Actionscript 3 :: Flash - Monitoring File Upload Progress?
May 28, 2010
I'm trying to track the progress of a file upload in AS3, and I'm getting strange behavior. When I select a file and upload it, the progress is instantaneously 100% even if the file is 10 or more megabytes, but it's not finished. The onComplete event is fired about 30 second to a few minutes later (depending on file size) when the file has really finished uploading. I've tested this locally and on the server, the behaviour is the same. Has anyone else experienced this? Very frustrating ...
Otherwise, the file is uploading fine. The code is simple:
myFileReference.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onUploadProgress);
function onUploadProgress(e:ProgressEvent) {
var pctDone:Number = (e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal) * 100;
trace(pctDone);
}

I have a Flex3 application which has to be capable of uploading multiple files and monitoring each files individual progress using a label NOT a progress bar.
My problem is that a generic progress handler for the uploads has no way (that I know of) of indicating WHICH upload it is that is progressing. I know that a file name is available to check but in the case of this app the file name might be the same for multiple uploads.
My question: With a generic progress handler how does one differentiate between 2 multiple uploads with the same file name?

Is there any "mainstream" library used for this purpose? Commonly spread, well maintained, documented etc.I found these (using flash):
Uploadify - not many releases, latest 12/2010, no documentation (!)
SWFUpload - latest release 03/2010, documentation
fancyupload - looks buggy.
phpfileuploader - looks heavyweight, and looks commercial (?) I cannot read the licence (you can download it but are you allowed to use it forever without paying?) plupload New version of pure javascript (no flash) Valums' ajax upload claims to handle file size limit and progress bar, which is quite suspicious to me: these features require to guess the file size before the upload, which seems impossible in javascript (look also here). Or can it work?

I am trying to upload image files to my server using AS3 and PHP, and at the moment I am succeeding in uploading multiple files and restricting it to images only, but since I am finding it difficult to figure out how to have a loader bar show when the files are being uploaded, as well as executing a function once all files have been uploaded to go to a specified frame.
Here is my code thus far,
AS3:
import flash.net.FileReferenceList;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code]....
1: how can I display a percentage or a uploading bar indicating the progress of the files being uploaded?
2: How can I launch a callback function after ALL files have been uploaded successfully?
3: How can I make the file browser appear on click, and not upon loading the flash file?

I am attempting to monitor the progress of an image scroller I've built and all of the images (thumbs) load separately. What would be the best way of figuring out what the total progress of the images that are loading? I was thinking it would be cool to use a generic loader and apply it to a function such as
myScroller.loadImages();

i have build a flash project where most of the content externally loads in to the main movie. for each chapter i made a "Loader" component, and a "progressBar" connected to the "Loader". during building i was re checking that all is working well (test movie with "simulate download"). then, i was uploading it to my server and when i view it on "fireFox", or "Safari" , it all working. but, when trying to view it on "IE", i never see the "progressBar" and, all the Actions that relate to the "on (complete) {}" never happens.

Here's a screencast of my uploader in progress - [URL] You'll notice that the progress bar jumps all over the place during upload. Is it trying to show the progress for each individual files rather than all the files at a whole? I'm not thinking its the latter, because you'll notice its set to put a green check next to a file when a file is done. However the jumpyness of the progress bar and when the checks appear aren't syncing.

I am a novice to flex and I am trying to develop an application for uploading multiple image file along with progressbar for each upload. The datagrid holds the name of the file and the progressbar for each file when we select and add a file. When there is progress in file upload, it should be reflected in the progressbar as well. I have used filerefencelist to hold the collection of files and when i try to upload files it generates error "Null object"
My code :
private var initDG : ArrayCollection;
private var _arrUploadFiles:Array = new Array();
private var currentFile:FileReference;
private var currentFileIndex:Number = 0;
private var uploadErrors:Array = new Array();
[Code] .....

I'm deploying a small application with Adobe Air. My application will do batch upload from filepath which stored in a text file. For example, in a text file name "list.txt", there is a string "C:myfilesIMG_0001.JPG". Now I want to upload this image file, keep tracking of upload progress :-< I want to use FileReference to get the upload progress, but I don't know how to import from file's path. I also wonder how to use FileReference to upload this file without prompting a dialog for user to select file.

I am uploading a file to a server using a multipart URLLoader. I am able to upload the file fine. I have tried to listen to the progress event on the URLLoader but it only fires at the very end of the upload. How do I get the progress event more consistently through the upload?

My application asks the user to select files for upload using a FileReference /FileReferenceList. The client then compresses the File data and uses URLLoader to upload the contents of the file.One problem with the URLLoader is that the progress event does not get triggered for uploads. How do I track the upload progress? I am unable to create a FileReference for the newly compressed ZIP ByteArray.

Is there any way to get the upload progress? I can't find anything in AS3 docs or on the web.

my listener.onComplete = function(selectedFile:FileReference) is fired without any file in the upload dir. if the file is small and I wait a bit I can see the file (through FTP) coming up on the server, but most of the times the "onComplete" if fired without any file being saved.
can I add something to this php code to make sure the file is uploaded?

Has anyone seen the issue with the progess bar, when uploading on a system running Windows 7.The progress bars show 100% immediately as the upload is happening, and the site looks like its frozen out - but its not, the upload finishes and the onComplete event is fired! So the upload is working, but not the progress bar.I am not even sure who's problem this is... is it MS, or Adobe

If you have an .as file in the global include directory do you have to upload it to your server with the flash file or does it compile the flash file with the included info?

I know how to setup a preloader and I have that working. But when I debug the flash application and simulate a download, it has a blank background until a few seconds have passed. I know it is "downloading" the swf file and I'm wondering if I can show a progress bar for that, or do I need to have the swf file as small as possible and pre load everything needed and have all assets as a separate file I fetch? I found something with ProgressEvent.PROGRESS but this only loads after the flash file is finished downloading.

I am attempting to make a simple class that I use to debug some of my code at runtime. I use a function in my debug class to pass a variable from another class that I want to monitor in realtime. For simplicity sake I am only passing Stings at the moment. I can pass the variable that I want successfully but I am stumpted as to how I to get my DebugClass to monitor that variable in realtime. Since the variable is being altered in another class, what would I needto do to have the debugClass monitor that variable without having to call a new function everytime the varible changes, which could be 300+ times a minute.
This is the current method I use to add the variable to my displayList:
protected function addDebugData(stringToAdd:String):void{
var debugText1:TextField = new TextField();
debugText1.border = true;

I'm trying to put together a news system which allows users to write a headline, a short article (300 words)then upload an image to with the piece.I can do the text part with LoadVariables ("uploader.php" , this, "POST" ) which just sends the vars to php and then on into an SQL table and I can do the upload image part with the code below (taken from a Kirups tutorial) - but I can't seem to do both in one go .I Don't care if the image goes to a blob in SQL or into the file system of the server - I just need the text posted to SQL and the image uploaded.
AS2 CODE:
import flash.net.FileReference;
var progressBar:MovieClip;
var reference:FileReference = new FileReference();[code].....
