View 3 RepliesWe develope for multy users OS. So my Air App needs to save some files to let all users acsess them (and be able to acsess them on its own). So I need a function to save files into public directoris (crossplatform function).
View 1 RepliesI have an AIR app that gets bundled with XML files that the app needs. These get put into the APP Storage Directory, of course. Works great. But when I install a new version ( which includes new XML files) , the new files don't get added or overwrite the ones from the previous version. It seems that if that directory is there from a previous install, the installer will ignore the part where it moves included files.
View 1 RepliesI write a flex + java application using the blazeds framework. when i write log files in my java classes the default path is the java path on the server. I want it to be my application at the tomcat/webapps/application directory when i write it hard-coded it failed (maybe bacause of permissions) but, i want it to be general (not hard-coded) so, what do i need to change in my java code in order to write files in my webapps directory? maybe it just an xml configuration?
View 3 Replieshow can i delete storage directory instances or folder while uninstalling any air application. In my application when i first time run my application, application copy some data from application directory to application storage directory. now i want to delete all data and application directory folder also while uninstalling application.
I am doing that because when i launch any update then application is accessing old data which conflict with my application new features.
We are writing log files to File.applicationDirectory and want to clean out old log files. The question is how do you delete files out of that directory? When I try and delete old log files out of this directory it gives a security exception. Is there anyway around this? I know you are not supposed to write to File.applicationDirectory, but we are writting are logs there anyways.

View 3 RepliesI have designed an AIR application that displays a list with all txt files located in C: directory. I have used following code:
var videoListsArr:ArrayList = new ArrayList();
var folder:File = new File(driveName+":\");
folder.getDirectoryListingAsync();
[Code].....
This function works fine but it is being executed the application is hang and become unresponsive. how to resolve this problem that it displays the list of txt file without making application unresponsive ?
As expected I have a question, which is the following: Is it possible to load a complete directory into Flash. So that the only thing you will have to do is copy/paste the file to the directory and Flash loads it automaticaly?
View 2 RepliesI am running Flash Media Streaming Server 3.5.1 r516 on a CentOS system. I also have WHM/cPanel installed on this system. My scenario is this. We have a large number of MP4 media files that are currently located in a web root directory created by cPanel: /home/mediafa/public_html/fullservices. These all work without a problem when doing progressive downloads. However, we also want to make them streamable with FMS as well. From the documentation, I should be able to create an entry in the /<fms install dir>/applications/vod/Application.xml file to look up files in that folder.
Here is my VirtualDirectory block:
<StreamManager><VirtualDirectory>
<!-- Specifies application specific virtual directory mapping for recorded streams.-->
<Streams>/;/home/mediafa/public_html/fullservices</Streams>
<Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams>
<Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams>
</VirtualDirectory></StreamManager>
However, when I try to connect to a file that is in that directory, I get a 404 error in the access.00.log file. I've tried to change the owner/group on the fullservices folder as well as the owner/group of the target file to the fms user/group, but I still cannot connect to it. The connection address is rtmp://<ipAddress>/vod/mp4:1005-03m_256k.mp4.
I have a bit of code that I want to change to make it save to the application directory. (the directory the application is installed at). While currently the bit of code I have works it just brings up a browse window for me to pick where to save the file. I want it to default to the application directory though.
How do I change it to do just that.

So I'm trying to copy a file selected by the user into the AIR application storage directory, but when I attempt to resolve the path in the storage directory, I get:
Error #3002: File or directory exists.
I get this even when there is no possible way that the file already exists (I am pretty sure there is no "qqqqq.txt" there).
My code looks like this:
var saveFile:File = File.desktopDirectory;
saveFile.browseForOpen("Open File");
saveFile.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, function(e:Event):void
[Code]....
The error is thrown on the line where I try to set the destination as the applicationStorageDirectory, but I have no idea why.
Edit: So I commented out everything below var destination:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory; and it STILL throws the error.
My company has recently asked me to install the Adobe Streaming Server 4.0.I was wondering if it is possible to have the server software reside on the C: drive, while having my VOD files on seperate D: drive.The staff here wants to separate the software (server in this instance) from the individual flash video files, so they have set up two drives.
View 2 RepliesI am testing fms this days, I have put all my files(such as 1.mp3,2.mp3...n.mp3) in my directory.I can play single file fine with url like this: rtmp://localhost/mp3/mp3:x/2
but i want to know is there any way to play all files in my direcotry? for example, user click the play button, the player(smp) automatic plays all files in the directory, link windows media server.Should I use playlist? Or there is another better way?
Due to decisions out of my control I've created a iPad app by way of a CS5.5 Flash build and using the 'Air for iOS' publish.
In the 'Air for iOS' settings I've included a file. The issue I'm having is in trying to call the file and not knowing what the path is.
I'm hoping this is a case where files added in this manner are placed in a consistent location.
Is that the case? And if so, what would the path be?
This hopefully should be an easy fix. Part of my program calls for extracting the number of files within a given directory. This is done easily using the code below:
[Code]....
However, this code only works using AIR as the runtime player. There should be an equivalent command that can be used with Flash layer 10.2 or earlier.
I want to populate my listbox with all the XML files in the same directory as the .swf, but I also want to release my final .swf to others, so I can't just use the directory that directs toward the folder on just my computer. How would I go around doing this, and how would I refer to the selected item in the listbox in order to use the selected file? Sorry if this is actually really easy, but as indicated in the topic title, I not sure how I would go around doing this due to my noobiness in coding.

I was wondering if it is possible to make and App capable of listening when the user "adds" new files to a directory.
Example:
The User opens up our Application. The user adds new files on the desktop (using the Microsoft Explorer). Our application automatically detects that new files have been added and executes a function or whatever.
Maybe, this could be done using a programming language like Visual Basic and open the executable with the NativeProcess api and listen for an stdOut event.
I really don't know where to start with this. I have many xml files in a specific directory and would like to have a listbox become populated with only those xml file names when a button is pressed.
View 6 Repliesis there a way to have flash read swf from a directory dynamicaly. so if you add a new one it reads it and you could have a next and previouse button to dynamicly browse throught them.
this way you could just upload new swf and it would automaticaly add it to the set so when you hit next at the end it would read the new one.
I have successfully been able to write some client-side ActionScript that allows me to record my webcam and mic data to my FMS server. The .flv files get saved to a directory under the applications directory. However, I need to process those flv files for a web application and would like those .flv files to be saved to the web app's directory (outside of the FMS application directory). I have tried changing the <Streams> tag in the Application.xml file that I placed in the FMS application directory, but that simply did not work.My goal is simple: to save the recorded stream data outside of the FMS application's directory. I have been going crazy trying to do this, but would like to know any pointers that any of you experts have. Can this be done? If not, how can I execute a server side PHP script after the stream is done recording. I know about using the exec() function in PHP, but am unsure as to how to execute that script via client-side actionscript.Here is the path to my FMS server (Linux OS) installation and the application directory. The application name is "ngale"./opt/adobe/fms/applications/ngaleHere is the path that my client-side ActionScript is placing the .flv files of the recorded streams/opt/adobe/fms/applications/ngale/streams/recordings/Here is the path to my web application/home/user/public_html/dev.ngale.net/public/Here is the path that I would like for the .flv recording files to be saved to/home/user/public_html/dev.ngale.net/public/audio/.flv

I'm creating a simple online, Flash-based music player; the user clicks on a song in a DataGrid and then it plays, simple. I will display the song information with the ID3 method in the 'sound' class, but I don't want to hard-code all the songs into the ActionScript, because I might change them. I have created a "tracks" folder in the site directory; how can I extract the names of the files within that folder without knowing how many files there are, and inherently, without knowing the URLs?
View 4 RepliesI am new to flash and decided to start out using templates to gain a beter understanding. I grabbed a template - that when I went to save it said it was an MX version - once I began to make changes in it re-save and publish it I noticed that some of the elements were missing. I thought it was something I did so I copied the entire directory and just opened the .fla and saved it without making a change and then published it and the items were gone again. I saved it in the same directory only changing the output .swf file and used all of the same html files

View 1 RepliesWhen I have a class linked to a MovieClip in my library and that class takes an argument in its constructor method. That class will compile properly ONLY when it's located in my top-level directory (same dir as the .fla and Document.as files). If I move that class to a deeper directory, say com.place, and update the package statement and symbol link appropriately, the compiler will generate error "1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0."Create flash project and put a rectangle on the stage. Covert it to symbol and assign it to class TestPanel - or whatever you choose. Also configure the fla so that is uses a Document (Main) class.Create Main.as and TestPanel.as in the same folder. In the Main class, instantiate a instance of TestPanel and add it to the stage. Flash will, predictably, add the rectangle symbol and everything is fine.Now modify TestPanel so that its constructor method takes a Number and have Main.as pass some number to TestPanel.[code]You now get the error: 1136: Incorrect number of arguments.Expected 0.When I move the TestPanel.as into a deeper directory, Flash somehow is looking elsewhere for the base class for Symbol, even though I'm mapping that Symbol to com.place.TestPanel.
