Flash :: Flex 3 + Player 10 - Losing Extension When Use FileReference Download
Dec 22, 2010
Possible Duplicate: losing extension when use FileReference download I'm having an issue that looks common when using the FileReference class in FP10 when saving a file. The whole thing works fine as long as I don't change the default filename. If I do, then I loose the extension of the file... which is annoying >_< I haven't found any "acceptable" workaround, but the posts I've seen are from a couple of months already. So I'm inquiring hoping that something's been done regarding this issue since then =)
I need user download JPEG file from my app, however, when user change the file name the saved file will be downloaded without extension.
For Example: I am using FileReference.download() and set the default filename as "demoPic.jpg" and user's windows system setting control file extension not being shown. So when the dialog opens a download window, only "demoPic" shown as the filename. If user saved file without changing filename, the saved file will be OK. But if user change file name, the download file will be saved without extension. is it possible to add file extension to filename when user forget it by flex code?
i've got a pic gallery from kirupa which i modified a bit.I've added a download button with filereference. The thing is everthing works when the download button is pressed.But if somebody wants to download a picture and wants to change the name the file isn't recognised because the extension is lost.Flash doesnt read after the dot (example .jpg). If you dont change the name of the file which you save it keeps its extension. here's my code for the download and the link
I need to allow a user to download images from my app, but everytime a user attempts to download, the extension is stripped from the filename I provide.This is only happening in Firefox & IE on Windows. It's working just fine on OSX.
I'm using FileReference.download(), and specifying the filename as "imageX.jpg". However, when the file dialog opens on Windows to save the document, only "imageX" is shown as the filename, and the extension is never saved. In the "Save As type..." field, there is only the "*.*" option available.
The majority of our users aren't technically savvy, so a lot of them don't realize that if they put a .jpg extension on the file they just downloaded, they'll be able to view the image.
I'm trying to get my flash movie to allow the user to download a file of a specific extension, at the moment i use:
[Code]....
Two problems:
a) If the user changes the file name in the browser before clicking save (and doesn't re-add the .xml extension) then the file is saved without an extension
b) Randomly, tested on two windows xp systems both in IE one included the extension in the filename on the browser download window and one didn't (which doesn't make it clear to the user they have to include the extension as part of the name) but both saved to the correct xml extension file
a) If there is a work around so I can specify the exact file type, in the adobe reference manual it states you can parse in extra parameters to server with the file location to download. How would i do this?
b) If can't do a, how can I get it to always display the extension in the browser download window (unlike in problem b )
I'm using FileReference to retrieve an exported CSV file from the server. The fileReference.download(url, "myFilename.csv") method call seems to be working and I can download the file.
The only problem with this is that I can't seem to be able to set the file filter. In my save dialog, the file type filter is always *.*, which is really bad. The user trying to save the file has to manually type in the .csv extension. How do I change the filter of the dialog box to only show *.csv and not
I use fileReference.download() to download files. The fileReference send request to java servlet.In servlet, some error may be checked. For example error - 'File not found'. I want to send the error to flex side. I tried lots of methods,but fileReference in flex can't receive them.Such asresponse.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_NOT_FOUND, "File not found");r PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter(); out.print("File not found");It seems fileReference can't triggers event 'DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA' and'HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS'.
I'm using Filereference.save() to save a XML file. It's working fine with default filename.But is there a way to force a file extension on the saved file? I'm using "untitled.xml" as the default filename, but if the user changes it to say "myfile", it gets saved as "myfile", rather than "myfile.xml".
I am trying to retrieve the ByteArray from a file selected using the FileReference class so that I can pass this to a Web Service call that I am making to Sharepoint.Is there any way I can do this using Flash Player 9 without having to upload to a remote server first and then downloading the file to extract the ByteArray?
This is assuming you can't use Adobe Flash Player 10 and the data property from the FileReference class.
Is there anyway to download a file with the URLLoader and then save it to the disk without using filereference or anything that uses a dialog? This is what I have but isn't working:
I have a mp3 that is retrieved from the server via "somepage.php?id=100". When I load this into spark VideoPlayer it doesn't work. But when I copy that URL and put it into the browser URL I get a dialog that asks if I want to download "sound.mp3".
UPDATE!!! // in the creation complete handler var audioElement:AudioElement = new AudioElement(); audioElement.resource = new URLResource(path);
[Code]....
It seems the audio is cued up in order when added to the creation complete meaning that if one audio file is loading another will not start until after the first has completed.
Is there a way to set a default extension when saving an image using FileReference save method?
Code: var fileReference:FileReference = new FileReference(); fileReference.save( pngData, "image.png" );
If windows is set to "hide known file extensions", only image without extension will be displayed in save dialog. File type is "*.*". Some of my users hat the great idea to add .jpg extension in filename, because they couldn't see one. So file was saved broken as image.jpg.
Can I develop a Flash AS3 download swf that will let a user select a location on their hard drive to download files to and then start the download of multiple files (in the same way I can do with upload)? Or should I zip all the multiple files first and download zipped files to local disk. My users will want to download potentially hundreds of images from a server to local disk so I dont want them to have to click save for each one. Will AS3 let me pass an array of filenames and store the location that the user originally chooses? I ask because this sounds like it would have been not allowed for security reasons.
I can only find how to download the actual PLAYER for 10.1, but which library is used in conjunction with it?Will the latest release of the Flex SDK have the libraries for the multi-touch events etc?Or is the SDK for 10.1 only available to people who work for Adobe? will porting to iPhone supported formats only be available in Flash Professional, or will SDK users also have that option?
I have a flash app that uses the FileReference download method to serve up download links. Many of the links come from big content delviry networks and a crossdomain policy file is required to avoid a security error. This all works fine. Except for redirects in IE... in FF redirects work.
A typical Charles log in FF looks like this....
Code: 1) 302: download file temporarily moved 2) 302: download file found 3) 200: download file received OK
[Code].....
....the request for the crossdomain policy file is not being made in IE & thus flash blocks access to the download (client closed connection). The flash throws the traditional 2048 security error - which is what I'd expect if no crossdomain is available. It's worth noting that downloads without a redirect work fine in IE, the crossdomain is requested & received.
As far as I can make out there is no way to force "checkPolicyFile" with FileReference - it doesn't take a LoaderContext object. I'm at a loss of what I can do to resolve this without putting a proxy on our webserver (the backend guru will not allow this as the downloads can be quite large & he thinks will end up being a huge bottleneck).
I'm using the FileReference to download a file (using a relative path). If I test it on the .swf on the browser it works. If I compile a .exe projector the download doesn't works.
I am using this code to download a file from a server (podcast episode mp3) but I click the submit button and nothing happens. The text field shows "Downloading episode X" but nothing happens, no browse-to-save window pops up or anything. Here is my entire code, no external.It simply uses AMFPHP to drawback results to see if the podcast episode exists. If it returns a 1, the fileReference download is triggered. I'm pretty sure the rest of the code is fine, its just the "localRef.download(requestF);" bit that seems to be doing nothing.[Code].....
I've built an audio player that is fed via an xml file. Users can use a 'previous' or 'next' button to select which track to listen to and then play it and this is all fine and works as it should. The problem I have is with the file reference class. I want users to be able to have the option of downloading the track. I can get this function to work once but once you download a track, choose another, then click the download button again I get the error message below:
I can't figure out how to make a button cancel downloads started using FileReference.Below is the code that is used to start the download. If you could let me know the right code to put in the on(release)
import flash.net.FileReference; var listener:Object = new Object(); listener.onCancel = function(file:FileReference):Void {
However, it doesn't work. It works when I put the full absolute address, instead of simply "images/img1.jpg" . Is there any way to use a relative address?!?!? Probably attach the relative address to the URL property?
I am trying to use fileReference.download to allow users to download content from my site. The problem is, when I test it in Flash, it works flawlessly. When I publish it and upload it to my server it doesn't download. It'll bring up the download box... but it wont initiate the download. What I am doing is dynamically creating text boxes using the amount of XML nodes in my xml file. It will then assign the proper download file to that text box/download button. its just not initiating the download in my browser.
I've been searching through code FOREVER and can't find anything helpful or functional yet. Right now I have a page that downloads a file to the user's computer when you click a button. But, I want to create a loader so that the user can follow the progress of their download as well as a way to go to the next frame on the main timeline when the download is complete.
how to best handle the issue of not having enough permission inside of a Google Chrome Extension. I am interacting with the YouTube API, but I am not using swfobject.js, just using am embdeeded div. I do not believe this is introducing my security issue, but perhaps it is. In development, I had to navigate to Adobe's flash player security page and designate my development folder as a 'safe' location. In deployment, I do not have the ability to do this. I do not want my users to have to click 'Allow All' on flash player security, but I do not see another way to achieve my results.Seems to be a duplicate of SWFobject in a Chrome Extension - API Unavaiable but remains unanswered.Source: https:[url].....
To run: Pull from the repo, load up Chrome, click the wrench, go to extension, check 'Developer Tools' -> Load Unpacked Extension and browse to the folder.
My aim is to access the FileReference class Flash Player 10 properties,methods and Events using CS3 instead of CS4.For load() ,save() methods needs runtime version of Flash Player 10.I need to include the flash player 10 in CS3 publish settings Version.Otherwise you can suggest how i can able to access the FileReference class new properties and methods without CS4.
I'm trying to load a local file using FileReference load(). It will load small files just fine, but when I try to load a file of around 4-80 megabytes the flash player will crash. I read the load method officially supports up to 100 megabytes.
Here is the exact class I'm using to test: ActionScript Code: import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.IOErrorEvent; import flash.events.ProgressEvent; import flash.net.FileReference; import flash.net.FileFilter [Code] .....
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."
