Read A Local Text File Using Flash Or Javascript?
Feb 23, 2010
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?

I think it can only access the network but not local file system, but from internet some people said it can in the newest version, can anybody confirm? It can reach arbitrarily file or just a specific location?

So I've tried to build a small utility to view the contents of a JSON file in an easy-to-understand manner (for non-tech people).I have Googled far and wide, high and low, but every example that shows how to consume a JSON file in Flash Builder uses the HTTP service, pointing to a file on the web.Here I am, sitting in front of my MacBook, wondering why I can't make this work. In the documentation I've found (sort of relating to this issue), they always show Windows examples, and they seem to work fine:That doesn't work. I've tried some "resolve to path" syntax, but the HTTP service does not seem to allow for anything but file paths in quotes.

I'm exploring the feasibility of reading data from a local Excel file in a Flash application.
XLSX READER [URL], it's possible to read Excel 2007 files.
It works beautifully.
However, that function doesn't read Excel 97-2003 files.
I found this:
[URL]
Which should read Excel files in Flex, but I'm working on a Flash application, and it looks like as3xls relies on a number of Flex only functions and types (ArrayCollection, NumberFormatter, etc.)
Since I'm not familiar with Flex, I'm having a difficult time making the adjustments myself.
Has anyone built a Flash app that reads Excel 97-2003 files, and is willing to share tips or code?

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:
[Code]...
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...

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.

While trying to develop some Android app I ran into the following problem:I load an swf file to a WebView, that makes js calls. I want to catch those js calls, so I useWebViews.addJavascriptInterface() to do so.Everything worked just fine when i loaded the swf file from a remote server, but when I load the same swf file form the Android file system, the javascript methods seem not to run (at least I cannot see them).

A friend of mine has a Flash Action script running on a LAMP server that currently reads an xml config file. He's asked me if it's possible to remove the xml file, and replace it somehow with a system (lets call it an 'auto xml generator') that intercepts the request to read that file and generates an output, so it appears to all intents and purposes as if the file still exists and contains the contents that has actually been returned from our auto xml generator'

We have a flash video that was created for our project, we dont the source so we have to work around the compiled flash file. We are going to host the video on our domain and the video creates a sol cookie (flash cookie) file to store how far the user has proceeded though the video. So my plan is to access this cookie to see how far the user has progressed and then fire an event when they have finished the movie.
I have been googling for some help but haven't found to much. I have found out that its possible to do in javascript and I have found some .net sol file viewers but haven't seen any examples I can get my mind around.
I have watched the traffic that gets created with fiddler and every time the next button is clicked a new request is fired with the swt file that is being accessed. I would also be happy with tracking every time one of these swt files has been accessed as well.

Is it possible to read first party cookies from flash?It should be noted that we have complete access to javascript via the ExternalInterface class.So, now the question is - can we access first party cookie from javascript? Our javascript code will be loaded by a website which is not hosted by us. This makes the cookies created by that website - first party cookies. How can we access these "first" party cookies?

I have a flash site, where when a user clicks on a link the page does not reload but the content changes with flash(like any normal flash site). So for example if user click on products page, the product page content is displayed, and the url in the address bar also changes from "domainname/index.aspx" to "domainname/index.aspx#/products"
I need to get this url from the address bar, and if i use "window.location.href" it returns "domainname/index.aspx". Does anyone know whether it is possible to read the url from the address bar which is changed by the flash.

I am trying to read a simple text file. Nothing seems to happen. From the code below, I only see 'loading' and 'loaded' in my trace. I get the same results even when I change the file name to something that does not exist.
Note that I am compiling my code by using mxmlc from the command line as follows:
> mxmlc QuoteServer.as -use-network=false -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true
Code:
package

I am currently struggling with an error which is occurring on what should surely be the simplest of tasks. All I want to do is open a text file but I constantly get the following error: Error #2032: Stream Error
After searching the web for over an hour I just cannot find a solution to this problem. My conclusion is that I have a security issue and the error is occuring because I do not have permissions to access the file
The code is as follows:
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.*;
function dataChanged(event:Event):void

I'm making a yearbook for my school and I have A LOT of information to be shown on it (in case you were wondering, its a digital year book lol). Theres a certain page that has all the headshots of all the students, and when the picture is clicked, a new scene opens with the information on the student (along with fancy opening animations). Firstly, is that the easiest way to do it, or can i have an overlapping MC that appears over the pictures, fading out or blurring the background, then click an X to shrink and fade out and unblur the background...Secondly, is there a way to create a template thingo for this MC or scene so that it can automatically read data from an xml or text file and place it in the appropriate position for that name. For example-the text would look like this
"bob_bio"
pic:"C:~~obphoto.jpeg"
