View 2 RepliesI've looked at FileReferenceList and see how to get a list of files from the user's computer. This should work OK for my needs, but what I'd really like to do is have the user drag a directory from their desktop onto the app and iterate through the files. Is this possible or is FileReferenceList the best/only option?
View 3 RepliesI'm working on a project that demands a file upload for images. The guys over at development decided to use flash for this but they are not very proficient on the platform. Go figure... What I would like to do is get the image dimensions for validation purposes BEFORE the image is received by the server. I know it is possible to check for file size.

View 1 RepliesI have a requierement in my project that i need to store 'US/Eastern EST' and day light saving 'US/Eastern EDT' in data base if client machine is in US/Eastern time zone. Because this gives clear identification instead of justing the chars like 'EST'. There is CDT in US region as well as Chaina too so can't relay just on three chars like 'EST'/'EDT'.

I am developing an application in Flash and am using a few system (?) fonts like Verdana & Tahoma. The application will use the fonts for static text display, dynamic text display & user input and it will be deployed on a web server to be accessed mainly by users in the US on Windows & Macintosh systems. I wanted to have a few special characters added to the font and so checked with one of the vendors of these fonts and he told me that if I'm using the font for text display (static & dynamic) its fine, but cannot use it for text input as that would violate the IPR/EULA of these two font.

View 2 RepliesI need to use multiple fonts in my Flex 4 application, so I compile them into swf and load at runtime. I have single .ttf file for each font. When I dont load font's swf file at runtime, flex uses copy of this font installed on my system, and it works fine - I can switch between regular, bold and italic faces of the font correctly.However,when I load fonts from swfs, setting their style to bold or italic makes no effect. I tried different ways of compiling swfs (css using mxmlc compiler, fontswf utility,.as files with [embed] tags), but nothing worked. When compiling using css it sometimes throw errors that font face is not supported, and it seems that some fonts are available only in bold-italic style only or bold style only.I use cff fonts, load them using etcs.ru.utils.FontLoader utility. Fonts are loaded correctly, I check this with Font.enumerate fonts.So is there any way to embed these .ttf files with all styles available?

View 3 RepliesI've got a dynamic text area pulling text from a MySQL database via AMFPHP.The text includes special characters such as accents,umlauts, etc (multi-language site platform). Most of them work fine, and ALL of them work fine when I'm on a Mac client. However, if I use a Windows client machine in either Firefox or IE6, there are a couple characters that for whatever reason just don't seem to show up-instead I get the [] box character.
The only characters I've found that seem to be affected like this are European quote characters like ' " and " (hex characters 146, 147, 148). I'm using the familiar ampersand-pound-number-semicolon escape sequence for them. And like I said, they all display fine on Mac/Firefox and Mac/Safari. Why are all my other special characters (umlauts, accents, etc) working fine and just these things failing? It's also worth noting that they look fine if I dump them out to a PHP file and pull it up in a browser...
