Is it possible to create a flash file hosted on [URL] and embedded on [URL] that redirects to [URL]? If yes than how? And is it possible to create a flash file that starts a download automatic without user action? Im using Adobe flash professional CS5 and Actionscript 3.
View 1 RepliesI would like to do this, without the "readfile()" part:
header("Content-type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-length: ".filesize($file));
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename="".basename($file).""");
readfile("$file");
Basically I am trying to forward a download to another URL but at the same time I need to be able to set headers like "filename".
The readfile($file) function will not do it for me, because the the $file is not stored on the same server as the PHP script (not even the same datacenter) Is this even possible ? If not via PHP, maybe FLASH could do this ?
I want to try a trial of adobe flash but it will not let me even start downloading the software at all. It says redirect loop, i tried to dload on firefox and google chrome, internet explorer does not work on my comp. Also it told me to delete all my cookies from the list and i did but i get the same problem.

I understand that PlUpload supports several runtimes (html5, html4, gears, flash, etc). But most browsers now a days support flash. And most other file uploaders (namely: uploadify, fancy upload, to name afew) would function via a combination of javascript and flash. And the same file uploaders only support ONE runtime, which is flash. Even if the flash player plugin is not installed. A developer can easily integrate flash detection tools and redirect users to a download link. Which is most common for several sites.
View 1 RepliesI have a few buttons rigged up for downloading word.doc, mp3 etc
Problem is its opening the file rather than giving a download this file option.
We have a lot of crossdomain.xml files at my company. Every service that has Flash availability needs one. Keeping them in sync is annoying, so I'd like to be able to have just one crossdomain.xml file hosted somewhere, and then http redirect (302) all the requests to that central location. Is this possible? I can't find documentation anywhere on the web about the rules.
View 1 RepliesSo I basically have used the fileReference class to allow the user to download a determined file if he wants to.
I use the file.download(URL) function and it works well.
However, the file is downloaded and saved to the hard drive using only the flash player. The browser is not aware of the download, and thus, if I want to show the progress of the download I'd have to make some progress bar myself. I know how to do it, but it would become really tedious and take too much UI space.
Isn't there a damn way in Flash to "send" a determined file to the browser so that it prompts the user to download it? It's an image file, so navigateToURL doesn't cut it since it will just display the image, both if I use a new tab or the current one.
I'm trying to download a zip file through Flash via a php file using this code:
FLASH:
getURL("download.php?filename=TheFileName.zip");
PHP:
<?php
// download.php
[code]....
Trouble is when I run Flash, the dialog box for the download just picks up the php file and not the zip file.

View 6 RepliesBasically I created a flash site and uploaded it onto the server provider the client chose using cute ftp. That's all fine but now they want to add a link enabling the viewer to download a PDF straight to their desktop.

View 9 Replies1 -I have a flv file on one frame.I imported my video and CS3 added it to my library.I change parameters to autoplay and autorewind. This is on one frame.My flv file name is movie.flv
2- When this is done playing I want it to automatically go to main.html
3-I read a previous answer on this that gives the following code which I inserted right on the same frame that my flv is loaded.I named the instance name of this flv as "flv"
It isn't working.Here is the code I picked up on previous forum:So I put this on the frame where the flv is loaded which is scene 2 frame 1 and instance name of flv.
flv.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completeF);
function completeF(e:Event){
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("main.html"));
Statement must appear within on/onClipEvent handler .The class or interface 'Event' could not be loaded.I can't add a get URL code because it is a flv on one frame.

View 1 RepliesI am creating a web site using Flash CS3 actionscript 2.0.I know how to but the one extra thing I need to do for this site is create a button that anyone looking at the site can click and it automatically downloads a zip file containing music. (it's a site for a band who want their fans to be able to download their music.)A lot of the information I am finding pertains to PHP, which I don't understand. As I use action script 2.0, I am not familiar with much code.[code]but I most be doing something wrong b/c an error always comes up when I check the code.Also, I make a button, give it an instance name, but I don't enter that anywhere in the action script.so I know something has to be wrong, b/c the only thing I do is create a zip file, name it and enter it in the action script.

View 1 RepliesSince Flash 8 FileReference API was introduced, and file upload/download through Flash finally became possible. The API has one troubling limitation though, which is the 100mb limit for file transfer.
I'm developing a browser based file transfer utility, and I would have wanted to implement it with solely Flash. It has to have the ability to manage far larger files than 100mb. Does anyone know a way to overcome this limitation, or have another solution for file upload/download through Flash 8?
I have a swf file, which handels some xml data. After that process complets I am giving the data back to my rails server. My problem is, that any redirection in my rails app is handed ower to the swf file and the actual displayed page remains the same!

I want to download the free game at [url]... On loading the game, I found that the flash file wrapper is located at[url]...However, if I download this file, it does not have the game as it looks for main.swf. My question is, is there a way to download the actual file?
View 1 RepliesI know how to setup a preloader and I have that working. But when I debug the flash application and simulate a download, it has a blank background until a few seconds have passed. I know it is "downloading" the swf file and I'm wondering if I can show a progress bar for that, or do I need to have the swf file as small as possible and pre load everything needed and have all assets as a separate file I fetch? I found something with ProgressEvent.PROGRESS but this only loads after the flash file is finished downloading.

View 2 RepliesI updated the flash library XML/SWF (chart library) to the latest version on my web application but the users still see the charts with the old library which is saved in there browser cache.How can I force the browsers of my users to download the latest version of the SWF files.I can't add a parameter at the end of the SWF file like : charts.swf?v=1234.
If I do that I get an error because the chart library load dynamically other SWF files of the library. The charts.swf file will be the new version but the other files will still be from the older version and I will get an error...
I'm making an interactive cd in flash, I'm wondering how I can prompt the user with a way of saving video files (.mp4) to their computers.
Ideally they would click on a 'download video' button and then would be prompted with the usual window allowing them to choose where to save the file and name it.
Is there a way to do this within flash?

View 3 RepliesI generate a HTML page with VB.Net which stores several pinks to files. These links are formatted with JavaScript looking like the Windows-Explorer with folders and files. The problem: There are only download links for the files, not for Folders. A folder can contain Subfolders ,a List of Files or a combination of both. So if I want to download a folder, I have to click manually on every file-link. I have not the possibility to insert PHP or another Server-side language. my question now is: Is there a client side way to Download them by click on a Folder? I prefer Javascript but If it isn't possible Flash will be ok also.
