ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Get The Path Or Filename Of GetChild
Aug 19, 2010
Does anyone here knows how to get the path or the filename of an object inserted to the stage?
Here's the scenario:I'm developing a flash app, that enables the user to insert background to the stage by using the Browse and select using the FileReference in flash. I have successfully inserted whatever image the user choose, but what i'm trying to do is that if the user clicks save, the background image that he/she has selected will be copied to another folder on the web (uploads folder). Thus i need to know the path and filename of the background image.

I am in the process of writing a custom script for our internal SharePoint system that will allow for multiple file uploads on list items. In order for this to happen, I was wanting to use a flash file input (to select multiple files at the same time) and then pass an array of file paths (local to the user) into my ASP page to do the actual uploading.Does anyone know of a SWF multiple upload plugin that allows this? I've looked at Uploadify and cannot find what I need there.

Is there a method that does this that I just cant see? I have two uints which represent an x, y position of an unknown object. I need a way to figure out what is that object at the known x and y position.
I've tried getObjectsUnderPoint which returned: [object Shape],[object Shape]
it's correct that there are two objects but doesn't tell me specifically what they are.

I was just wondering if there is a way I can get the same info as the flash.display.getChild() Method, but providing the x and y co-ordiantes of a object.

I found out that I can't target a object inside the main MC if I use getChildAt / getChildByName. It will return me
Error #1119: Access of possibly undefined property someProperty through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject.
I was trying to use something like
this.getChildAt(0).getChildByName("objectName")....

I am trying to retrieve my SWF's referring document filename. For example, if index.html is calling mymovie.swf, I want to return index.html. I know this can be done through a combination of scripting and flashVars, but I would like to avoid that for security purposes. The flashVars variables can be seen by anyone who knows how to view source. Is there a way to accomplish this solely in Actionscript? or Flex?

the same class is passed to the mxmlc compiler in SWF library as a symbol linkage class and again in a source-path. But the compiler uses the definition from the source-path so creating new instance of that class won't create new instance of the library symbol. How do I tell the compiler to prefer the definition linked to the symbol (the one dfrom SWC)?
I have my design assets in an FLA file and they are linked to classes (e.g. [URL]. Then I export those assets to a SWC library and pass it to the compiler. Now when I create an instance of the class (new MyAsset();) it will be a new instance of the library object.
But there are other classes too in the source folder (e.g. "com.myproject.model.*" so I need to pass the source folder to the compiler too. And that is the problem, now the compiler will use the MyAsset.as definition from the source path, not from the SWC where it is assigned to the library object so if I create new instance of MyAsset now it won't duplicate the library object.

I was wondering if it possible to write up some AS that will take line paths that you have drawn and convert them into a Path object? For example say you drew a jagged line from left to write, would there be a way to have AS convert that into a Path object.

I need to get a random filename from a directory in AS3, and open it. (This will be online, so no AIR)
I'm thinking of just using a text/xml file with all the filenames listed, and just traverse through it getting the filename. But is there a more "direct" way to just look at the directory so I don't have to edit the text/xml file all the time?

I am trying to save images to the disk in an AIR app for smartphones. I need a method, that can convert safely Web URLs to valid filenames on Android & iOS (if it would retain Windows/Mac compatibility it'd be good.), and i can get back the original full URL from the filename. For example:[URL]..Encoded format is something like (this is just some example i found out now):http%d%s%swww.google.com%tsearch%rclient%z
And i'd need a method to convert it back. I've looked into BASE64 - but this allows the "/" character, and im afraid to use HEX encoding, because this will generate super long filenames, and URLs can be lengthy.
According to another question, in iOS the max length pathname is 1024 bytes: max length of file name
Anyone has a solution for AIR? Basically this is the same question as Convert between URL and windows filename (Java)? - just for AIR, iOS, Android.should i simply modify a BASE64 encoder, and do some hacks for long filenames?

how to get the actual filename of an external .swf when loaded into another movie clip.
Code:
var toTrace:String = getChildAt(0).name;
trace(toTrace);
That is what I have. It gives me the instance name, which does me no good, because it is a relative instance name. My situation is that I have a few buttons, when clicked they load external .swf into the stage at index 0. how to reference the currently loaded external file.

I'm trying to save an XML file on a remote server via an php file, and so far this works fine by following the tutorial on this site - exept one thing...I would like to define the filename of my XML file to be saved via php in flash dynamically, eg. so I can create several XML's from flash. But how is this possible ?- can an entry in the passed XML file be read in an easy way in PHP4 - or can I send a variable along with the XML object with some wrapping (maybee an advanced object).

it's possible to have AS take the filename of itself and make it a variable. I need it to be done by AS only. I know it's possible in PHP, but I'm not sure about AS. I'm guessing if it's possible it's one line of code. I'm using Flash 8 but publishing at Flash 6, AS 2.

I'm using Flash CS5, and Dreamweaver CS5 to build a site. I'm essentially just using DW as a placeholder for my flash file, which really is the site and all its content. The issue is a minor one, and I'd bet it's a trivial detail I'm overlooking. I saved the .fla file, exported it into my DW .html file, and then previewed it in IE. It looks great, but, when I mouse my cursor over any part of the .fla (basically anywhere in the site), a little box comes up that states what the name of the flash file is.

I am building a flash media player for an live audio stream. The server is set up to stream from a url that looks like so: [URL]. The instructions I have found say to first set the directory:
nc.connect("rtmp://ourwowzaserver.net:80/ourfiledirectory");
And then later play it:
nc.play(mp3:thefilename)
This works when we have discrete filenames on the server (thefilename), but the live stream is not a file - rtmp://ourwowzaserver.net:80/shoutcast. How in the heck do I get .play to play it?

Here's what I am trying to accomplish. I have a BitmapData that I am sending to a PHP function as ByteArray on the server by using URLRequest. The PHP function then saves the ByteArray as a jpg. All is well, so far and I am able to save the image on the server. Where I am stuck is that the PHP function generates the image file name randomly and I have no clue on how to get the name of the file I have just saved on the server. I am using the below code to send byteArray to the PHP function. How to modify/add this so I can get the filename of the image once it's saved on the server?
var myHeader:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Content-type","application/octet-stream");
var myReqst:URLRequest = new URLRequest(path);

I have a some Flash CS4 file with some AS3 with under one file name say file1.fla. And it just plays correctly. But as soon as I change the filename to different name such as file2.fla, then it no longer plays. I have to generate many file name with identical content say file3.fla, file4.fla etc. Now simply renaming the fla file name just make it non-playable, as soon as I hit CTRL+ENTER, nothing but white background shows up. It is fcking driving me crazy, WTF is wrong with this software?
