ActionScript 3.0 :: Close A Filereference Browse Box?
Feb 8, 2011
I am using a filereference.browse box so that users can upload images.although the browse box has a cancel button on it, I am also creating an mc_cancel button ( just in case the user's OS's browse does something funny ).currently, when mc_cancel is pressed, I call my_file_ref.cancel() ... but it doesn't actually close the box ... is it supposed too?
I am trying to call the browse() method of the FileReference class from JavaScript (a user clicks on a text that uses the ExternalInterface to call a method in Flash).Unfortunately, I receive an error that tells me it has to be a direct action of the user (like clicking a button). I have searched through Google and realized this is a new security feature in Flash 10.The only solutions I could find was to put a Flash button or to have a hidden flash button over the text, that will call the browse() method.I wanted the browser only to show JavaScript and all the Flash code only called from JavaScript.
I have a requirement to select a file from fileReference.browse(), but I want to browse a file to specific location say D:Dirfile instead of the OS specific (The dialog box is native to the user's operating system).
I'm having troubles with a contact form containing two file uploads (two buttons with Filereference.browse()-call). On all of my computers, the form works fine (Mac + PC); my client, however, reports a 20-second delay on opening the second browse dialog box (the first one opens right away). Client is on a Mac with latest Flash player version. If he double-clicks it, there is no delay. If he first clicks the second button, the delay is on the first.
I have created an image cropper application that upload an image, crop it and generates an jpg to server.BUT, this works perfectly well locally at my Mac at work, online on the server, but not locally at my laptop at home???Why and what the *** can I do?Everything seems fine. I click browse, and the fileReference opens the finder dialog box. But whatever I press, doubleclick the image, press select etc, flash tracks this as if I clicked cancel. The fileRef.onCancel activates, insted of the onSelect???Could it be something wrong with my flash program? Is it anything I can do to fix this (change somthing in the preferenced etc.)?
I have an application already created that will upload files successfully, with a progress bar and completion notices and am very happy with the process, but sometimes people upload a file with the same name as an existing file. Is there a way to change the name of the destination file on my server to something more standard during the upload process? I have been using a fileReference.Browse() with capturing all my event handlers through there.
- then we do FileReference.load() then bind the data to our image control.
- after we make a rotation on it and change the data of image.
- and to finish we upload it to a server.
To change the data of image i get the matrix of the displayed image and transform it then i re-use the new matrix and bind it to my old image:
private function TurnImage():void { //Turn it[code]...........
Now the mater is that i really don't know how to send the data as a file to my server cause its not stored in the FileReference and data inside FileReference is readOnly so we can't change it or create a new, so i can't use .upload();.Then i tried HttpService.send but i can't figure out how you send a file and not a mxml.
We have an issue were the server session associated with a Flex client times out when the browse file dialog is open for a time longer then the configured session timeout. It seems that on some players, the playback is stopped when browse or download on a FileReference is executing. This also causes remote calls to be blocked and hence our manual keep-alive messages are not sent to the server, resulting in a session timeout. I searched for some info on this in the docs and found a notice of it, but it does not explicitly list the players it does (not) work. Would anyone know were I could find a complete list?
Is there any way to have a function which connects to a server and uploads a local file without calling FileReference.browse?I have an application at a kiosk which is recording a short webcam movie of a guest. Once completed, I'd like for the video to be put on a server and a link send to the guest. I've got the link part working, but am not sure how to get the file up to the server automagically.
This is the first time i am working in action script. I have seen a flash programmer working with it. since i know javascript i was able to work in action script. I am creating a file upload component for my php projects. Until now i have advanced to show the file dialog box using the FileReference api. The select event is not firing for me. and i did not get any error.
I created a program that sends images to a server, use the browse function of a FileReference object to check the files when you click a button "send pictures. But I would like to open the program he ask for the files but do not know how.
I am trying to use the load method of FileReference object to load the data and use it to display a thumbnail of the selected image.However, after calling fr.load(), fr.data remains null.I'm using Flex Builder 3.0.2 on Windows 7 with Flex SDK 3.4 and Flash Player 10 Debug. If I evaluate fr.load() in Eclipse's watch variables list, I get an error reading "No such variable: load."
*let say i have a mc called A. it can call a MC with an instance name called window_btn.window can be drag and double click.i want to put a close button in the window MC to close the window.
Is anybody able to figure out what's wrong with this (or specifically why it doesn't work in mac browsers)?

I've tried lots of different options including the yamago component [URL]. The yamago component works but I don't like the complexity of the code, it's difficult to edit. It also doesn't work in safari on a MAC.
My example above is the simplest version I've been able to get working but unfortunately only on PC.
I was wondering if there is a way to do a browse button for a field in flash, a la php where you click it, you can navigate a file you want to upload, and it populates the file in the text field (basically a file upload type of thing). i know that you will need to use php/mysql to go along with it
I'm actually having problems with some AS code. I have a news ticker successfuly adapted from this site, and it's working okay. But I have to add some features I cannot solve by myself, so I 'm asking some help here. My problem is the following :
By what means can I force the Setinterval to be "skipped" (I'd like to add a fast forward/rewind buttons) with a simple MC ? I know a bit about the clearInterval function, but this leads to an akward behaviour of my flash movie (once skipped, the XML is not read in a chronological order� and so on).
The trick is that I I have differents controls type :
- a simple combo previous/next + play-pause buttons
- 4 areas that lead to a particular node (which works partially)
Instead of posting the whole code here, I attach my source .fla + XML (to be renamed as .xml extension is not recognized in the attachments) for you to see how messy is my code (more than partially adapted from the news_ticker.fla used on the tutorials here)
Id like to know how to make a very simple script that uploads files to a server.The file should be accessed by a "browse"-button in the .swf-file, and then put into a folder.
I have a contact from on a website i am making in flashCS4, i have the PHP script written for me and i have the Action Script to submit this information. i am now looking to add a browse and a upload form.
how do i browse through all the children with the same instance names from a movieclip?note: this movieclip has some children with other names as well.
I'm making a small back-end system, and I would like to know if it's possible to integrate a browse button...I did already soms "research"...I pass a var from flash to javascript
With this you select a file and the path will appear as a string in the textfield. Now the thing I want is to call the function, when I click a button in Flash, that chooses a file and passing the string back to flash, to put it there in a textfield. But how do you call that function?

Can you by any means of java script or anything else get a browse window to pop up from within flash? Return the selected file, or even get a php script to upload it?
