ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading A File From User's Computer?
Nov 10, 2009
In my Flash application, I would like a user to be able to import a picture from their hard drive. Basically, the app allows the user to customize an object. One of the steps of customization should be to add an image of their choice.
Is there a way in Flash to allow the user to pick a file from their hard drive, which is then read into memory and made accessible to an application? I would like to take the data and upload it to a server to store it for future sessions.
I am developing an application running in Flash Player. The applicatiosn requestes access to the camera and/or microphone available on user computer.Is there a way in the application I prevent users from seeing this question? i.e. without having user to change his/her Adobe Flash Player setting?
I've made a Flash project which uses a lot of animations based on Actionscript, and I've checked that in old computers those animations have a low framerate.So in order to optimize it, I thought to disable some of them depending on the capabilities of the user's computer, but the only thing I've found which could be useful is the property System.totalMemory
Is there any way to calculate the user's CPU performance in order to act in consequence?In these cases, would it be useful to replace some vector graphics with bitmaps? If I'm not wrong it would make use of more memory but would lower CPU charge, wouldn't it?
I've been searching for quite a while now on a few different sites for information on testing the cpu speed of users computers. I've done this search before about a month ago and remember fidning something about this. Problem is, now I can't seem to find anything. The reason I need to know is because I have an MC on my stage which is using actionscript to animate but on older computers with slow cpu's all the animation slows down terribly. I would like to be able to test cpu speed and redirect to a different page based on cpu speed.
I want to save a jpg of dynamically loaded swf's to the user's computer. Everything works great, except the loaded swf's don't appear in the jpg (everything on the stage renders fine). Any thoughts?
how to allow the user to upload some image of his/her choice from his/her local computer, plus adding some control on size and dimension limit.
I've seen this performed for instance in webs where they sell sunglasses. The movie allows you to upload your own picture of yourself so that you can virtually try them on.
On the site [URL] there is a .swf that prevents users from opening multiple instances of the site at the same time on the same computer. If you open the site, and try to open it a second time in another window, it won't load. You can't open the site again until the first window is closed. How did they implement this?
From my analysis it is NOT:
1. Cookies - The block still takes place if you try opening it in IE and also try opening it in Firefox simultaneously.
2. Flash Cookies - The block still takes place if I disable flash cookies.
3. IP Based Block - You are not blocked if you open the site on two separate computers with the same outbound IP address. From my analysis, their server does not assist in the block at all.
It seems as if their .swf is creating some kind of global system-wide object that can be detected in other instances of the application on the same machine. How did they implement this?

I am using sifr 2.0.7 and here's the deal. The sifr is working (I can see it in the DOM) however, the font is wrong.It doesn't pick up my swf font (DIN) unless you have it installed on your computer?The css font style is: HelveticaNeue which is what the sifr seems to render if you don't have DIN installed.I see it on my computer but my friend see DIN.
What is the fastest way for a Adobe AIR program program to index all images on a users' computer? Using Open Source ActionScript-3, MXML Libs and classes.
Fastest - Same pc configuration, different time (seconds) To index - get a list of absolute links (like c://bla-bla/file ) and save them into file (index.txt) All images (like JPEGs, PNGs)
I'd like to know how to allow the user to upload some image of his/her choice from his/her local computer, plus adding some control on size and dimension limits, and to check that the file to be uploaded is actually a JPG/PNG/GIF and not another else.

I got a new computer several days ago and it doesn't have Flash 8 or Higher. how to transfer Flash 8 programs from my old computer to my new computer? where to find free downloads of Flash 8 or higher?
A client has sent me a Flash CS3 website template she was working on. I'm supposed to do some work on it. When I load it, it displays incorrectly. The body type appears incorrectly. It's different then what it appears on her computer. Causing all the body text to overlap each other. She has Windows Vista with Flash CS3. I'm using Windows XP Professional with Flash CS4.
When I open the file, it says that 'tahoma' font is missing on my computer. And asks me to select a replacement. Obviously, I have Tahoma on my computer -- everyone does. I even got her to send her version of Tahoma to me from her Windows Font Folder. When I tried to install it, it says "font already installed". So, I pointed it to my Tahoma font as a replacement. This could be the problem. But why does it not recognize my version of tahoma?
It is possible to make file transfer from air application via server?I think need to create like byte array streaming or somethink like this from sender and write the destination file on receiver user pc.
I'm not really good with AS3 yet so maybe somebody can help meI found a pong game tutorial and it works fine.[code]Now I want that two computers play against eachother.So no player input only two computer that play.I tried a lot with the script but it doesn't work.
When swf file shows up on a computer as an unknown file, does that mean the computer doesn't have flash player? Or do I need to change my publish settings?
I am trying to save a flv file on my computer from my address on web. Will be an air applicattion that will pick this url from xml and do a URLRequest and save the file on my machine.
I did a code that save the file with the right name, but when I will play this files don't work. Neither on abobe media player.[code]...
I would like to know if it's possible to edit a file from within the browser. I know where the file is and I know its format. I would like to some HTML5 and JavaScript but have little luck so don't mind using Flash or Java.
The file I would like to edit is the hosts file. C:WINDOWSsystem32driversetchosts on Windows XP.
This is mostly for test run of a new breed of AdBlocking so would like to give my browser and the best chance of working. I have Google Chrome Dev opened as ROOT, running on Windows XP.
I'm making a site right now. First there is an intro and then when one clicks on a button (for choosing your language), a new page should open (.html page made in dreamweaver) in the same window, but I don't know how to do this.
This is my actionscript now (but it doens't work):
I am working on this cd-rom and have just reached testing stage for part 1 (of 5). There are lots of interactive activities, video and animations. For the activities, I dont know if I am just too tired but there seems to be items which are visible on my .swf on my computer that sometimes are visible and sometimes are not visible on the cd-rom, also in testing yesterday there sere some activities that seemed to not be working correctly (Althought they perform fine on the desktop version, on a reset of the cd-rom they then seemed to work. Is there anything that I need to take into account for the code being read off a CD to make it more bullet proof? I am stressing out a bit at the Unknown factor- I cannot continue to produce this resource if I cannot guarantee how it will perform in real life?
I am trying to create a list of names which is generated by a swf file that contains buttons representing letters of the alphabet. The user generates a name by clicking on the letter buttons until the letters of the name have been spelled out and then clicking on abutton to add each name to the list. The names are generated inside the swf file but I want the list of names to be deposited in a file within a folder of the computer and remain there as a permanent record after the swf file has been closed. I can do the Actionscript 3 programming associated with the letter buttons but I would like to know how to send the names to the computer file.
Is there a way that i can combine Action Script with BlueTooth?I mean, i am trying to send a txt file from my computer to my mobile using Action script through a bluetooth connection.
I want to distribute an SWF file to be run on computers, not the internet.However, I want to be able to access the internet through a link controlled by a button.This used to work, now I get a security warning telling me I need to change the settings on my computer.For obvious reasons I don't want to make every person who runs the swf file to have to do that!Under Windows I can create an EXE file that does not create the security warning, but on the Mac that won't help.
