Ive just made a "browse" button with FileReference and it works well, now Im trying to "catch" the location of the file that you select and put it on an input text.
[Code]...
So far Ive tried with that code and works but ".name" only display the name and the extension of the file, and I need the full location.
I created a simple button that displays an error messeage: "error opening 'url" when I test the movie, but does play and opens in browser after publishing. However, it won't open in the browser in a different location. I pasted the html code in a web page but it doesn't work there nor opens in the browser in a differnet location from where it was originally published and saved. Why is that?

View 1 RepliesI'm attempting to create a template with one simple change to the file output location. I need the .swf file to placed in a subfolder, i.e. "output/filename.swf" Instead of the default "filename.swf"My problem is, if I edit the output file name field in publish settings in any way, the export file name is now locked, meaning if i have used my new template to create 3 fla files, they will all be named the same thing and replace one another in the output folder i've created. (trying to eliminate the need to open the publish settings menu here)I was hoping there was a variable like ${filename} or something i could use, but cannot find something like that.

View 1 RepliesSo I have a .swf file that loads in xml and such. Now I want to have a flash file load that into it, but when I do the loaded .swf loses the location of its files to load?
So.

File C - load swf xml file
All sit in the same folder
if I open file B, it reads file C no problem
if I open A that loads in B, it loses location of C and it dont load the xml? I am on access network files.

I'm trying to do some restructing of a flash codebase, and I was wondering if anyone could clarify something for me as I'm unsure whether what I'm trying to do goes against a fundamental priciple of flash development or I'm being confused by the Flash CS4 user interface(I've got a java development background, so some of the interaction between fla files and the like is somewhat difficult at times to get my head around). I've done several searches but can't seem to find any similar problems, apologies if any exist.
Basically, I want to restructure my codebase and move my fla files around by putting them at a different location in the directory structure.
Existing structure:
basecompany namecomponent name
where fla files are stored in base, and code is stored in company namecomponent name, and code in said location is in the company name.component name package.
What I want to do is move my fla files from base to component name for each individual project. The actual location of the code is unchanged, but the fla files no longer compile, giving me a 5001 error - package name does not reflect location. I'm assuming that this is because the relative location is different - as far as the fla file is concerned, the code it is referencing is located at component name, not company namecomponent name. Is it possible to make the CS4 publisher understand that the fla file is not at the root of the package structure, and if so how?
I'm constructing an enhanced CD menu in Flash. I'm going to be including some desktop backgrounds that I would like people to be able to click on and then save the file from the CD to a location of their choice.
Is there a way to do this - access the files system as you would when you choose a file to upload but instead are choosing a location to save that file too? And then copy the file from a Cd location to this chosen loaction.
Or alternatively is there a way to just open a pop up file window in a certain location.
Quick question here about variables in flash..Im loading the location of an XML file via FlashVars in my html document (I'm using the SWFObject to render the flash by the way).

View 7 RepliesI'm building a site that was bought from a template house that has a flash piece in the header. I have Win CS4 and have been able to swap out the images and replace the text but I am having a hard time finding where I can edit where/how the text aligns/ends up. Here's the test location: FertilityTestSite
Originally there was text of varying lengths that slides in below each image aligning right to the play/stop button. I tried to get them to give me text of a similar length but they just want the phone number. So now the phone number slides in but because the original text was longer (except for the one that had a ph#) they stop at different locations where the original 1st character came allowing to align right.
So my question is how/where do I edit this action? Would this be [in] the ActionScript? I am a complete noob and have only gotten to where I am through trial and error. I was able to find and replace the text in Essentials workspace and I was able to swap images (update) by right clicking them in the library view and I see a text export in there too that I have a high suspicion is what I need to edit but don't know how to access it.

I've run into a strange error and I was wondering if anyone had experience with this.I'm working on a flash platforming game and I recently released a demo. I was having a problem with the getting the file to play correctly when I noticed an error:The file plays differently depending on where the file is saved. For example:Platform Explorer (http://jrjellybeans.net/platformExplorer.swf).This file runs fine. Platform Explorer (http://jrjellybeans.net/flashGames/platformExplorer.swf).This file opens up the level editor. Yet, I make no call to the level editor anywhere in this particular file.The thing is that the files are EXACTLY the same. Just saved in different locations.
