Flash :: Download And Auto-run Software Trials Via It?
Jan 26, 2011
As a software developer, I offer free trial versions of my software for download. I can see from my stats that many that download the trials don't run them. My main target user is PC novices, so I think many of them doesn't realize they have to run the downloaded installer.
Would it be possible to write a small download client in Flash, that starts when the user clicks a download button, automatically downloads my .exe file and runs it when downloaded?

I am playing YouTube videos in my Flash movie and display a list of the video thumbs. I preload the thumbs at the start of my movie. However, the thumbs have issues loading when they need to in Firefox. Safari and IE are fine. It seems to be a problem with my code resizing them. Without resizing they are displayed just fine, but with resizing, the loading just seems to stop sometimes. Anyway, I was now thinking it would be much better if instead of preloading them, the movie would automatically download them from YouTube to my server at the start of my movie. Does anyone know how (if) this can be done?

I generate a HTML page with VB.Net which stores several pinks to files. These links are formatted with JavaScript looking like the Windows-Explorer with folders and files. The problem: There are only download links for the files, not for Folders. A folder can contain Subfolders ,a List of Files or a combination of both. So if I want to download a folder, I have to click manually on every file-link. I have not the possibility to insert PHP or another Server-side language. my question now is: Is there a client side way to Download them by click on a Folder? I prefer Javascript but If it isn't possible Flash will be ok also.

So I basically have used the fileReference class to allow the user to download a determined file if he wants to.
I use the file.download(URL) function and it works well.
However, the file is downloaded and saved to the hard drive using only the flash player. The browser is not aware of the download, and thus, if I want to show the progress of the download I'd have to make some progress bar myself. I know how to do it, but it would become really tedious and take too much UI space.
Isn't there a damn way in Flash to "send" a determined file to the browser so that it prompts the user to download it? It's an image file, so navigateToURL doesn't cut it since it will just display the image, both if I use a new tab or the current one.

I'm making an interactive film. At certain points within the film, the viewer has the ability to select from a few options that will direct them to an external video clip (they are flashback scenes). The main story pauses when the user selects a flashback scene and I'm clear on how to achieve this.
However, my issue is that once the flashback scene ends and the external video closes, I'm not sure how the main story will resume. Is it possible for it to auto-play (resume) in some way? My last resort would be to have the viewer select a play button - this is only because I do not want a break in the narrative and want to limit the amount of clicks the viewer has to make.

I want to make and burn some CD's that are composed mostly of Flash. They are interactive CD's and i want them to open and function on both PC and Mac simply by inserting them. The CD's are for younger children and i would want to try and not have the user track down and install Flash Player everytime.

this forum is labeled "there is no such thing as a stupid question in here", so... I want to download the Flash Player 7 SDK, but the Adobe website has discontinued it in favour of Flash Lite. So far as I know, it was freely downloadable (at least for non-commercial use) until 2007, but now it has disappeared entirely from the 'net.

I heard it's possible to force the browser for downloading mp3s directly on your comp if you zipped them up cuz the comp is trying to unzip them to the desktop. Is it true?.. It is the best way to download mp3s..?

I create a small animation with ActionScript (basically fadeIn/fadeOut at different interval of different images). When I view in FlashPlayer directly it work when I view in browsers (any) I need to "click" inside the application for the fadeIn to start.
In my application I use this : stage.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, launch);so I guessed it was caused because by defautl the application is not activated, my question is how can I make the animation start at loading without needing to click on it?

I created an intranet site for the company and it is on the server, so the staff can view it. My webpage consist of flash for the viewing of images. The problem is the client who can view my webpage has no flash installer or totally no flash installed on their computer. Actually I have a flash.exe or flash installer in my server. I want to happen is when they view my webpage there is a pop up message for the auto install of flash installer and once they click automatically the flash would be installed. I mean the location of installer in the server they can catch? Is it possible? how the client can have the installer through pop up or any way.

Basically I created a flash site and uploaded it onto the server provider the client chose using cute ftp. That's all fine but now they want to add a link enabling the viewer to download a PDF straight to their desktop. As I can't upload a PDF file to the Flash library, was wondering if anyone had any tips on creating this function?

This has been going on for quite sometime and I've just neverfound any solution. On sites with Flash it asks me to download theplayer. I have the player already, but I download it anyway. Thebox on the Flash site shows that yes, I do have Flash installednow. Then I go back to the site that uses Flash and I'm back to thestart - download Flash Player.I can't understand why if it's on my computer, why the sitekeeps asking me to download it again, yet it shows I do have it onmy computer.I started to use Macromedia Flash 8 Training from the Source,James English, and needed to play Flash in one of the tutorials. Itsent me to the download site. I downloaded, shows the Flashmovement in the sample box that if you have Flash you will see itin the box. I go back to the Flash site and once again - wants meto download Flash.So it's just a continuous circle with no end.
