View 1 RepliesI am trying to allow a user to upload a file and then have this file displayed in Flash.Currently I have:
ActionScript Code:
import flash.net.FileReference;
var progressBar:MovieClip;
[code]....
As far as I know, what I ask here isn't possible, but I thought I'd ask anyway in case I'm missing something.
Suppose you want to let users upload JPG images, and these images are scaled into smaller icons and the original images are always discarded and never required again. Is there any way that would commonly work in most modern browsers that would let the user select a single image on their hard drive, have that LOCALLY turned into a thumbnail and upload the created thumbnail to a server?
In a case where the server just needs a small image, it would be wasteful both in user time and server resources to proceed uploading the whole image, only to immediately discard it. It would be much better to just scale it on the client.
I can imagine three options. Just plain HTML/Javascript, using Flash or using Java. If this were possible with Flash, that would seem like the best option. But reading flash.net.FileReference documentation, it seems that you can upload a file from the HD yes, but you cannot look inside the file you are uploading. On the other hand, if you enable "can access local files" in Flash publishing options, it seems that you can then no longer access the net, so that doesn't work.
With HTML/Javascript, it is possible to load images and display them on a <canvas>, but if you try to access the pixels of these images, you get security violations, so that doesn't seem to work.
Java I hesitate to use, because only 96.52% of my users have it installed, and the file upload dialogs I have seen implemented in Java (at Facebook for example) have not worked well (unresponsive interface). I wonder though if Java is the only thing allowing resizing images from local HD?
I'm using Agile Uploader in my project to resize image before upload on client side.And it works fine except one thing: if image name contains cyrillic letters it fails with server error 500.
How to avoid this or if needed how to rename file with english letters "on fly" (possibly with javascript).
How to upload an image to the server using php code in actionscript 2.0?
View 2 Replieshow exactly would i go about to upload an image to my server with AS3 and php and have the filename always be different so it doesn't overwrite another uploaded image.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to snap a bitmap image from within my application, and upload the bytes directly to my server to save as an image. I'm trying to same three separate images, three different sizes. I am able to do it twice, but as soon as it tries to save the third image, it throws a 2176 error...
ActionScript Code:
var url:String = 'myUploadURL';
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
request.contentType = 'multipart/form-data';
[Code]....
I've tried a 3rd party class which wraps the byteArray and sends the data. This too works the first two but not the third.
Is it because I start by calling a function on mouseClick, that snaps the first bitmap then uploads, then snaps the second and uploads, then snaps the third and by the time it tries to upload, Flash assumes the function is 'too far away' from the mouseClick, and doesn't think it comes from user interactivity?
I want to embed a flash to my site, that allows the user to paste an image which is in clipboard, and this images will then be uploaded to the server. Is there a script that can do that? i googled for about an hour now, but didn't find anything that fits my needs.
the best thing would be if you also coul crop your image when its uploaded and then save it.
it's most likely to upload screenshots, so that you don't have to first save it, crop it, and then upload it.
I'm using Flex 4.5 in a Mobile air for android application. So, Using the Camera/Camera roll [URL]I want to do a simple upload using amfphp Note: Since this is how you get pictures on devices, i cant use the filreference because it wants you to get the pictures using "browse" which cant be done on android or ios My plan is, after I select a picture or capture one with the camera, in the event I can get the local url to the picture that was taken like this:
[URL]
I'm putting this in the imageURL var (i'm assuming i should make it into a byte array to transfer it, im not exactly sure this is my first time making something like this)Here's how i'm taking that image, making it into a byte array, and using amfphp to send the upload to the server:
protected function upload_btn_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(imageURL);
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(request);
[code]....
But i'm getting an error NetConnection.Call.BadVersion.This is the first time im trying something like this so im not even really sure if im going about it right. All the examples I find online go about using the fileReference class, but that seems to require me to use the "browse" method, and im on a mobile application that uses the camera and camera roll to grab pictures off the device, and im not sure how to incorporate that into the fileref class. I figured i could just get the byte array and send it to php myself and it should be just fine.
I am unable to uploade the file "expressInstall.swf" generated by Flash CS4 AS2.0. DreamWeaver displays the following error message:

I am working on a mac but my question is what files do I need to export out of CS5 to include in my upload besides the index SWF and index html? Do I have to export each individual page? Each individual photo? each individual button, ect? Or is there a main folder I can export and up load to my server. Also for all the photos I have put into the project, do I need to upload them as a seperate folder, if so, is there a specific name I should label it so it registers?
View 1 RepliesBasically im building a flash based drum head designer for users to upload their own image, resize, add text etc, then it be uploaded to a web server when they complete the purchase.
I have all the server side part working, able to send a 2800px square image and compress it into a 1.5MBish jpg.
the problem im having is for the user to upload an image into flash. I've seen prototypes where it uploads the image to the server, then flash loads that image, then upoads the completed one, but this uses alot of transfers.
What I hoped to achieve is something similar to the system on the [URL] website where the image is stored in the cache first. I have spent hours looking for resources on importing user images into flash without uploading first.
Im working on a project where i need to create a webpage that the end user can upload an image (gif, jpg, png) that is then transformed and mapped to a perspective shape, then saved to the server, and linked in the mysql DB.Has anyone done something like this before?Id like to do this in flash, if possible, if not, I guess shockwave is the next optionbecause you cant distort flash movie clips to create a "perspective" im gonna need to use something like this:

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to record the audio from a users microphone, let them review it, then upload it to a server all from within an .swf in an .html page?
I have not come across this out on the web, so that is why I am "what if ing".
What I want to know is if it is possible to record a sound clip using a microphone and then upload it to the server using a swf applet in a webpage. Im an experienced java/javascript programmer but just starting out with flash/action script. What technologies will I need to do this? Can I do this simply using simply an swf file and an apache/php or jsp page?

View 5 RepliesI recently developed an Adobe AIR App, for uploading images to a Facebook User's Album,which worked well! But now, as I tryed to migrate the AIR App to an Flash App, which is supposed to do exactly the same, I am experiencing one problem:
Actually everything works fine: The App Initialization, The User Login & Permission (establishing a session), BUT: Once i make the call for uploading a BitmapData, I do NEVER get ANY response / the handler does never get called:
var values:Object = { message:'This photo was created by ProFileIzer', fileName:'filename', image:new BitmapData(50,50, false, 0xFF0000) }; Facebook.api('/me/photos', handleUploadCompleted, values, 'POST');
There is also a Flex sample provided, which I am not able to test, as I am using Flash. So if someone smart got any idea, or probably could test if the sample works..[URL]...
I am doing a simple project for school, and I had to develop a website off of a premade template, the URL is [URL].

When I click the small icons on the left, the larger picture is supposed to show up in the right picture frame.

I am using a PHP upload to upload files to server. I have a loop for the 5 files to upload....
ActionScript Code:

As the loop runs quicker than PHP can upload, the success of....
ActionScript Code:
function fileUploaded(e:DataEvent):void {

I now have a Windows PC and I purchase Adobe Flash Media Server 3.5 software and install.I but server space on a managed server arrangement.I upload my pre recorded Flash clips to the server and my website and playlist to my host. Basically the website is channelled via http and the clips via RTMP. The key question that no one inside Adobe seems to be able to grasp (or answer) is ~ will it work if I stream my own clips?! or is it inferior to say that of a professional streaming company.The streaming companies charge anything from $125 to $250 a month, a big cost for someone like me, streaming around 1000mb a month. So does anyone out there have direct knowledge of this software and can you stream via rented server space without using a streaming company?

View 1 RepliesI'm using Dreamweaver CS3. I'm new to Flash and It seems that every time I take 3 steps forward I have to take one back. I've inserted the .swf into the html page, where it resides inside a cell within a table. It plays there, and in Preview In Browser.I've uploaded the .html page to the server but the movie (and all the code relating to it) will not go along with the rest of the page contents. There is no trace of any movie coding anywhere on that .html page on the server.I have three other Flash movies on this site, all on different .html pages. All the elements of all the Flash movies are in their own folders, all of which reside in one single Flash folder. The other three movies play successfully on the server.
And on my computer, in Dreamweaver Code View, the correct path to the .swf file is present.But, only for that one movie, none of the Flash movie code will upload to the server. I'd like to supply a web address, but this forum does not allow the inclusion of URLs. To bad, it would certainly clarify the problem.
