Data Integration :: File Upload Using FileReference & PHP Not Working?
Mar 21, 2007
server, the swf is in the same domain as the images directory andthe PHP file. It's exactly as laid out in the Unleashed book: (see ). However, I get an HTTP 406 error whatever I do. I've checkedfile permissions. I suppose it is some sort of security problem butI can't see what. I tried the same thing on my local PC apacheserver and there I got an IO error can point me to more details onthe FileReference error handling
i have a flash 8 movie that upload jpegs to a server side script. When hosted on an NT server, with a php script that recieves the upload, the FileReference onComplete event gets called correctly when the an image has completely uploaded using FileReference.upload. This when movie is viewed in Flash Player 8, in IE and Firefox on Windows XP and on OSX.
When the same swf is uploaded to an Apache Tomcat/5.5.12 server, with a jsp script to recieve the upload, then the problems start. The upload works ok on both PC and OSX, except that the onComplete event of the FileReference object is never called on OSX. It is essential to trap the onComplete event for the site to continue with its functionality. (If the file takes long enough to upload (more than a few fractions of a second) the the onProgress event is called while its uploading on PC and OSX.)
I'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've been trying to build a simple flash uploader to upload files onto a server using the FileReference-class and simple PHP. Trying this on a localhost-server succeeded within two minutes, great!
However, now I am trying to do the same thing on the remote-server, but it keeps giving IO-errors. I have done the following: Put all permissions to 777, in the main folder and also the folder where the pictures are uploaded to Tried different remote servers
We use the FileReference component to upload file in Flex. But if the application is deployed within an environment having NTLM authentication (Windows Integrated Authentication), the upload capability will not work, and each time a message box will be popup asking the user to input credentials.I've queried some resource from internet and it seems this is a bug of FileReference component.
Can you use the FileReference.upload() function to upload files to Sharepoint or do I have to use the SP web services? This is without adding your own ASP.NET Web Services, just using the built in SP Web Services.
I am creating flash uploader and want to start 10 uploadings at time.But flash upload only 2 files on domain at time, other references wait for something.In IE with ActiveX Player limitation is about 6 files at time.Is there any ideas how to change this limitation? For uploading I need to use FileReference.upload without creating URLRequest object from file data.
I have an app that uploads pictures to the server. When I upgraded Firefox 3.6.6 FP to flash player 10.1 the uploaded stopped working. It still works perfect in other browsers. It works fine in Firefox 3.6.6 but different Flash player version. I did some debugging and noticed that it works fine when I run it in my development environment (Localhost). In the production server it returns I/o Exception but it doesnt make sense because it works for other players and also the file is there. I changed the permissions on the file to 777, the allowScriptAccess to always, tried to make the php path absolute also and no luck. The php file does not use sessions or cookies.
Okay, so I am calling my scripts from the folder "php/" Thus, my FileReference calls "php/upload.php" to upload. However, my uploads are in "uploads/" and not in "php/uploads". When the PHP script is called, it apparently ignores the caller (the SWF file) and looks for uploads in its own directory (the "php/" folder). It may be a PHP question, but how do I reference the uploads folder as being in the parent directory of the php files in my PHP script?
I took the original code from gotoandlearn, and all I addedwas some buttons to make this content change.that is, when I click on a button, the xml has to be replacedfor another one.t works except that instead of replacing the content, itADDs to the XML list, everytime I click on the buttons.I tried removing children but it doesn't work, cause itleaves no place to put the new content.
I will be creating a program to use for data entry. I'll be studying zebras in kenya and I won't have the internet there as I'm recording the data. I'd like to be able to send the data I generate in flash to an external text file. I understand I need some sort of script to do that, but is this something I can run just on my machine? (I'll probably make the data into xml format).
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.
this is my current cv, painstakenly written in flash: [URL] I was told that I can use an external data file and load this into a flash file with xml, i am trying to make an xml file that will do what you see here above. But i cannot get the information to load properly where each title is separate (bold) and the description underneath it (plain text). i cannot get my cv to show up in a linear format as it only shows the first entry and then stops.
Is it possible to pull questions from a data file into flash without having to create new frames for every question. This would be a multiple choice test. We currently hand type the questions into multiple frames and grade at the end.
I am seeing repeated comments on this discussion forum that it's not possible to save data from Flash into a locally stored XML file . . . but there must be a way to do this. Why is you can read data from a locally stored XML file but not update or add data to it. how absurd a design would that be, it simply wouldn't be logical!
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."
I am attempting to get data from an xml file load in flash. I followed a tutorial in a new fla and it seemed to work fine, I then tried to adapt it to my own needs which worked fine. But then when trying to implement this into my news section it doesn't seem to work. I am trying to make a news section, that displays the date and news article. This is in within a movie clip, I even tried putting it in the timeline of the scene but still nothing.
- I have 2 dynamic text boxes, date_txt and news_txt
- The xml file is named news.xml,
- both the fla and the xml are in the same folder
This is the actionscript I am using:
function loadXML(loaded) { if (loaded) { _root.thedate =
I have a Flash movie which is embeded in 'base.aspx' file, when a button is clicked in the flash movie another 'something.aspx' file need to be called.When I run the flash movie from the Adobe Flash Professional CS3 IDE , it (the flash movie) calls the 'something.aspx' file just as expected.However when I embed the flash movie in to the 'base.aspx' file it doesn't work as expected .
I have made a Flex+PHP based application in which there is a functionality to upload a picture to the server. The application uploads a picture fine if run on Windows. But on Ubuntu, file is not getting upload at all. Can it be permissions related issue? Here is the log maintained while uploading a file:
Uploading 5408_1243356204478_1246540615_30751024_3730562_n.jpg... File opened File upload in progress (349 of 31340) File upload in progress (349 of 31340) File upload in progress (31340 of 31340)
I have now ran into Flex Fileupload problem on ssl as many others have. I simply get an IOError, no other information as to what caused the error was given, ssl handshake or something else. How do I nail down the cause of the error? I tried using the ';jsessionid=' trick, still no luck. FYI, I am running on local https server, with self signed cert. Everthing works fine without ssl. With ssl, it only works on IE (FF, Chrome, Safari fails on https). With other browsers, server doesn't even get the request.
I have a problem loading remote XML file into SWF file. Im doing a banner for a client with adds that is supose to load constantly updated XML file from my clients server and load some images into flash form it. Everything works fine when i test the movie (CTRL+ENTER), but when i publish it and test it from explorer, XML file is just not loading into flash.
I have created my own file upload flash app that has been working great for me up until this point. It uses PHP to upload the files and sends back a status message which gets displayed in a status box to the user. Now I have run into a situation where I need the HTML to pass a parameter to the Actionscript, and then to the PHP file using POST. I have tried to set this up just like adobe has it on [URL] without success.
Here is my Actionscript code: import fl.controls.TextArea; //Set filters var imageTypes:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Images (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif, *.png)", "*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.png"); var textTypes:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Documents (*.txt, *.rtf, *.pdf, *.doc)", "*.txt; *.rtf; *.pdf; *.doc"); var allTypes:Array = new Array(textTypes, imageTypes); [Code] .....
The flashVars variable is the one that should contain the values from the HTML file. But whenever I run the program and output the variables in the PHP file I receive the following. //Using this command on the PHP page print_r($_POST); //I get this for output Array ( [Filename] => testfile.txt [Upload] => Submit Query ) Its almost like the parameters are getting over written or are just not working at all.
I got a FileRefrence instance for a simple upload and it did work for some time in the past, but now I just can't discover what made it stop woking. Can anyone help me find it out? To simplify, I took only the necessary code (not working as the full version). Here are some details:
1. I'm using Flash Player 9 (this can't change because it is a part of a bigger project). My current host machine is a Windows Vista one. The sandbox is set to network access.
2. The FileReference calls a simple php script hosted at an Apache server (Linux). The script permissions are set to 644 (it works for file uploads coming from plain html pages) and I set the folder permission to 777 just to avoid any other source of errors. Here is the simple code for the php script:
<?php// receiving variables$uid = trim($_POST['uid']); // just to check for a post variable that I must send while uploading (won't work even if I revome it) // a file to check if the script is really called $myfile = fopen("upload.txt", "wb");fputs($myfile, "file upload for uid $uid ");
[code]....
Just for checking I add a Loader instance and used its "load" method with the same "urlSend" variable. It worked and the php script generated the output file...
Is there anyway of upload a file in flex 3.5 without using fileReference? Or even with fileReference, but without browsing, for example, I'm trying to take a printscreen and send it to my java web server
I'm having an issue with a file uploader i'm working on. Certain files, it seems files over 7mb will not upload, nor give an error, it just silently freezes when it starts.
This is on a MediaTemple [dv] with the php.ini modified so that max_file_upload = 100M, same issue.
Here some ActionScript for yashortned a lil)
Code: var listener:Object = new Object(); listener.onSelect = function(selectedFile:FileReference):Void { browse_mc.filename_txt.text = selectedFile.name;
