is it possible to upload an image from local computer to online flash application, but without actual uploading it to a server, just in memory. Need to load picture, make some manipulations, print it from flash and forget.thrashing the server with loads of photos is worst scenario.

As far as I know, what I ask here isn't possible, but I thought I'd ask anyway in case I'm missing something.
Suppose you want to let users upload JPG images, and these images are scaled into smaller icons and the original images are always discarded and never required again. Is there any way that would commonly work in most modern browsers that would let the user select a single image on their hard drive, have that LOCALLY turned into a thumbnail and upload the created thumbnail to a server?
In a case where the server just needs a small image, it would be wasteful both in user time and server resources to proceed uploading the whole image, only to immediately discard it. It would be much better to just scale it on the client.
I can imagine three options. Just plain HTML/Javascript, using Flash or using Java. If this were possible with Flash, that would seem like the best option. But reading flash.net.FileReference documentation, it seems that you can upload a file from the HD yes, but you cannot look inside the file you are uploading. On the other hand, if you enable "can access local files" in Flash publishing options, it seems that you can then no longer access the net, so that doesn't work.
With HTML/Javascript, it is possible to load images and display them on a <canvas>, but if you try to access the pixels of these images, you get security violations, so that doesn't seem to work.
Java I hesitate to use, because only 96.52% of my users have it installed, and the file upload dialogs I have seen implemented in Java (at Facebook for example) have not worked well (unresponsive interface). I wonder though if Java is the only thing allowing resizing images from local HD?
I have a big problem : My gallery ( with xml) was working perfect until yesterday . I uploaded my files to my server to test them. This morning I reopened the fla to make modif and big surprise : only the big image appears but no thumbs anymore in the scroller. I tried to trace the xml nodes but thay are now undefined. WHY? Everything is in the same folder.Nothing changed. I turned everything upside down but nothing. Does a uploading can affect some configuration ? Are the xml modified modified after being uploaded ?
View 3 RepliesI'm using Flex 4.5 in a Mobile air for android application. So, Using the Camera/Camera roll [URL]I want to do a simple upload using amfphp Note: Since this is how you get pictures on devices, i cant use the filreference because it wants you to get the pictures using "browse" which cant be done on android or ios My plan is, after I select a picture or capture one with the camera, in the event I can get the local url to the picture that was taken like this:
[URL]
I'm putting this in the imageURL var (i'm assuming i should make it into a byte array to transfer it, im not exactly sure this is my first time making something like this)Here's how i'm taking that image, making it into a byte array, and using amfphp to send the upload to the server:
protected function upload_btn_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(imageURL);
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(request);
[code]....
But i'm getting an error NetConnection.Call.BadVersion.This is the first time im trying something like this so im not even really sure if im going about it right. All the examples I find online go about using the fileReference class, but that seems to require me to use the "browse" method, and im on a mobile application that uses the camera and camera roll to grab pictures off the device, and im not sure how to incorporate that into the fileref class. I figured i could just get the byte array and send it to php myself and it should be just fine.
After browsing for the images, and selecting them. How can I display a preview of the image in the datagrid? I am able to display the file name, file size, but was unable to display the image. Below are the codes I have written, it is not a complete code but just enough to make it understandable.
// variables used
var list:Array = new Array();
var listDP:Array = new Array();

I have some code to scale an image's width according to its height after the image is being loaded. It works fine on my development PC if I point to the wrapper html using local file system path. However, after I deploy the web application to JBoss AS 5.1, it stopped working - it always sets the image width to 0, causing it to disappear.
Code for scale image side:
private function scaleImage():void {
img.width = img.contentWidth;
}
<mx:Image id="img" updateComplete="callLater(scaleImage)" height="100%" />
I am trying to embed a flv with a custom skin from Flash CS4 on my web page. I have embedded FLV's before using Dreamweaver CS4 by going to Insert/Media/FLV and it worked fine. However, I do not like any of the skins available in DW.
So I created a FLA in Flash with a skin that I prefer. The file previews fine in Flash. I published it and Flash create the flv, swf and skin.swf. I then went to DW and choose Insert/Media/SWF and inserted on the html page. I previewed it in the browser and it worked fine.
I uploaded the .swf, flv, skin, and html to my server. The skin appears but the flv video does not.
Is there somewhere in Flash that I need to specify "Progressive Download" as in DW? Or am I missing a file? Or.....
Here is a link to the page: [URL]
its got a bunch of .fla, .swf and .html files which i just have to edit with my information. pretty easy.I uploaded all the files to my server and everything works great.so ive been editing the .fla files, inserting my pictures and information then publishing the .swf files and putting them back on the server and everthing looks great.
* The problem is that after uploading my last .swf file my webpage stopped working... i can see the front page put it doesnt load and when i click on my links it doesnt go to them.When i open the .swf file i get this ERROR:
Error opening URL 'file:///Macintosh%20HD/Users/thumper%5Fjeep/Library/Caches/Cleanup%20At%20Startup/Transmit/3704291E%2D0BE0%2D4A1F%2DB379%2D3F80743EE79B/xml/menu.xml'
It looks like the .swf file is looking xml/menu.xml on the server but for some reason the path is all wrong and the path appears to be to my Mac and not the server.
What I have to do is upload some images to a server, which is OK, but before uploading I must downsize this images by reducing their quality and width/height. I've found many information about the class JPGEncoder, but I couldn't make it work.

I asked a similar question before but didnt get a definite answer! Basically I just want to know if its possible to have a standalone SWF file which allows the user to browse there computer and load an image into the SWF to view it (in AS2)? Ive researched this FileReference class but it seems that requires servers and what not. I only want to upload the image to the SWF, not to an external server?

View 1 RepliesI did a bit of search without success to find if anything like this was answered before.Sorry for asking a silly question, I am a newbie and hence maybe missing something obvious.I used the Encoder to create the flv file and embedded the file in the timeline and the swf file plays the video just fine locally. For some reason, it's not playing after I uploaded it to the server. I did copy over all the files (swf)s) & flv). It's a very small video and I can't even see the video(just blank) while running the swf file after uploading the files on to the server. All other frames are working as expected.
View 1 RepliesI want to upload data (not a local file) with Flex (4.1), and show what the progress is of the bytes sent. Now I use a URLLoader, but I know that URLLoader was designed to download data, I can connect a listener to ProgressEvent.PROGRESS but that has no effect. I also know there is a FileReference object which supports uploading. The problem here is, I do not want to browse for a file and upload it. I have a byte array which I want to send to the server, but the data property of FileReference is read-only. How can I send the byte array (which is actually a PNG encoded image) to the server and be able to track the progress of the bytes sent to server?

View 1 RepliesFor the past few hours I've been trying to figure out a way to add a watermark to an image file before uploading it using the FileReference.upload(); method. The uploading works already. I just have to figure out how to get a small watermark (PNG image with alpha-transparency) on the lower right of the image file. Another thing is, I don't want to modify the source file. I just want to add the watermark on upload.
What approach would you recommend for this type of setup? I also can't seem to find any pre-made classes already that I can use for this certain thing. Is this not a very common task? And no I can't use server-side (PHP) to do the watermarking because I'm communicating directly to a service's API, not through my server.
I am writing an app for android devices, it uses the CameraRoll class to retreive images from the gallery. It then catches the raw bytearray data and encodes it into a base64 string, then sends the string via httppost to a server that decodes the string and saves the file.Every part of this is fine except one detail, the images are corrupt when they are saved on the server. Except one thing that makes things weirder, when I load these corrupt jpg images into a flash app they work just fine.Previously I have made apps that uses the Camera class to take photos in the app, and this works fine, the reason I am using cameraroll is because I want to be able to get high quality images, which is not possible using the regular camera -> bitmapdata.draw -> jpegencode -> send method.The code is basically thi
