im trying to load an xml file into my AS3 and CS4 swf. I can successfully save an xml file, but loading one is causing me some difficulty. I can get the following code to load images, but not xml.
Code:
private function loadLevel():void
{

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."

View 2 RepliesI want to know the 'file path' when an user selects a file from 'any location' on his hard disk. I like to know is it possible to fetch the entire file URL instead of the file name alone?

Can I implement the "load" method in FileReference in other way? My client use FP 9 and this method is implemented in FP 10. I am using BlazeDS + Spring and I want to upload images.
View 1 RepliesI used Flash player 10, and Flex SDK 3.4. The code as followings:
// Following comes callbacks
function imageLoadOpenCallback(evt:Event):void
{
trace("in--open");
}
function imageLoadCompleteCallback(evt:Event):void
[Code]...
Only the imageSelectCancelCallback handler get called when I select some files in the dialog. But no load/open/io_error handler get called at all. I have Google some code example, in which it used FileReference instead of FileReferenceList. I don't know the reason,
I have a basic photo editor I am building in flash but I want the user to be able to load an image into flash before its output to the server. Can this be done or does it have to go to the server first then have flash load it from the server? Trying to avoid the overhead and traffic of sending it on place then downloading the same thing back.
View 8 RepliesLet me start by saying I have no intention of using php and I can't wait until flash cs5 comes out with its new read/write capabilities want to load and save XML files (stored on my local hard-drive) in AS3.I am using the FileReference class.Firstly I have noticed that when using FileReference.save if you replace an existing file instead of writing over the file data is appended to the end of the file. Can I make it so the file is overwritten (as it should be) or make it impossible for the user to save in such a situation.Secondly I want to load in text from an external file using FileReference.load I know that somehow you use FileReference.browse first to get it to work but I want to know exactly how to do it.I have looked for a tutorial about loading text in this manner and have not found one.
View 5 RepliesI'm loading a bitmap with FileReference.load() and than dump the byteArray into a Loader object and than add that loader object to stage.The problem is that regardless if I load the loader into a Sprite or add it to the stage, neither the loader or the sprite don't have width or height. It's always 0. So I can't scale the image as I don't know it's dimensions
View 5 RepliesI would like to store a FileReference object somehow and load it when the SWF loads again. I tried to use the SharedObject class but it does not seem to work. I suspect that what I want to do is not doable due to security issues (not using Adobe AIR), but I wanted to check. Any way to store a FileReference object please and load it when the SWF is restarted?
View 1 RepliesI want to load a user's file to a specific size within the stage then after a user uploads their image and places stickers on it, I want them to be able to save their image including part of the artwork from the stage (ex. a framing element).
View 1 RepliesI am currently using filereference in as3 to load a file from the users local disk and display instantly within a loader on the stage. This works fine but i am now needing to load files that are already stored on a server not the local disk, is this possible?
I have tried loading the url into a loader object but this takes far too long if the image is quite big where is filereference is almost instant.
My current code is:
Code:
var mFileReference:FileReference;
browseButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onBrowseButtonClicked);
function onBrowseButtonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {

Is there anyway i can take out the browse and selected stages and just load the server based image?
I'm building a little recorder in flash and I have a little problem with sending the file that is recorded to php. Is there a way to simply send it with a var of do I need to set it to a file reference, but how can I do that because the only way I see that is that you need to browse or load is from somewhere.
View 1 RepliesI'm going to implement a file uploading application using flex 3.5 and php. In the flex code I need to read the content of the uploaded file without calling the FileReference.load() method (Since it is a big issue when uploading large files). I checked many online articles and didn't find a way to do this in flex.access the content of this file without using FileReference.load() method?
View 1 RepliesI am developing an application using Adobe AIR.How can we get absolute path of file or "nativePath" of file (as we call it in Flex/AIR) when we use FileReference to browse a file ? I know there are security concerns related to this but is there any hack or is there a direct solution that I am unaware of?

Is there any way to get the file path of an object that is selected through the browse() method in the FileReference class. I don't think it can be done with a FileReference object, but is there another class that allows this, or any possible way to do this using XML?
View 4 RepliesI'm using Filereference.save() to save a jpg file. It'sbasically working fine, but is there anyway to force a fileextension on the saved file? I'm using "untitled.jpg" as thedefault filename, but if the user changes it to say "myfile", itgets saved as "myfile", rather than "myfile.jpg".

View 1 RepliesI am wanting to allow a user to select an image from their computer to use as a BG. FileReference does this job well, however it does not provide the absolute path to the selected file.
I want the selected BG to stay in their "save" (local SharedObject cookie) so that it can be loaded the next time they come back. But since FileReference only provides me with the filename, I'm not sure how to go about storing this information for later. I could, I suppose, store the image data into the cookie directly, but that would be terribly inefficient since many BG images are rather large for a cookie.
how I can go about finding the image file path that the user selected, or efficiently saving the image they chose?
To load 3 files locally into the Flash Player, one might using something like this manage the sequence after the user has chosen the files...

item.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onFileLoadComplete);
item.load();

I need to make a flash applet that automatically grabs a specific file on a user's system (iTunes XML file) and auto uploads it to my server. So far I have only been able to accomplish this with a user selecting the file, how to upload a specific file without the user having to go and find it.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to perform a file upload using a FileReference from a Flex app running in Firefox 4. However when I attempt to call the upload() method, the Filereference throws an IOError with the following Error #2038: File I/O Error. URL: [URL] If I don't explicitly add a listener for the IOErrorEvent, then I get a Flash player popup stating SecurityError: Error #2000: No active security context.
The request doens't even hit my server (I can verify by placing breakpoints in the Java code and watching the HTTP Requests that go out using HTTPFox), so it seems to me that this is a client side issue (right?). I've done some searching for the problem on google and the suggestions included wrapping the upload() call in a timeout/callLater, and attempting to attach the sessionId to the request (since Firefox creates a new thread for the upload and doesn't attach the proper cookies). Neither of these approaches has worked for me. I don't experience this problem with Internet Explorer, only Firefox.

I am using the FileReference object. I want to be able to save the local file data into a ByteArray. I know that I can use the data property in Flash 10, but I would like a solution that works for earlier versions of Flash.
View 1 RepliesIt would appear that FileReference.upload() is the only way in which you can upload a file to the server in Flash and get feedback about its upload state via a PROGRESS callback. All other methods just go off into the ether and come back when the file upload is completed.
Unfortunately, FileReference appears to insist that a user select the file to be uploaded. There doesn't appear to be a mechanism by which to set the file through code. The reason I need this is that I'm allowing the user to upload massive files and am uploading them in chunks, so, I want to just pack a chunk of data into a FileReference (maybe 5 or 10 megs) and send that off and watch it go. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether it's possible to manually load data into a FileReference object? The data property is read-only, sadly.
first I need to know if I can get the full path of a file from fileReference or by other way by without using xml file.Second, I have a movie clip and I want to apply two event Listeners to it (mouseEvent.CLICK, mouseEvent.DOUBLE.CLICK) together but only .CLICK one is executed twice when I Double click the movie clip.
View 2 RepliesI am using this code to download a file from a server (podcast episode mp3) but I click the submit button and nothing happens. The text field shows "Downloading episode X" but nothing happens, no browse-to-save window pops up or anything. Here is my entire code, no external.It simply uses AMFPHP to drawback results to see if the podcast episode exists. If it returns a 1, the fileReference download is triggered. I'm pretty sure the rest of the code is fine, its just the "localRef.download(requestF);" bit that seems to be doing nothing.[Code].....
