However, when I tried to upload my .fla file along with the .swf (which had no problem), I couldn't because the file format isn't supported. Is there any way I can get around this?
Also, I heard that you have to upload some .js file or something.
uploading files on Mac system. The same code runs perfect on a Windows system. Below is a snippet of the code I am using:
public class BrowseImage extends MovieClip
{
public var fr:FileReference = new FileReference();
public var ff:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Images", "*.jpg;*.gif;*.png;*.pdf,*.JPG,*.JPEG,*.GIF,*.PNG");
private var timeStamp:String;
[code].....
Once the file gets uploaded to the server, I load it into my application.Also, the script runs fine if there isn't any space in the file name of the file to be uploaded.
