Flash :: Library That Uses Ajax For File Uploading?
Jan 9, 2012
I'm trying to create a sleek and styled button that when clicked allows the user to select a file. When the file has been selected, an event should fire, allowing me to reconstruct the form. Also the file should be uploaded without reloading the page. Preferably events should also be fired for upload progress and completion.
Obviously neither pure HTML or JavaScript can do all this by themselves. I need to let Flash do the uploading. I've been searching around for a nice clean JavaScript library that implements Flash for file uploads and makes the aforementioned events available to the programmer. All I've managed to find are "all-or-nothing" type libraries that does everything for me, giving me little or no freedom. Often the upload interface is also static and in flash.
Are there are professional, clean JavaScript libraries out there that does what I'm after? To reiterate, I'm looking for a JavaScript library that uses Flash only to upload one or more files asynchronously and offer events to keep track of the upload.
In terms of HTTP request performance should I pick AJAX or Flash? To be more specific, I'm more into Flash than AJAX and I'm currently working on a wide scale web project. I wanted to try AJAX out for once and now it's getting too messy for me. Before it gets more complicated I thought may be I can run Flash on the background for HTTP Requests and use it with javascript. I couldn't find any benchmark on the Internet, but I think AJAX is faster than Flash. So what's your personal experience? Is there too much difference between Flash and AJAX?
I need to load contents of an external html document through AJAX. The problem is the external page has some Flash application embedded. Now I need to show this html with the embedded flash in my own webpage.
I have a major problem with File Uploading through PHP backend in mac OS it works fine in Windows OS but not in Mac. So how to resolve this problem? Is it Flash Side bug or PHP Side bug???
im currently having a proble with uploading an image with Flash I used filereference The deal is that i should save first the file to be uploaded in a variable then after all needed has been entered there will be a save button at the end how will i be able to save the file saved in my variable in the database
I have problems with facebook application based on flash which communicate with PHP using FBJS-bridge.When someone use the application for the first time, he/she is asked for various permissions. After that, flash contact PHP with ajax but request is never sent. When you refresh page, everything is working without any problems.If you remove the application on privacy settings, refresh the page and try again -same bug happens.If you allow application, refresh page, in other tab remove application and start application in previous tab - user is asked for permissions but everything is working after allowing application.This is FBJS code
function openPermissions(){ Facebook.showPermissionDialog(/*permissions string*/, permissionOnDone);[code]......
openPermissions is called to display permission dialog, and on allow flash function allow() is called. In flash, allow() calls JS function ajaxCall(), which should make ajax request. But, ajax.post never sends request. I know that for sure, because flash function parseAjax was never called and also debugging tools in browsers are not showing any ajax requests. URL and parameters are same as when it is working. No flash or JS errors are detected...
I have created the multiple file uploading functionality in flash by using the FileReference method. But i need to stop and skip the uploading file while upload is in progress when we click the respective stop and skip buttons. I have the progressbar in which the two buttons are placed
I have written a ac3 script to upload files to remote servers and it is working as expected with all the events.
From the server side script i am echoing some text according to the upload status and i want that status to be received in flash like response text in ajax.
Is it possible to receive response text from a server script after uploading a file.
Or it doesn't have to be a file upload yet i wanted to have the string echoed in the server side script as response text in flash.
If that is not possible like ajax or normal request and response then is there another ways of achieving that?
Here is the code which gets executed when upload is complete.
Im looking for a jquery or ajax file uploader, Im currently using the FancyUploader which worked great until Flash brought out their update making all flash progress bars absolete, now whenever I try to upload large files... it will fill the progress bar to 100% in a matter of seconds even though the actual upload finished minutes after. So im now looking for a new uploading script that DOESNT require flash but can still display the progress.
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?
/Flex code/ private const UPLOAD_URL:String = "http://myhosting/upload/upload.php"; private var cer:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Archivos Cer", "*.cer"); private var key:FileFilter = new FileFilter("Archivos Key", "*.key"); private var fileref:FileReference = new FileReference(); private var fileref2:FileReference = new FileReference();
i am uploading file from pc its working perfectly fine on safari,firefox,IE,chrome and selecthandlers and completehandlers are working perfectly but on MAC files was uploaded i did't get response so that i can hide the loader bar i think complete handler not working perfectly or any other reason .....

I am using the file reference tutorial to upload an image to the serverobviously it works great. but I want to make each file upload unique, so if I upload mypicture.jpg to the server, I want to change the name of the file to mypicture1039094.jpg (or something that is unique).part 2:I want to also capture that new random file (mypicture1039094.jpg) in a text field so I can send it to a php script.
In my child swf I am using the sound from library with "attachSound". I also use the play/pause button controls of this sound alongwith the other animation.Now when I load this into my main swf file with "loadMovie", It plays fine but no sound. I found that this is due to no sound linkage in my main file library.I want to share my child swf's library with main file's library.
After building a flash using one of the players provided by KoolMoves in the interface, I checked to make sure the sound played properly and it did. I checked to be sure it was still in the contents file and it was. I uploaded it to my website and all plays great but I have no sound. I've checked to make sure my sound is not muted and speakers connected and all other sound plays fine. The progress bar for the player does not show when it is clicked eiither, as if there is no sound file in the player.
how to calculate Remaining Time of a file to upload on a server using AS3 and Flash Player 10.I have designed a File Uploader and its workign fine and i am displaying the progressbar in it but now i want to know how to calculate the Remaining Time of a file to upload.i am trying to calculate it with ProgressEvent.bytesLoaded and bytesTotal, but its not working for me. the loading of bytes by flash always comes different.
i want to make a progress bar uploading, for a bitmap image that is in flash library ,using URLLoader and URLRequest.but ProgressEvent doesn't work true and it happends just when uploading is finished.i search and find that with apc_fetch in php we can find the total and current bytes uploaded in server.but the sample was in html and php and it needs a hidden type with an id in http form.but i don't know how do it in flash.
a simple example in http and php is : <form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="uploadImage" id="uploadImage"><p><label for="image">Upload image:</label><input type="hidden"
There is a WSDL which have one method which take byteArray & fileName(which i want to write) as a parameter to write a file in local system, the following is the code...
public void writeLocation(byte[] byteToWrite, String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException { StringBuffer fileLocation = new StringBuffer("D:\Products\Device");
[Code]....
but the flex 2 showing the error when i searched i found out in flex 2 there is no "data" property. so i am unable to create the selected object into byteArray..
I want to upload multiple files. For this I used FileReference and it works fine. I m able to upload the files properly.
When i upload a file i change its file name from "pic1.jpg" to something like "asdfwer.jpg"
Now i want to get this new name of a file - so for that i set cookie using setcookie() in php. But the problem is "Cookie is not being set" I dont get the reason for that.[code]...
I have a *.swf file and once i uploaded it in my ftp server to publish my flash website on the web. and when I go to my website no movie loaded in the flash player and once I check the FTP server where my web files are. My SWF file disappear. I complete the files needed to run the Flash website and its in my FTP server but only the SWF file disappear. My SWF file size is 12.2 mb, the 2 scripts needed in running the flash website are this expressInstall.swf, swfobject_modified.js. I am using Flash CS4 using AS 3.0 I'm really new to this software..
I made a dynamic text field inside of a movie clip. I then dragged the scroll bar component over, and it worked, yeah! But they Im uploading a .txt file dynamically through the .swf The text displays and is selectable but it does not scroll. The scroll bar is there but doesn't work.
I can successfully get variables back into AIR when communication just using variables, but get errors when trying to get vars back after a successful upload.Here is some non-upload code that works perfectly giving me vars back:
function login(event:Event):void { u_username = login_user.text; u_password = login_pass.text;
[code]....
When I use upload code, I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
Here's the upload function:
function testerFunction(event:Event):void { var URLrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.blah.net/uploader.php/"); URLrequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
[code]....
Everything except the var return works fine - the file is uploaded and saved no problem, and in the php the print "var1=upload successful"; code comes right after the code that saves the file to the server.
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
...when uploading a file, as that seems to be the main difference.
its got a bunch of .fla, .swf and .html files which i just have to edit with my information. pretty easy.I uploaded all the files to my server and everything works great.so ive been editing the .fla files, inserting my pictures and information then publishing the .swf files and putting them back on the server and everthing looks great.
* The problem is that after uploading my last .swf file my webpage stopped working... i can see the front page put it doesnt load and when i click on my links it doesnt go to them.When i open the .swf file i get this ERROR:
It looks like the .swf file is looking xml/menu.xml on the server but for some reason the path is all wrong and the path appears to be to my Mac and not the server.
