I am creating a website to allow users to download a selection of soundfiles. What I'm wondering is how I can create a link in ActionScript 3 which downloads a specified file to the users machine - giving them control over the download location along the way.

We've all been to driver download pages where you select your model from one combobox list and then that choice populates the next combobox of choices and then that combobox choice spawns a link to the driver.Combobox 1 will display a list of 14 items. Each item in that list has a subset of 3-4 items that will appear in combobox 2 once a selection is made. Then when a selection is made in combobox 2 a link will appear for a download
View 1 RepliesI understand that PlUpload supports several runtimes (html5, html4, gears, flash, etc). But most browsers now a days support flash. And most other file uploaders (namely: uploadify, fancy upload, to name afew) would function via a combination of javascript and flash. And the same file uploaders only support ONE runtime, which is flash. Even if the flash player plugin is not installed. A developer can easily integrate flash detection tools and redirect users to a download link. Which is most common for several sites.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to allow users to download a song based on a radio button selection. And I've succeeded in getting the "save as" box to pop up, but for some reason, the file does not actually download and save after you hit the save button.

EDIT: Someone informed me that if the variables weren't defined OUTSIDE of the function then they would be garbage collected. I moved them outside but it is still behaving the same.
MMO best practice. Download music and heavy files to users hard disk? I have just downloaded a Hello Kitty MMO app for research (for my kid of course).I am developping my English teaching app with LOADS of classical music, mp3 sentences and heavy background bgs. Would the best idea be for client to download these to their hardisk ie I would not need to stream them and therefore save a fortune on bandwidth charges from my ISP?
View 3 RepliesMy website allows users to upload photographs which I store on Amazon's S3. I store the original upload as well as an optimized image and a thumbnail. I want to allow users to be able to export all of their original versions when their subscription expires. So I am thinking the following problems arise.Could be a large volume of data (possibly around 10GB)How to manage the download process - eg make sure if it gets interrupted where to start from again, how to verify successful download of files.Should this be done with individual files or try and zip the files and download as one file or a series of smaller zipped files.Are there any tools out there that I can use for this? I have seen Fzip which is an Actionscript library for handling zip files. I have an EC2 instance running that handles file uploads so could use this for downloads also - eg copy files to EC2 from S3, Zip them then download them to user via Flash downloader, use Fzip to uncompress the zip folder to user's hard drive.
View 1 RepliesCan I develop a Flash AS3 download swf that will let a user select a location on their hard drive to download files to and then start the download of multiple files (in the same way I can do with upload)? Or should I zip all the multiple files first and download zipped files to local disk. My users will want to download potentially hundreds of images from a server to local disk so I dont want them to have to click save for each one. Will AS3 let me pass an array of filenames and store the location that the user originally chooses? I ask because this sounds like it would have been not allowed for security reasons.
View 3 RepliesThe users using my website say they can't see the flash videos on the website, even after downloading the latest version of Adobe flash. May there be any reason for this ?

One of the users that the videos do not run for him has Windows operating system & Internet explorer browser.
I've put a check in the videos page to check if the user has the required flash version installed or not to run the video, but even if that user installs the latest flash version he keeps getting my check message, as in this screenshot: [URL]...
I working on a Flash quiz that will trace the users coming from a particular page on a website. If the user comes from that page then a link will not be displayed in the quiz. If they don't come from that page then the link will be displayed, or the link will be turned on if you will. The reason for the dynamic functionality, is to avoid creating two flash files that do the same thing, and then maintained on a regular basis.
View 3 RepliesWith the aid of Dreamweaver CS4 I've manged to create a temp 'under construction website'. This website has a fullscreen .swf looping in the background.
I have made 4 of these very short looping .swf files.Is it possible, by adding one simple button on the screen, for the user click and the next .swf background starts playing? So basically this button acts a 'next' button, and each times it's clicked the next .swf starts to play.

Ps: check out the source code. The flash background code starts from '<!-- flash background -->'.

I'm trying to make a little program. It works right now by drawing the top shape to the dark gray area, where it then copies itself and changes color. The new shape can be re-dragged as well. What I want to do now is add a dynamic border when I click on the new object, I want the box to adjust to an appropriate size. And on mouse release I want the selection border to disappear on the new shape. I want the selection border to be dashed much like you find in many of Adobe's programs, if at all possible.

I am creating a computer game with a save game function which outputs the contents of an array to a shared object, so that users don't loose their place.However, I wish for this to work with multiple users, and realise that to do this I need a new seperate "folder" within the shared object being created for each new users data array.I know it must be something like....
// Define the shared object using a "sublevel" for each users data array...
_root.savegame.sublevel = sharedobject.getLocal("savegame"; "/");
// somehow dynamically change "sublevel" to the contents of the var "currentUser" as defined when the user logs in when the game loads up.
OR...
//Define the shared object but using a variable title for the actual SO...
_root.savegame = sharedobject.getLocal("savegame_currentUser", "/");
//with that "currentUser" being dynamically substituted for the contents of the var "currentUser" which is defined when the User logs in when the game loads up.

View 1 RepliesI would like to allow visitors to download flash files from my website.
I have the following code one my first button:
Code:
download_btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("blankWebsite.exe");
}
This works fine and opens a 'Save', 'Open' or 'Cancel' pop-up box.
For button two (the xml file which visitors can use to populate the blank website they have downloaded) I have used the following code:
Code:
download2_btn.onRelease = function(){
getURL("template.xml");
}
However, rather than giving the option of saving the file (which is what I want) the file opens in a new browser window.
way to offer the 'Save', 'Open' or 'Cancel' options for the xml file rather than it opening immediately in a new browser window?
