I've got this app that processes what I call "packs". (which are essentially just zip files).
Course, im going to give them the extension .sfxpack or something. Anyway, what im trying to get at is this. Is there any way to have my app open those types of files by default and run a certain function when it is opened?

View 2 RepliesIs there any way to determine a file type from a url when the file extension is not a reliable indicator? Since there are different APIs for playing video, audio, or displaying images, you need to know the filetype beforehand.

View 1 RepliesIs there a way to open the "open file dialog box" in a swf using javascript.
The swf is on a webpage.
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.

View 2 RepliesI am not a stranger to Flash. I have been using it for years. I like it. I use it to create illustrations, but it has this weird issue where the more you edit the line points, the larger your file size gets, until it gets so large that you cannot open it anymore. I generally have this issue around the 7mb mark. I always try to keep an eye on my files and when they get around 3mb, I copy everything and paste them into a new file. I usually do this every two days, or so, if I am working on one illustration for a long time. However, it doesn't usually happen all at once. Today when I opened my file it was about 2mb. I closed it, and then when I went to reopen it had jumped to 14mb! I cannot open my file.
The specific error is, "There is not enough memory to open this scene. Your document is not damaged and may be safely saved. To increase available memory, close open documents or quit and use Get Info command in the Finder to allocate more memory to Flash." I have done searching on google and many people appear to get this error when there are problems with PNG's in the library for their file. The library for my file is completely empty. I have one scene, with about 10 layers. My file was created completely/exclusively in Flash. There are no PNG's or JPG's to be causing problems.
The last time this happened to me, I had a friend with a computer better than mine open the file for me, copy/paste all my layers into a new file, and then send it back. I have experience with the issue but I, unfortunately, don't know if I have any friends who can open 14mb flash files right now.
From my main.swf I want to open up a new play.swf window, while keeping my main.swf still open, but everytime I use loadMovie(),it opens up the play.swf and closes the other main.swf. how to achieve this(don't want to open in Internet Explorer, it should open standalone in flash player)
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to load in a simple xml file that I created in about 5 seconds. Its not complicated. Infact, its really simple. Yet, flash doesn't recognize it..Here is the code.
PHP Code:
var rq:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://www.myserver.com/information.xml");
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
[code]....
why Flash does not organise files in the library, alphabetically, when type of file is selected? I would like to be able to see all my files grouped by type, but they are not in alphabetical order, which kind of defeats the purpose. Unless I am missing something shouldn't this be an issue for Adobe to fix?

I'm trying to implement a feature in my Flash app that lets a user choose a file of a certain type (in this case it's a simple text file with a special extension) on their computer to the application and then use the data from the file within the application. I know this is possible with Flash 10 with the addition of the load method in FileReference, but, unfortunately, Flash 9 doesn't have that.
Is there any way to get Flash 9 to do this without having to resort to uploading to a server and then downloading from there?
(For anyone wondering why I'm so concerned with Flash 9, the simple answer is that my users might not be the most computer-savvy people, so we need to be as backward-compatible as possible.)

Scenario: The company I work for recently attained a client that has a website with flash programming on it. The client recently asked to have improvements made to their site. Part of the improvement deals with modifying the flash program. The client was able to hand over to the company I work for the source for their site which includes the adobe files for the flash program.
When I attempt to access the main fla program of the client's website, i receive the following message:"an error occurred opening the file."
what options are available for me to attempt to read the fla file?
