Is there a way to download some files directly to the user disk, without browsing? (assuming they give permission of course).FileReference does this, but does not allow to directly save files to the hard disk (if not through browsing).

Im not sure if this is possible in AS2 but i will ask anyway! Would it be possible to have a standalone SWF which gives the user the ability to browse their computer files and then load a picture for example? I know this can be done in AIR but im restricted to AS2 only!

Read about saving files directly from flash player 10 recently. If I can pull this off then it will be a life saver with a project I am working on.

View 5 RepliesI'm creating a simple flash navigation using some transparent .gifs. At present i import them then make them instances and use them internally in flash from there... But, is it possible to link the instance to an external gif file on the server so that the image can be change by simply changing the gif file/s instead of having to go back into flash??
I realise it would be easier to just update by importing the new images into flash but it's a client request and as they say 'the customer is always difficult'
I've been experimenting with Windows Azure Blob storage using the samples using Silverlight.
I was wondering if it's possible to write a file upload component in Flash instead of Silverlight, since the former is installed almost everywere. I've never programmed in Action Script but I have a solid background in C# so that must not be hard.
i have seen almost all relevant threads on almost whole internet. and i m still confused..i m working on a drawing app ( flex / air ), 1- where user loads image file,(bitmapdata > bitmap > movieclip base layer)2- add layer ( new sprite > movieclip "second object in display list")3- draw on this sprite ( graphics.draw circle / etc, lot of other details etc)4- usr can add more layers etc, name layers etc ... all sprites are of same size as bitmapQ1. now i wanted to save this main movieClip (part of UIComponent ) as swf file. so user can read again and continue work. almost like i do with photoshop.
comment: i know it sounds too generic, to ask such detailed thing. so please be patient..i have been fiddling around with byteArray. and Air File Object,flash.net.fileReference etc..Q2. (main question), i don't want to convert drawn sprites to bitmapdata and then do bytearray. ( in my mind) it will convert everything to pixels, which i don't want.Q3. is there some auto magical line which will do everything..(save drawn vectors / shapes) in sprites as is?? (less chances). if i can read swf as movieClip, i can check sprites for layers and everything else... problem is writing this to disk as swf file.
I want to also add cuepoints to a live recording video as it is incoming.
I have a live feed incoming from a VideoDisplay object in my Flex Air app, and I would like to be able to record the video/audio of this and save it to disk and/or upload to server.
Is this possible? If so, would it be possible to add CuePoints to the video as it is being streamed live? Right now I am just trying to record a live stream from my VideoDisplay.

Question: How can i do the similar using Flex/Flash from the web browser ?
I have a flash app that needs to download a file, whose name contains UTF-8 characters.
Internally, the filename is read from a UTF-8 XML file, e.g. "my filé.pdf". The code goes something like this:
url = get_filename_from_XML();
req = new URLRequest( url );
ref = new FileReference();
ref.download( req );
The problem is that the URL is encoded in Latin1, i.e. the é is encoded as %E9 instead of %C3%A9 (according to FireBug). How can I get Flash to encode the URL correctly?
I wonder how can I download/save/write a file from my server to a client's computer using flash or flex.

then you'll see a confirmation popup for the download, then you choose where do you want to save the file, and the flash movie saves the file!

But when I tried a remote file like
