Flex :: Download PDF From URL And Store In App Directory
Aug 29, 2009
I need to download a file for example say, a pdf file from a url and store it in applicationsDirectory or ApplicationStorage directory, I have a code to download but its opening save dialog box to get the userinput for where to save the downloaded file. This is the code that I am using
I am a complete beginner in Flash & Actionscript. My pet project is this: To provide a [URL] like service where people could upload single images and later anyone can view it using the generated url. So far I have gotten to upload an image using Flash and store it in a directory.
I've made an image gallery which loads images from an XML-specified folder. My function doGallery(urlPath); is using an URL-Path as an argument, which allows me to load new images and create a new gallery with these at runtime.The function will store loader objects in a gallery array, which is then cleared and overwritten once a new gallery with new images are made.So far so good. However it seems as if I have to re-download the same images as I have already once loaded, if I decide to go back to a previously visited gallery. I assume this is because I overwrite and clear the array which contains my previous loaders. Could anyone confirm this and possibly offer a solution? I hope I'm making myself clear enough for you to grasp my issue here.
When I have a class linked to a MovieClip in my library and that class takes an argument in its constructor method. That class will compile properly ONLY when it's located in my top-level directory (same dir as the .fla and Document.as files). If I move that class to a deeper directory, say com.place, and update the package statement and symbol link appropriately, the compiler will generate error "1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0."Create flash project and put a rectangle on the stage. Covert it to symbol and assign it to class TestPanel - or whatever you choose. Also configure the fla so that is uses a Document (Main) class.Create Main.as and TestPanel.as in the same folder. In the Main class, instantiate a instance of TestPanel and add it to the stage. Flash will, predictably, add the rectangle symbol and everything is fine.Now modify TestPanel so that its constructor method takes a Number and have Main.as pass some number to TestPanel.[code]You now get the error: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments.Expected 0.When I move the TestPanel.as into a deeper directory, Flash somehow is looking elsewhere for the base class for Symbol, even though I'm mapping that Symbol to com.place.TestPanel.
I am creating an AIR application using Flex. In it I use a file in application directory to store some data in it.Its working very well to read and write data to this file with various OS except windows 7. In windows 7 it is not working. May be its a permission problem.
How can i write file in the application directory with Windows 7 ?
I want to download files from the server side to client side without prompting a window to the user to download when any updates happen at server side.Right now I am using urlstream class but first file is downloading completely rest of the files contents downloading partially.

We are writing log files to File.applicationDirectory and want to clean out old log files. The question is how do you delete files out of that directory? When I try and delete old log files out of this directory it gives a security exception. Is there anyway around this? I know you are not supposed to write to File.applicationDirectory, but we are writting are logs there anyways.
I have trouble getting it to copy file from src to destination.
var asMsg_path:String = fileRef.nativePath; var origFileLoc:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(asMsg_path); var newFileLoc:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("/java/"+asMsg);
Is it possible to upload a complete folder with subdirectories and files (in the subdirectories) in Flex?
I am using a Flex / BlazeDS / Spring application. The question is not how to transfer the data to the server.The question is: if it is possible to get access to the files and subfolders (recursive) with Flex?
I am writing to an XML file which is placed in the src directory of my Flex project. But when I run my application, the changes I make to that XML file actually reflects in the copy of that XML file in my [code]Is there a way to reflect those changes to the actual xml file i.e. the one in the src directory?Server Side: PHP.PHP file is in the same src folder. Here is the related snippet of code:[code]
I have designed an AIR application that displays a list with all txt files located in C: directory. I have used following code:
var videoListsArr:ArrayList = new ArrayList(); var folder:File = new File(driveName+":\"); folder.getDirectoryListingAsync();
[Code].....
This function works fine but it is being executed the application is hang and become unresponsive. how to resolve this problem that it displays the list of txt file without making application unresponsive ?
I have a nicely working actionscript project in Flash Builder 4.5. However, I'd like to change the directory name that it sits in. Seems Flash Builder breaks if I manually change this directory name using the operating system. Is there a way to change this in Flash Builder so it doesn't get mad at me, or other workaround?
I am coming from flash to flashbuilder I have a directory, AS3_classes_dir, on my computer that stores all of my classes, including my greensock and papervision packages. In every flash app that I make I include that directory in the Source Path, so that I can import whatever I may need. Compiling in flash (using ctrl/enter) takes very little time; only the classes that are specifically imported are compiled.So today I did that in flashbuilder, included AS3_classes_dir via Flex Build Path/Source Path ... but now the compile time are a couple of minutes, even though I am not even importing ANY of the classes from within.
Using RecursiveDirectoryIterator of PHP i am able to create directory tree and can even flatten it using RecursiveIteratorIterator class , but I want to create directory tree structure which TREE component of flex understands . The following is an array structure in php which flex understands.
I followed the instructions in this tutorial to set up Zend AMF as a way of passing data from my flash app to my PHP app:So I have the directory structure and everything as described there. This is my gateway controller:
class Gateway extends CI_Controller { function __construct()
I am working on the multifile uploader, and want to set the upload directory based on a selected questionID (which is the directory name) in my datagrid. The code can be found here [URL] Something like this: I have set myQuestionID (the directory to upload to) so it is bindable (lines 136-137):
I am a Flex newbie and I'm developing a Flex application that needs to talk to an AMF server in order to authenticate the user.Where should I store the server URL? I don't want to hardcode it in the source code, but the URL should be fixed at compile time, because when I compile the app it should be tied to a specific server.
I have one xml link. that link have collections of images(apx 1000 images). when i flex applications start at the time load all images in locally. then when i need that images then use it. How i do this... give me some links and logic.
I am working on an StoryBoarding application,it is a slide based application in which the authors can put several components like image , sound , captions etc in each of the slide.A collection of slides will make a storyboard.This application will be deployed on a web server (sharepoint + IIS , and php+apache), and several users can collaborate with each other for authoring or reviewing the storyboard.In my application I also want to support auto save ,which will keep on storing the state of the storyboard.User can also save at any point of time by clicking the save button.I am confused about how to store the state of the storyboard.
1)Presently I am doing this by passing all the storyboard data to a dot net web-service and then that service is storing images,caption etc in their respective tables into a database .2)Another approach possible is to store the model of the application as a serialized object into the db , which will be more convenient since separating the components of the model (like images,captions etc..) will not be required and also restoring the state of the objects in the application will be easy . I have two doubts about using approach 2 :-i) I want the the saved storyboard to load quickly, for which I would like to support the partial so that lighter objects like caption can be loaded quickly but other heavier objects like image,video etc can be loaded on demand. Using approach 2 , do I have to send the whole data in one go or is there way to support partial loading ?
Parse XML to get name and value of tags in Flex.I am able to get the name and value pairs of the <id>,<width> etc XML tags.But I am not able to store them as a name-value pair in Array/ArrayCollection, i.e
id - "" width - 10 height - 10 name - Person1
I want to use them later in my application. How to do that ?
