ActionScript 3.0 :: How To Make "open File" Function
May 15, 2010
Is there a method that you can call that can prompt the user to open a file? Here is what I have:
var file:FileReference = new FileReference;
var newFile:BitmapData = new BitmapData (600,290,false);
newFile.draw(file.upload(file.browse()));
var s:Shape = new Shape();
[code]...
What would I put in the line in bold to achieve this?

I have been working on a project for a week and suddenly it crashed during save (nothing strange had been imported or anything i just saved after moving content around) and now i cant open my file again. I contacted adobe support who claim that since the problem is related to the file this is not their problem, what a load of HORSE ****, who should i contact about this dell if its an FLA FILE!? I have already renamed the file to flash.zip then opened with WinRar and repaired as a new zip file to a different folder (which removes the corrupt content which is document something.xml) then i tried renaming this folder back to flash.fla however the file still does not open.

I have the following code which upon the pressing of the letter "s" opens up a new url in a uiloader window. If you press "s" repeatly it continues to open the window over and over without it finish fully playing, is there a way to add a timer to the "s" so it can only work once every few seconds or possibly a way to make the url completly open before you can press the "s" again??

I have a bunch of flv files and at the momment when a user clicks on the link to each of the files on my site, they are prompted to download each FLV file or asked how to open the video.

Do i have to somehow add the player code to the flv file ?

I'm building a kind of dynamic level generator, at the moment I have it draw a grid of alternating coloured squares/plots (for visual debug), currently set at 1 pixel which I then scale up so they are easier to see. I make a list of all these open 'plots' in an array(maybe a dictionary would be better?)... Next I draw a random selection of roads on top of my grid in another sprite. Ranging in width from 2 to 8 plots. First drawing all the horizontal, and then the vertical ones. Now I'm wondering what would be the best way of finding all the plots/pixels that these roads occupy?I thought perhaps I could draw the roads into bitmap data, and then find the x,y values of all the black pixels? something like:
PHP Code: var bData:BitmapData = new BitmapData(roads.width, roads.height, false); bData.draw(roads)
How on earth do I get the HTML links inside a flash movie open up in the same browser window where said movie is embedded in (As opposed to opening up as a new pop-up windows)? Here is the code I have inside each of the buttons I have inside my flash movie:

I am making this drawing application that so far contains a pencil tool, eraser, text tool, clear tool, and even save image feature. There are a few more features that I would like to add, including a paint bucket tool and a open image feature, but I am not sure exactly how to code them. Here is my code for the whole program:
