Actionscript 3 :: FileReferenceList Forcing Browse Dialog Box To Stay On Top
Jun 28, 2010
I am using the following simple code:[code]A big flash button triggers this code, which works perfectly fine. Unfortunately, I don't enforce that the button cannot be clicked while the dialog box to browse file is opened, so I get "Error: Error #2041: Only one file browsing session may be performed at a time." if I click on the button while the pop up dialog box is up.A solution that I really like is the one that Google Docs has. It does not let you click on their button, above "Select files to upload" while the pop up dialog box is showed. Actually, this dialog box has a sort of priority: You can't click ANYWHERE on the page before you select files or cancel on this dialog box.I would like to have the same behavior, not let the users click anywhere in my web page until this dialog box is done, just like Google Docs does it, but I can't seem to find how.

I know very little about Flash so I apologize in advance for asking what is possibly a dumb question, although I did a fair bit of research before posting. Our current Flash app, written in AS3.0, is able to display a standard OS browse dialog for the purpose of allowing a user to select files. We are using [URL] to display this dialog.
The documentation for FileReferenceList states that only files could be selected. The new requirement is to allow the user to select directories as well as files. Afterward it would be very nice, but not required, to be able to get a recursive list of all the files in the selected directory. Is it possible to implement this in Flash running inside a browser? The closest I've seen so far is [URL] which does what I want but it only seems to work inside Adobe AIR and is not exposed to the browser.

We have noticed a possible bug in the Flash Player within Mac's latest OS version Snow Leopard.
When a Browse for file dialog is initiated, upon returning to the browser. It's as if there is a layer above the flash app which stops interaction with the mouse. MouseOver events no longer take place and a click is require to remove this layer. If you move your mouse at all after the click this invisible layer returns limiting interaction.
We have tested this with 2 macs running snow leopard and the latest Flash Player. And also verified it is not an issue on Mac OSX previous to Snow Leopard.
It seems to effect only FF and Safari. Opera functions correctly.. Here is a video we created documenting the problem: [URL]
We have not had any customers complain about this yet. But if it's infact a bug, it's just a matter of time.

I would like to know how you can preview different images from a FileReferenceList Normally with file reference you can do the following:
img.source = fileReference.data;I want to do this with more than one image and with using filereferencelist, I do the following:
var fileReference:FileReference;
var fileReferenceList:FileReferenceList = FileReferenceList(event.target);
var fileList:Array = fileReferenceList.fileList

Is it possible to manually add an array of files to a FileReferenceList to upload/download? Rather than selecting from browser()? I need to download a number of images from my server, run some scripts with switchboard, then upload them back to the server, all automated.Is this possible using FileReferenceList or would I need to build some sort of ftp app with sockets?

I'm working on an web app that requires a multiple file uploader and I've hit a dead end. I'm using FileReferenceList for selecting the files to be uploaded, but there seems to be a bug in the Chrome Flash Player plugin, when selecting lots of files at once.The uploader must allow up to 300 files to be uploaded, but when selecting more than 232, the FileReferenceList triggers Event.CANCEL instead of Event.SELECT.I've found a bug report for this exact problem here:[url]......

FileReferenceList does not dispatch Select event twice every 3 times
When i select multiple uploads, it just does nothing, when i select again, it may begin to upload, here is my ugly code below.
ActionScript Code:
package com.kilonsele.profile{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.*;
[Code].....
I also noticed that if i select say 10 files, flash attempts to upload the files simultaneously. how do i make flash complete one upload before STARTING another.

Simulating Validators, how do I programmatically invalidate a TextInput because it doesn't match some external criteria? (even though it passes regexp/other internal validator tests).e.g. on lost focus, point out to the user that "confirm email" doesn't match "email" (even though both are valid email addresses). I've got a regex validator on a cell phone TextInput field that ensures the user enters with the international prefix e.g. 0044 for the UK Then I have a confirm_mobile field but I want to check the mobile TextInput against confirm_mobile TextInput.
The input on confirm_mobile could always be a valid phone number and pass the regexp test but I need to ensure field 2 == field 1 and if not then invalidate field 2 (or at least simulate the Validator behavior) to tell the user the fields don't match. I can catch this at the end via a trigger on the form submit button but still need to know how to throw a red box round "confirm_mobile" using a validator.
Code: Select allprivate function check_mobile2(evt :FocusEvent)
{
if (strings_match(confirm_mobile.text , mobile.text))
{

I am having the (apparently common) problem, where my flash file won't update its XML source when I make changes. I've research this, and learned that I need to add a unique reference to the loader, to "fool" the browser into reloading the XML each time.
However, I'm not sure exactly where to put the unique variable. Here's my XML loading code.

Currently I have a for loop which goes through and draws a really long list of objects. Each object is contained in its own sprite and as it draws them I wanted to have a text box saying "Ojects" + nObjectsTotalLoaded + " of " + nObjectsTotal + " have been Loaded." Right now I am timing out because my loops takes so long, but i figured that if I have a textbox updating as it creates each object that it will also fix my problem with timeout.

In flex when I allow user to download a file using :
dwFile = new FileReference();
dwFile.download(downloadURL, dwFileName);
Is there a way to ensure that the downloaded file always ends up with the extension .tar or any other extension for that matter? By default I give it a name like xyz.tar, but as of now the user can tamper with filename, including its extension. Can I prevent him from doing so?

I'm writing some actionscript to provide a flash frontend to an MS Excel spreadsheet. The idea is that the user will be able to press buttons in a flash application, and that will enter data into the spreadsheet (which will be read and written as XML).
The XML of an MS Excel document looks like this:
Code:
<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"

Through researching, i've discovered that the problem with using getDefinitionByName is that the compiler believes that my classes aren't being used, unless they're explicitly referenced in the code, and thus isn't compiling them into the swf.I'm having no luck finding an amicable solution to this problem though. So far the only thing that i've found which works, is explicitly mentioning the name of the class, somewhere in my code. This creates huge problems as it forces me to manually edit an additional part of the code. And really, harcoding anything is horribly sloppy.this isn't an acceptable solution as i'm designing a game with potentially hundreds of weapons, and two classes for each one. I need some way to automate this, and force them to compile.

I'm dealing with an inline hyperlink in a textarea filled with htmlText. I'm getting incredibly vexxed by this problem with having to click the link twice.I have learned here that this is because the first time a link is clicked, the text area receives focus. Then links become activated. The workaround for this, according to the article, is:
solve this by setting mouseOver = textFieldID.setFocus();
I really wish he'd set this in context, because no variant I've tried works.
Code:
mouseOver=showText.setFocus();
and
Code:
showSlice.mouseOver=showText.setFocus();
cause the link not to work at all. showSlice is the movie clip containing the textfield, which is called showText.This isn't as bad, but you still have to click the link twice (because I don't think this is doing anything at all):
Code:
showSlice.onRollOver=function() {
showText.setFocus();
};
It's a dynamically created textfield, and I am using AS2 in Flash 8. Code in full for this textarea is here:
Code:
var showText:TextField=showSlice.createTextField(instanceName="showText", castMems, castX, castDrop, castWidth, 100);
showText.embedFonts=true;
showText.multiline=true;
showText.setStyle("backgroundColor", "transparent");

I have an .swf navigation carousel that is 650 pixels high, the bottom 200 pixels being reserved for the reflection of the carousel. The reflection is very subtle and is not considered important information, so we would like to remove vertical scrollbars when the window is high enough to fit the topmost 450 pixels, but not the reflection.
I tried to accomplish this by setting a margin-bottom: -200px to the flash <object> but this only made the container's height shrink 200 pixels, causing the background pattern to cut before the bottom of the page.the Flash itself is still taking up 650 pixels.
Is there some "proper" fix to this, other than hiding/showing the scrollbars actively using javascript?

I have an flash swf on a page loaded with object/embed tags.
<object width="565" height="300" >
<param name="movie" value="/swf/Sample-Elf.swf">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="/swf/Sample-Elf.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" width="565" height="300"></embed>
</object>
I need to be able to start/stop or reload this swf with purely javascript as I don't have access to the source swf file to add any actionscript.I figured the easiest way to pull this off is by removing the element and replacing it forcing a redraw with would hince reload the swf movie. Though ie seams to cache the flash element and pretty much look over any updates I make to the embed/object tags and keeps right on going.So how do I force IE to redraw/update a flash element on a page?
