ActionScript 3.0 :: FileReference.Browse And Renaming Destination File
Mar 25, 2011
I have an application already created that will upload files successfully, with a progress bar and completion notices and am very happy with the process, but sometimes people upload a file with the same name as an existing file. Is there a way to change the name of the destination file on my server to something more standard during the upload process? I have been using a fileReference.Browse() with capturing all my event handlers through there.

Is there any way to have a function which connects to a server and uploads a local file without calling FileReference.browse?I have an application at a kiosk which is recording a short webcam movie of a guest. Once completed, I'd like for the video to be put on a server and a link send to the guest. I've got the link part working, but am not sure how to get the file up to the server automagically.

This is the first time i am working in action script. I have seen a flash programmer working with it. since i know javascript i was able to work in action script. I am creating a file upload component for my php projects. Until now i have advanced to show the file dialog box using the FileReference api. The select event is not firing for me. and i did not get any error.

I am trying to call the browse() method of the FileReference class from JavaScript (a user clicks on a text that uses the ExternalInterface to call a method in Flash).Unfortunately, I receive an error that tells me it has to be a direct action of the user (like clicking a button). I have searched through Google and realized this is a new security feature in Flash 10.The only solutions I could find was to put a Flash button or to have a hidden flash button over the text, that will call the browse() method.I wanted the browser only to show JavaScript and all the Flash code only called from JavaScript.

I have a requirement to select a file from fileReference.browse(), but I want to browse a file to specific location say D:Dirfile instead of the OS specific (The dialog box is native to the user's operating system).

I'm having troubles with a contact form containing two file uploads (two buttons with Filereference.browse()-call). On all of my computers, the form works fine (Mac + PC); my client, however, reports a 20-second delay on opening the second browse dialog box (the first one opens right away). Client is on a Mac with latest Flash player version. If he double-clicks it, there is no delay. If he first clicks the second button, the delay is on the first.

I have created an image cropper application that upload an image, crop it and generates an jpg to server.BUT, this works perfectly well locally at my Mac at work, online on the server, but not locally at my laptop at home???Why and what the *** can I do?Everything seems fine. I click browse, and the fileReference opens the finder dialog box. But whatever I press, doubleclick the image, press select etc, flash tracks this as if I clicked cancel. The fileRef.onCancel activates, insted of the onSelect???Could it be something wrong with my flash program? Is it anything I can do to fix this (change somthing in the preferenced etc.)?

I am using a filereference.browse box so that users can upload images.although the browse box has a cancel button on it, I am also creating an mc_cancel button ( just in case the user's OS's browse does something funny ).currently, when mc_cancel is pressed, I call my_file_ref.cancel() ... but it doesn't actually close the box ... is it supposed too?

I am trying to do an image uploader, user can:
- browse local file with button.browse
- select one and save it as a FileReference.
- then we do FileReference.load() then bind the data to our image control.
- after we make a rotation on it and change the data of image.
- and to finish we upload it to a server.
To change the data of image i get the matrix of the displayed image and transform it then i re-use the new matrix and bind it to my old image:
private function TurnImage():void
{
//Turn it[code]...........
Now the mater is that i really don't know how to send the data as a file to my server cause its not stored in the FileReference and data inside FileReference is readOnly so we can't change it or create a new, so i can't use .upload();.Then i tried HttpService.send but i can't figure out how you send a file and not a mxml.

We have an issue were the server session associated with a Flex client times out when the browse file dialog is open for a time longer then the configured session timeout. It seems that on some players, the playback is stopped when browse or download on a FileReference is executing. This also causes remote calls to be blocked and hence our manual keep-alive messages are not sent to the server, resulting in a session timeout. I searched for some info on this in the docs and found a notice of it, but it does not explicitly list the players it does (not) work. Would anyone know were I could find a complete list?

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 would like to know if there is any way to find out the destination path of the saved file using the download() method of the filereference class.Cos if that is possible then i could do navigateToURL(_path,_blank) to open that downloaded file in browser Or if there is any other way to do this i would like to know. [If any other thread exists please link to it which answers this]

Is anybody able to figure out what's wrong with this (or specifically why it doesn't work in mac browsers)?
[URL]
I've tried lots of different options including the yamago component [URL]. The yamago component works but I don't like the complexity of the code, it's difficult to edit. It also doesn't work in safari on a MAC.
My example above is the simplest version I've been able to get working but unfortunately only on PC.

I was playing with the JPGEncoder class trying to make an AS3 image uploader. My goal was to let the user browse a file on it's hard disk, display it in a movieclip and then use the JPGEncoder class to convert that movieclip (with the image on it) to ByteArray and send it all to a server-side script. The script (PHP) would then use the ByteArray data to create a jpg file on the server's disk. The problem is that you can't get the file path's from FileReference (it's a security thing). I would like to do this so that I could resize, let's say, a 800x600px image to 320x240 (the size of the container movieclip) BEFORE sending it to the serverThis is the code to load and display the image in a movieclip. It works for files in the same folder as the swf:
Code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;

I am sure this is fairly simple but I just can't get it to work. I am pretty sure it is because of my lack of knowledge in AS 3 and something to do with my variable. Anyway here are the two snippets hopefully someone can make sense of it

I'm writing a small application for myself and instead of using a database I'd like to just use Excel to store the small amount of data I have on my local file system. I want to be able to load that data without having to use the typical FileReference browse() method as it would just be annoying to do every time I use the application.
The code below seems to find the file fine as the file.exists method below and most of the other attributes seem to be correct but the file.data is always null.I'm guessing this is a security issue and that's why I'm running into this problem but I thought I'd ask and see if there is in fact a way around this problem.
var file:File = new File(fullPath + "\" + currentFolder + ".txt");
if(file.exists) {
var byteArray:ByteArray = file.data;
}

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.

I have an AS3 based FLA that, for various reasons, needs nearly all of the linkages in the library reworked (need to move to a different package namespace).This particular FLA is pretty big, so doing this by hand would be rather tedious.I have considered saving out the FLA as an XFL, and just hand editing all of the XML files in the LIBRARY folder, and then saving out as FLA. Has anyone tried this? I have never worked with XFL files before, so I don't know what quirks I may run across.My problem has to do with loading SWFs and class conflicts because of multiple SWFs using the same package namespace. Without getting into too many details, I know about ApplicationDomain and LoaderContext. I am currently loading into a new ApplicationDomain, but that isn't an ideal situation and is causing grief that won't be maintainable in the long run.
