I'm need to simulate a web form's ability to include as many File inputs as one wishes in the FORM and have all the files arrive together in one request.
What's the prescribed method for performing said operation in AS3?
Here's my WCF REST endpoint:
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", UriTemplate = "_test/upload")]
public void UploadImage(Stream data)
{[code].....
And I'm using the multipart parser from here: http://antscode.blogspot.com/2009/11/parsing-multipart-form-data-in-wcf.html.My issue is that the above works great for some files (.bat, .txt, .cs, .doc) - I see in Fiddler all the good signs including the 200 (OK) status. When I try to upload other files (.xls, .vsd), it fails with a 400 (Bad Request) status. I'm very surprised that a .doc would work and a .xls and .vsd would fail.
It is consistent as well. I've uploaded several .doc files successfully without any failures. I've also tried to upload several .xls files - some succeed, some fail (the successes are consistent over and over, the failures are consistent over and over). As I write this and test more and more files, there is a .pdf file that consistently produces a 504 (Fiddler - Receive Failure) error.
FYI, I am using Flex on the client and using the FileReference class to do the uploads. The Flex code is as standard as they come - using this code with the only change being the WCF REST URL: http:[url].....
I need a component where user can click on browse button and select multiple files using ctrl key and upload them at once. Please note that it is dfferent from clicking add more files each time a file gets uploaded. Is it posible in flex?
View 2 RepliesI have an array which contains multiple Filereferences.Currently, I am using a loop to upload them with PHP and all is well

I want my file upload to be very simple, and what could be simpler than just a single button. The requirements are that you should be able to upload multiple files at once. It would definitely be an advantage if I could add file format filters as well, and design the button by myself (including the hover event).
I searched and found Plupload, which seemed to be awesome with the easy setup and functionality, but I can't quite figure out how to create my button; I've only found their Custom upload, which prints out the file names and requires at least one click on another button before it's done (and I can apparently not add any hover-attribute). I tried to edit the JavaScript to make the form be sent after all the files had been added, but failed.
I am creating flash uploader and want to start 10 uploadings at time.But flash upload only 2 files on domain at time, other references wait for something.In IE with ActiveX Player limitation is about 6 files at time.Is there any ideas how to change this limitation? For uploading I need to use FileReference.upload without creating URLRequest object from file data.
View 1 RepliesI've developed a system that uses SWFUpload to easily allow the user to upload multiple files with a progress bar showing them the upload progress. It all works fine in my development environment, but is failing for some users in the wild with the Flash movie not loading. I can see the Flash movie is there, if I right click it a window appears saying Movie not loaded... (Then on the next line) About Adobe Flash Player 10...So far I've not been able to determine what was causing the failure.Are there any other alternatives to SWFUpload that will allow for:
Upload progress bar
Allow multiple uploads
Does any one have a working fla. and php script to upload multiple files (with the specified max sizes, and file types) to a server? In addition, when there is an image being uploaded, it would be luxurious to have a thumbnail of the image being uploaded displayed.There is clearly not a simple issue. Scores of designers and developers encountered problems and headaches trying to upload multiple files with and image display (if an image is being uploaded). Even my web designer has a slight problem, although he tweaked some of the code to get a simple upload. Adobe needs to address this issue because it seems that sscores of designers and developers are having difficulty with uploading multitple files.
View 3 RepliesCan you use the FileReference.upload() function to upload files to Sharepoint or do I have to use the SP web services? This is without adding your own ASP.NET Web Services, just using the built in SP Web Services.

My code:
ActionScript Code:

As URLLoader launches requests without any issue (I'm monitoring network and flash activities via FireBug in FF 3.6.13), the FileReference upload method doesn't. The odd thing is that no error is thrown AND (the strangiest) the complete and the progress events are correctly fired while no request has been done, and my php isn't receiving anything !

how to upload files in flash?
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to upload files to a server, with flash only? I'm looking for a SWF file that's able to do this task.is it possible to upload a file with flash alone (no PHP or ASP)in case this is possible: is there a simple SWF-file to do this task which I could use?
View 1 Replies... or do you need to use html forms & php and then pass the data to flash? Is there any method within flash that's equivalent to HTML's 'file' input object, which can be used to select a file on the user end and upload/save to a server?
View 5 RepliesIs there an open source Flash uploader that can handle files larger than 2 GB? ASP.net implementations like SlickUpload are not an option, and SWFUpload (and others that I've seen) do not handle files larger than 2 GB. Nor is requiring the user to have Java installed to run applets. This would be for both IE and Firefox.
I've seen a couple "large file transfer" sites that have a Flash uploader and claim to go past the 2GB limit (which is the limit for http uploads for most browsers) so I know it is technically possible.
I need a flash uploader, to use it in my CMS project. I need something like this, but with greater max upload size (it doesn't allow to upload files larger ini_get('upload_max_filesize')).
My server doesn't allow me to overwrite ini settings, so I'm looking for an uploader which can upload large files independently from the ini settings.
I am designing a site for a photographer friend, which has no ftp experience or anything. i would like to just have a page where she can upload her photos to the webserver herself.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to provide a client with a method of sharing video files with members of the media. I'm really not sure how to accomplish this, but there are two things that I'm assuming at this point:
To get the 50MB-750MB files on the server I was thinking I'd use a flash control to upload the files like I've seen on other video sharing sites (YouTube, vimeo, ...)This would have to be done via FTP
So I have been searching for a Flash/Java plugin that would help me get these files to the server in a user-friendly fashion, but there doesn't seem to be any open-source options. I'm open to paying for a solution, but not unless it will allow me to use it over and over again. So now I'm thinking I should just setup a public FTP dropbox for admins to put videos using an FTP client like FileZilla, then I can just read the directory and edit/organize/manage the files with PHP.
I'm trying to reproduce a POST request that was captured from WireShark using PHP. This POST request was sent by a Flash (.swf) object, so it's a little bit complicated in configuring the header.It does not print out anything in the end, so there must be something wrong with PHP code that I could not see.Here is what WireShark captured:
POST /engine/ HTTP/1.1
Host: abcdef.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8[code]....
The result is a blank page instead of response from server.
Some friends asked me to build them a site so their clients could use a private part of the site to upload and download files like in a FTP program (with user/password). I've searched the web, but only found a few uploaders that don't allow to also download and manage the files uploaded. I've noticed on my searches an extension called "yamzbrowser", but it is an old piece of software, and in a quick test I've found that it is not all browser compatible. In fact, I was not able to upload a simple file using the popular IE 7...
Is there any script, extension or toll that allow multiple users to upload / download, and manage (see, delete, rename) files inside a Flash page? Maybe a HTML solution that could be loaded inside a Flash page...
I want to upload images with multiple URLLOADER s,so that i could save the time when waiting for the COMPLETE_EVENT.
Sometimes it could get blocked,and it does not give a completion event, does not give a security error, does not give a status event and does not throw an exception. It simply never fires any event at all.
private const RO_NUMBER:int = 2;
private var roPool:Array = new Array();
public function init():void {

the load operation is asynchronous and single thread .why could this get blocked?
Is this possible through flash?
I have to create a flash uploader where you can define the maximum number of files that can be selected.
I want users to be able to upload audio files to my server (say, over HTTP.. mechanism doesn't matter much), and then I'd like to assemble those files into a playlist and stream them out over a live RTMP stream to a Flash widget.The catch is: I'd like to begin streaming the audio files before they completely finish uploading. For example, if a user uploads an hour-long mp3, I'd like it to be able to begin playing on the RTMP stream once, say, the first minute has been uploaded.I'd like to support mp3 and AAC, and would hope to avoid re-encoding the files. Is is there a way to make this work with Wowza, Flash Media Server, or some other clever solution?
View 2 RepliesI'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 am trying to upload image files to my server using AS3 and PHP, and at the moment I am succeeding in uploading multiple files and restricting it to images only, but since I am finding it difficult to figure out how to have a loader bar show when the files are being uploaded, as well as executing a function once all files have been uploaded to go to a specified frame.
Here is my code thus far,
AS3:
import flash.net.FileReferenceList;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
[Code]....
1: how can I display a percentage or a uploading bar indicating the progress of the files being uploaded?
2: How can I launch a callback function after ALL files have been uploaded successfully?
3: How can I make the file browser appear on click, and not upon loading the flash file?
I am trying to create a multiple file upload flash application to be called from an External Interface, but it isn't working.
AS3:
var fileRef:FileReferenceList;
ExternalInterface.addCallback('selectFiles', showDialog);
function showDialog()
[Code].....
When I run the script and comment out the fileRef parts and uncomment the alert call, it shows the alert, also when I comment out the ExternalInterface call, leaving only the fileRef parts, it shows the file upload dialog.
When I run it as intended, I get the following error:
Error calling method on NPObject

I need to send a HTTP request (and get XML response) from Flash that looks similar to following:
http://example.com/somepath?data=1&data=2&data=3
I.e. having several parameters that share same name, but have different values.
Until now I used following code to make HTTP requests:
var resp:XML = new XML();
resp.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {/*...*/};
resp.ignoreWhite = true;
[Code].....
But in that case I am loosing ability to do POST requests.
