IDE :: Flash Pro 8 - Local File For Variable Storage?
Mar 28, 2009
Presently I'm building an interactive CD-ROM based presentation for stand alone individual machines. I'm using AutoPlay Media Studio 7 to package a flash movie along with a licensed adobe reader and adobe flash player. One of the buttons on the autoplay package will install and create folders and files on a local machine.
I've uploaded a file for you flash gurus out there to look at, it may help to examplify what I'm trying to achieve. What I'd like to do, is to be able to use a file (perhaps XML?) that the flash movie can reference and make changes to. If this is possible then such file would be included in the AutoPlay package (see background info above) and installed on the local machine.Security is an extremely low key issue here and the username password is simply a means for flash to lookup and recognise an existing user (if there is one) and set the states of some variables.
Why? - The project is like an interactive training manual with questions and animated examples split into 8 modules. I would like to be able to provide users a means with the of not having to review previous modules by logging in at the login frame.
Code:
Assigned to 'signInUser' button
on (release) {
if (user_name == storedUserName) {
if (pass_word == storedPassword) {
[code].....

How would one go about caching / managing many large files (videos) on a user's computer via browser mechanisms (plugins are acceptable solutions). From what I can tell, local storage is about database type data, not files.

I would like to add local storage to an existing Flash webapp that up until now uses a web server to store data (database and media files). What are my options? I'd like to reuse the code of the Flash webapp and run it inside a browser if possible (which, if I'm not mistaken, is not possible with Adobe AIR).

i am hoping that someone can put me right on this question (apologies if this the wrong forum too)...i have an .ipa file that uses xml for it's content. i can load the xml/images etc... fine from both a url and also locally on the handset.but what i wanting/trying to do is for the .ipa to check to see if there is an updated xml doc/images from the url - if there is then it downloads/saves the xml doc and any associated images to a local folder/location - if there isn't (or the handset can not access the internet) it simply loads up the xml and images locally.i have seen a few methods of doing this - but am not sure how it all ties together with flash?

There is a small feature I have implemented that makes uses of the Local Shared Objects to work properly.
I wish to be able to help the user self-diagnose if he is unable to use the said feature because he refused access for this computer to writing local shared objects and give him instructions to work around the issue if it applies to him.
I'm looking for something similar to the muted property of the Microphone class [URL] or the Camera class.

I'm looking for javascript libraries and code that can simulate localStorage on browsers that do not have native support.Basically, I'd like to code my site using localStorage to store data and know that it will still work on browsers that don't natively support it. This would mean a library would detect if window.localStorage exists and use it if it does. If it doesn't exist, then it would create some sort of fallback method of local storage, by creating its own implementation in the window.localStorage namespace.I understand that Flash and Silverlight can be used for local storage as well, but haven't found anything on using them as a fallback for standard HTML5 localStorage. Perhaps Google Gears has this capability too?Please share any related libraries, resources, or code snippets that you've found! I'd be especially interested in pure javascript or jquery-based solutions, but am guessing that is unlikely.

Is it possible to set the local storage limit for shared objects using action script rather than the Flash Player context menu?

I have an actionscript app which needs to use SharedObjects. I see how if the user doesn't allow the Flash Player to access local storage, the security settings panel automatically pops up and asks for user input.
My problem is that my app runs with a 1x1 pixel stage, because it doesn't display anything. So the user will never see that panel and the program will seem to hang.
What I want to do is to somehow detect that the user doesn't allow the Player to access local storage so that I can open a new window large enough to display that panel.
The only way I've been able to detect this so far is to try to call SharedObject.flush() and check the return value, but that displays the settings panel.

I'm doing a small webapp where I want to use a fairly small amount of Local Storage for SharedObjects.The challenge is to cater to all visitors, including those that might have turned down their local storage allowance to 0 bytes (inactivated).Now, what happens is that the first flush method call triggers the local storage dialog box.In the case that the user has inactivated local storage, I don't want to ask them to raise it - instead I want to avoid using SharedObjects for the remainder of the session.I haven't found a way to test for the capacity of the local storage. What I can find is the size property of the SharedObject class. This doesn't work however as it only reports a size greater than 0 if there has already been an object written to this application domain.

I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;

I have two scripts in a View, one script is inside a Component. In the Component script I need to add numbers from data as they are added to a list and then display the total in a label placed in the View.If I declare the variable in the first script, the Component script can't see it and if I declare it in the Component Script the label can't see it.How will I declare it so that everyone in the view can see it?Here is the code, the problem is where should I place the var MyTotal so it can be used anywhere in the view:
<s:view
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
//if I place it here the next CDATA inside IconItemRender can't see it.
private static var MyTotal:Number=0;

how you would target a function's local variable through a concatenated variable string.For example:
var txt = "Hello World";
function testing(msg) {
var test1 = msg;[code].........
I'd expect the trace to be "Hello World" but rather is given "undefined". So if variables created outside functions are created on the main timeline, where are local function variables created and how would you access them?

I have a LoadVars object called loadText in which an external variable is loaded from a text file. Now, the whole thing works, I just want to create a template to optimize the system, so here is what I need: The external variable (in an external text file) is called page1. I am assigning that external variable to a local variable (at this point the external text has already been loaded in loadText, of course):

I have a HTML box and load a local html file from the project. In this HTML file I use jquery and I want to load an image from my user directory. I see the image from my user directory but jquery doesn't works. I get this error:

But if I load an image from the app workspace, everything works fine (I see the image and Jquery works). Is this a policy problem? The error says that is a "null object reference" problem, but this can't be true...

I am using FDT for Flex development and when I compile, and it tries to access a flv file, I get the error "cannot access local file". This is obviously a security sandbox thing.Now I tried adding crossdomain.xml to the root and it still makes the same error. I know somehow I need to add to my project use-network=false, but i cant for the life of me work out where the flex compiler additional arguments area is. I know in eclipse how to do it, but with the slightly modified FDT, i havent got a clue

I thought that you could load a file into flash using FileReference. But as far as I understand you have to upload the file to a server and then download it from the server into your flash app to access it?It seems a bit like going passed the river for water (bad translation of swedish expression).

I have a Flash project that plays FLVs from (http://) sources and it works fine when I publish it as AIR 2. I want to save and access my FLVs locally, but I can't seem to get it to work. I don't know if it is a matter of the correct path syntax, I'm also not sure what an Air app sees as a relative path. This is what it looks like for http:
stream.play("[URL]")
How do I make this local?

A few years ago I was up-skilling form AS2 to AS3. In the process I could have sworn I came across a resource that was all about using SQL and Flash AS3 together. It looked like native AS3 SQL communication.I remember thinking "That's cool, will use that one day" and then putting the book down. Well it is now one day and I need to remotely read and update data from a Flash file. The thing is I can't for the life of me remember where I saw it.Searching online has been a bit discouraging. All I can find is a lot of people saying there is no native Flash AS to SQL communication. Was I dreaming, or are all the posts I'm finding old and referring to AS2?If this is the case, is there a way to save shared objects or XML files to a remote server? Or is my only option calling php files from Flash?

xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("../xml/xmlData.xml"));
But I'm getting this security sandbox violation:

I don't get this error when I embed the XML file directly with the EMBED metadata tag.

Is there any hook to react to a user drag and dropping a text file onto a browser? If the user drops a text file onto the browser with my page loaded, I'd like to be able to open the contents of the text file using javascript. I don't think this is possible, but just checking.
Is something like this possible in flash?
As an alternate, the user could specify a file path for me, then I could open the text file and read it. Seems like this is a security risk and probably won't be allowed, but just checking. It looks like this is possible with flash 10?
