Actionscript 3 :: Limit On FileReference Uploads?
Jun 17, 2010
I am currently uploading files in ActionScript 3 using the upload() method of the FileReference class.I built an uploader than can do simultaneous or parallel uploads, having a variable set the number of maximum uploads at a time.I noticed that for Internet Explorer I could be uploading 10 or more files simultaneously, but FireFox and Safari seems to cap the number of uploads to 2. That is, when I call the upload method on per say, 3 files, only 2 will get events back (such as ProgressEvent.PROGRESS). Only when one of the 2 uploads finishes, then the 3rd one will start. This behavior does not happen for Internet Explorer. I have tried with a large number of files, and some big files, to make sure this behavior was consistent.

I am trying to use the load method of FileReference object to load the data and use it to display a thumbnail of the selected image.However, after calling fr.load(), fr.data remains null.I'm using Flex Builder 3.0.2 on Windows 7 with Flex SDK 3.4 and Flash Player 10 Debug. If I evaluate fr.load() in Eclipse's watch variables list, I get an error reading "No such variable: load."

I code primarily in PHP and Perl. I have a client who is insisting on seeking video submissions (any encoding) from the public via one of their pages rather than letting YouTube do its job.Server in question is a virtual machine and I can adjust ini settings for max post, max upload size etc as needed.My initial thought is to use a Flash based uploader with PHP on the back end but I wondered if someone might have useful advice and experience on the subject?

I'm looking for a tool to facilitate mulitple webpage file uploads from a single file browse dialogue. I know this has been asked previously, but I can't find anything current.I'd like to check file size prior to upload, and I gather Flash is still the only way to do that cross-browser? Ideally, I'd like an upload progress metre.I'll be using Linux and Apache servers, but don't have access to install add-ons such as PHP APC. Again, I assume something flash-based is the only option there?
I've looked at SWFUpload, but that appears to be another of these projects where the developers have become quite zealous and turned a simple concept into a full suite of tools for the masses.It seems quite cumbersome and I don't think I want to use it for my purpose.I'd prefer not to have to write something from scratch for this.suggest a non-Flash alternative if there is one? I do need full cross-browser compatibility without too many layers of degradation, so anything HTML 5 probably isn't what I want.

I have been uploading MUltiple files locally and on the server for testing. When i push the button, i start the upload. All files are uploading, thats not the problem, A The problem is i am showing the progress bar and %. i think because of the loop, all are displaying/loading crisscross eachother...
is there a way to wait with the loop, till 1 file is completed upload, then update then start the next one in the array? B also the eventListener for COMPLETE is not working for some reason... the completeHandler after tracing show no results. i have tried to add the listener when i am adding the referencefile into an array, and tried to add when calling back... what is the proper way to add the completeHandler for fileReference?

The only tools/plugins I've seen online that allow for multiple files to be selected for upload through one single dialog box using a SHIFT or CTRL click action (as opposed to clicking on a single file per for file uploads) exist for controls made in Flash/.NET/Java, not just straight Javascript/HTML/PHP.
Why is that the case? I'd imagine that if possible, site developers would look to having less dependencies on different technologies rather than more.

I'm trying to upload to amazon s3 using FileStream and UrlRequest.
But it seems I can only upload 2 files simultaneously.
Is there a reason for this? How can I work around this?
Also would this affect web service calls to a SOAP web service on the same domain?

You all know the new generation of fancy, mostly Flash-based file uploaders like SWFUpload that can show a progress bar while uploading - a great improvement especially for shaky and low-bandwidth connections.
However, these uploaders all bring their own logic of how to handle uploads on the client side. I am looking for an unobtrusive way to "fancify" existing, classical file uploads, i.e. introducing a progress bar to normal file upload forms.
Due to the architecture of uploading files, this is most likely not possible without some tweaking on the client side.
I am looking for a solution that keeps the tweaking to an absolute minimum, e.g. a component that adds itself to the onsubmit event of a normal form, performs the file upload, displays a nice progress bar, puts the resulting temporary (server side) file path into the form, and submits it. On the server side, I just have to modify my script to use the file path provided by the flash uploader, instead of $_FILES and consorts, and think about security for a moment.
This is not exactly what all the Flash-based uploaders do: They can use data from a form, but they do not provide possibilities to submit the form as is, what is what I'm looking for. I am looking for a (probably) Flash based upload function taken a step further.

I've been using this method of file uploading for a bit, but it seems that Google Gears has poor support for the newer browsers that implement the HTML5 specs. I've heard the word deprecated floating around a few channels, so I'm looking for a replacement that can accomplish the following tasks, and support the new browsers. I can always fall back to gears / standard file POST's but these following items make my process much simpler:
Users MUST to be able to select multiple files for uploading in the dialog.I MUST be able to receive status updates on the transmission of a file. (progress bars)I would like to be able to use PUT requests instead of POST I would like to be able to easily attach these events to existing HTML elements using JavaScript. I.E. the File Selection should be triggered on a <button> click. I would like to be able to control response/request parameters easily using JavaScript.
An example of uploading code using gears:
// select some files:
var desktop = google.gears.factory.create('beta.desktop');
desktop.openFiles(selectFilesCallback);
[code]....
Edit: apparently flash isn't capable of using PUT requests, so I have changed it to a "like" instead of a "must".

I have a aspx called user-photo-upload.aspx and another aspx called get-photo.aspx. I set the Session["PhotoId"] in the page_load method of user-photo-upload.aspx.
If I visit the user-photo-upload.aspx through the browser normally, the session can be retrieved in get-photo.aspx. But if the flash uploads photo to the user-photo-upload.aspx page, I can't get the Session["PhotoId"] in get-photo.aspx.
I discover that the Session ID is different when visiting the page using browser normally or by flash. I don't know why flash uses another session.

I've been reading about the security restrictions for file uploads in Flash Player 10.According to the FileReference docs for upload(), the upload does not have to be triggered by a user-initiated action (the browse() does, but that's another story). If it did, that would force an awkward user experience for multi-file uploads, since only one upload can occur at once -- so the user would have to click (or press a button) once per file to initiate the upload, but only when the previous file had finished uploading.

I am trying to make a frame around a picture that the user uploads using only 1 image repeating it and scaling it accordingly so that it is as big as it should be in reality arround that picture. My problem is that when I scale the result until some point all is well and than it smears somehow. I've been trying to fix this for 6 days now and I am desperate. I am posting the code that I use tho create the frame parts and a picture of the result after I scale it with scaleX and scaleY.
Code:
public class frame_part extends MovieClip {
public function frame_part(duplicationBitmap_org:Bitmap, neede_pcs_num_height:Number, order:String, rotation_num:int) {
super();
[code]....
P.S. The image that I use for the frame is 400x500 px and is duplicated 208 times.

I've built a flash file upload and have it working very well in AS 2. Now I am tweaking and adding new features to it, and one thing I want to do is rename a file on the event it exists. I'd like to send this back to flash, and looked and saw onUploadCompleteData available for AS 2 in fp9. So I added this event, and it fires as it should, but all data seems to show is "<br />" that is what I trace.
Now I am a little confused, adobe's documentation is, a wee bit scant on this with no examples of usage, and I googled the heck out of it. Adobe's docs says it returns 'raw' data. So, am I mistaken in thinking I can echo name/value pairs in php ad retrieve these? are there other was the get values back from php after the file upload php file is done moving the file?

I am trying to make a file upload program using as3 and amfphp. Instead of using the upload method I am instead calling an amfphp function and passing the filereference.data as one of the paramaters. This works well and good, however, i have no way to track the progress of the file upload, other then when it completely finishes uploading. I've decided to chunk up the bytearray in flash before i pass it so that i can get more progress information during the upload. The problem is when I try to take the data from filereference and put it into a bytearray it gives me an End of file was encountered error.

After scratching my head for months about a ProgressEvent issue I decided to post my problem.I've been searching the web for a long time about my problem and all I could find was people with similar problems..But none of them had a solution.I've created a SWF file to upload files to the web server.The even triggers the progressEvent.PROGRESS to let a javascript function know when the progress has changed.When it's done uploading it triggers Event.COMPLETE.When I test my code at first it doesn't seem to work.The progress is event 2 or 3 times and then claims it's finished (While the Event.COMPLETE isn't fired yet).When the file is actually uploaded flash triggers Event.COMPLETE accordingly.o Event.COMPLETE is correct.. but ProgressEvent.PROGRESS is not.At least, thats what I thought, when I tested it on another pc (With windows XP 64bit) it worked (Magically?) tried it on a Mac and it, again, worked...why it behaves like this?
Below is my code as it is right now.
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
