Flash Saves File On Windows - Not Linux - FileReference.save()
Aug 13, 2011
The code below compiles fine on the Flex 4 SDK on Fedora 15. Mouse-click opens the dialog box, I click okay, and a file is saved, but the file is empty. I run the same SWF file (that was compiled on the Linux machine) on a Windows machine, and the created file contains the expected data. I was thinking there was a permissions problem, but if that were so, why should Linux even let me save the file? It is going to slow things down immensely if I cannot code something and test it on the same machine...

I'm using Flex in Flash Player 10 on Windows, using FileReference to load a file into memory, as below.My issue is that when a file is locked by Windows, my FileReference is not giving me any feedback that the file is inaccessible--it simply never dispatches any events after my calling load().Does anyone have insight into how to tell that Flash Player is unable to open the file?
var fileReference:FileReference = new FileReference();
private function onClick():void {
fileReference = new FileReference();
fileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, onSelect);

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".

limiting or correcting the behaviour of FileReference.save isn't possible.Can anyone suggest an alternative (server is Apache/PHP) that matches all of my criteria from this post and avoids the pitfalls I discussed with Jacob?I'm saving an image from my AS3 app using FileReference.save(). This is the code, which works fine:[code]This opens up the save file dialog as expected. I'm using this rather than sending the byteData to PHP because I want the user to have a familiar dialog box that lets them set their own file name.
The problem comes when users have their operating system configured to display file extensions, like I do. This means that in the save dialog the file name contains the extension as seen in the image below, and so it is very easy for the user to delete that extension when they rename the file. Because the default file type for this box is 'All files', if the extension is deleted the file is saved with no type.I don't know of any way to force a file type on the save dialog (if there is one that would be my preferred route) so failing that can anyone suggest a safe way for me to do this that still allows the user to set the file name themselves using a standard dialog for their OS?I did try putting in a call to FileReference.browse() before the save() as shown in this tutorial, but that throws an error because you can only perform one FileReference call at a time.

will save a text file to a location I choose, containing the text I wrote in the text field. But it prompts me for the location. Is there a way to save the text just locally next to the swf without the prompt?

I'm trying to create a XML file in actionscript which will be saved out using FileReference and will then be loaded in later by another SWF.The problem I have is that I can't figure out how to have the actual CDATA tag in the saved XML file so that I can output html tags in the text.e.g.
var xml:XML = <data>
<text> <![CDATA[ This is some <b>bold</b> text ]]> </text>
</data>

I have a multiple file uploader similar to the Adobe demo.It gives me an "I/O Error #2038" when i try to upload files. It happens for all files, single or multiple, even ones that are a few KBs in size. Following the I/O Error i get a "HttpStatus 503".This problem occurs using any browser (Safari/FF) on Mac/Linux.On windows the uploads work just fine, regardless of the browser.
I am using Flash 9.0.115.0 everywhere."I/O Error #2038"

For the past while, my developer has been working with me on a small project to put together a live interactive whiteboard app, powered by Flash Media Interactive Server. Well, everything is finished & ready to go, but there seems to be a big problem:
The app was developed & tested on a windows machine, while my server and all my website files (to integrate with) is on a Linux system.
It's been a month since this problem arrose, and there had not been any further progress with this project for the time. My developer doesn't seem to know much about how the 'conversion process' works, if there is one.
Do you know if this is possible (to convert a windows-programmed app to work on a linux system)? If so, do you know roughly how it should be handled?

I'm using the JPGEncoder and PHP to export a JPG of a movieclip instance out of my flash movie. Basically the end user hits a "save" button and they should get prompted to save to desktop.
Currently my code is prompting the end user to save my PHP file and not the JPG of the movieclip. Here's my AS3 code
ActionScript Code:
import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder;
var serverPath:String = "";
function createJPG(m:MovieClip, q:Number, fileName:String)

In order to play videos (Flash Format) on the website I use JW Player on my pages. But I seem to have some problems with it. On certain Firefox browsers when clicking on the player it chooses to download the file instead of playing it in the browser. On the same computer I tried it on Internet Explorer and there my webplayer is showing badly, it stands in the top left corner (whereas it should be in the middle of the page) and flickers a bit.
Because everything is in development the webpage is only available through our servers. In other words, I can't provide you any link with details. So my question is, why do some browsers download the video instead of playing it? And is there a possible free alternative to JW Player to play flash videos?

Is there any way to set the filetype you want to save to with the FileReference class? I'm creating PNGs for users to save to their hard drive, but I don't really want them to have to specify an extension. If they don't, the images are just saved as generic files, which is a bit crappy.
