I recently used Flash to create the header for my website. However, when I tried to upload my .fla file along with the .swf (which had no problem), I couldn't because the file format isn't supported. Is there any way I can get around this?
Also, I heard that you have to upload some .js file or something.
I want people to be able to upload images so should I have them upload it into a db using BLOB or should I have them upload it to the web server? I've been reading people say that the web server is probably better to use, but I don't know about that using AS.
View 1 RepliesI'm uploading images via filereference.upload ... works fine when testing on local machine with apache. once I port everything to my web-based server ( shared server with a webhosting company ), the upload fails. - do not get any errors such as SECURITY_ERROR , HTTP_STATUS , IO_ERROR - do get 1 PROGRESS event - only 1 - but it already shows 100% - do get COMPLETE event after a couple of seconds - do not get UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA, but do get it on localhost - do not get the image on the remote server - my local php is 5.2 ... webserver php is 4.4 ... - I have tried setting 757 as file permissions for image directory - all php, swf, image directories are in the same domain, though in different directories. - I have tried uploading the image to the same directory as php directory itself .
View 1 RepliesI've got a thumbnail button slideshow of some images and to keep the file size down I placed all the images in separate .swf files and linked the buttons so the images will appear in a space on stage (level 1) as follows:
on (release) {
loadMovieNum("mov-1.swf", 1);
}
I've got 15 images linked this way and it all works fine when viewed in the html page on my computer. But when I upload to my webserver, the images on level 1 don�t appear.
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?

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?

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?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to figure out if there is a way to allow a user to upload a file in the background and let them continue to interact with flash movie, while the file is being uploaded. E.g. if they are uploading a 50mb file, we don't want the whole interface to be locked up for 10 minutes while the file uploads, it's be great if they can continue to interact in the movie while the file uploads. I'm guessing if they refresh the page, or navigate away from the movie, that the upload process would get cut off and there isn't anyway around that. Couple of ideas I had:
1. My first thought is that we could use a popup window with a upload form in it. Which is simple, but not very cool.
2. Use some sort of ajax background uploader in conjunction with flash ... not sure exactly if this is possible.
I have a flash site (finally) but I need to host it through dreamweaver. I cant do it. I tried loading it thru the media option and it gave me an error. I have a lot riding on this site and Im at the last step only to find some new obstacle in my way.

I'm working with Air and in Flash CS5. I've got AIR saving a string in a variable to a file:
[Code]...
It works fine. I'd now like to upload the file just created to a server. I've been playing around with a var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference(); example. I was wondering if there was a way to automatically upload the file, or if a browse is always required? If not, I have previously used the following AS3 code to successfully send a string of data to a php file, and have php save the data as a file with whatever name is set in the php file.
[Code]....
i have a file uploader in AS3, and can successfully save a file using php. I'd like to also send variables along with the file, have php process the variables, and display them back in Flash.
In a separate project, I was able to get variables from flash-php-flash, but I can't work out how to do this while also uploading a file. I get a null reference error in the completeHandler function when flash tries to display the vars coming back from php.

It sounds like JavaScript doesn't have any file manipulation abilities, but what about Flash and Java applets?
This would need to work in IE6+, Firefox and Chrome. Update: forgot to mention that (a) we are using Grails and (b) this needs to run over https.

In the attached example, you can see that the variable hardcodedXML is defined with some fixed contents.In stead of this, I would like to find a way that I can read these contents from an XML file and put it in this variable.As I don't have that much experience, I'm completely lost.
