Actionscript :: Upload Image Into Flash With Flash Only?
Jul 6, 2010
I have to alter old flash app written with actionscript 2 to let users upload image in one movieclip.
Since i have no control over placement of that flash in server, is it possible to do this without any PHP code (yes, flash is on site on LAMP stack), with flash only? I.E. - user uploads image to flash application, which creates in itself temporary copy of image, that user 'copied' from his disk?
Just wondering if anyone knows about the project I am trying to start, uploading images from flash using php is fine but wondering if anyone knows how to create dynamic xml from php and it takes all the image names from the same folder where those images have been uploaded. So we can load all the images in image gallery through xml into flash.
I'm running a web application built on Seam. I would like to have an image upload + crop component. Preferably on client side, so the image uploaded to the server would be the result of the crop. I read this can be made with Flash 10. I was thinking flex is also a possibility. Does anyone has good hints to give me, what component to choose or what is the best way to connect the backing bean I have with the flash/flex?
I'm looking to develop an application that essentially allows the user to upload their company logo and have it appear on an image to simulate what a product might look like with their branding on if that makes sense. Does this kind of app have a proper name or search term I could work from? Ideally there'd be a prebuilt solution as my flash isn't very good. I have an idea to achieve this with say PHP and a combination of jquery and css but I think a flash solution would be more elegant.
I have been asked to create a photo canvas website that allows users to upload an image, then apply several effects such as re-sizing/cropping/desaturate, then viewing the updated image on a generic wall and going to check out to buy the canvas.Similar site that has the features i want is this : http:[url]....
I am pretty new to web developing/designing, i am confident with html,css and actionscript to an extent, but have only used small parts of php before.how to go between html > php >flash >back to html again.From what i understand i need to create the following functions:
1. Create a general html website which will store the upload form and flash photo editor swf on, when the user first access's the site i start the php session...
2. The user then uploads there image to the server using a simple php upload form which will store the file and create a unique named file also on the server...
3. The flash editor swf will then load up on the html page. Inside the actionscript of the swf i will tell flash to continue with the php session by calling it again and call users image on the server with the 'file reference' command. The editing functions such as cropping, canvas size will all have variables to mark what the user has chosen and these varaibles will get ent back to the html page using php to keep track of them for the checkout process...
4. Once the editing has finished the user will click 'finish' in the swf taking them to the php shopping basket/checkout which will call the variables sent in flash to determine final cost depending on what effects chosen.
Is the above correct and more importantly is it possible? The main part i am struggling to get my head around is editing in flash (say changing the uploaded image to 20 x 26) and then saving this back to the server and sending the new settings back into the html/php page.Is this all possible without using database and tables such as MySql?
I want to embed a flash to my site, that allows the user to paste an image which is in clipboard, and this images will then be uploaded to the server. Is there a script that can do that? i googled for about an hour now, but didn't find anything that fits my needs.
the best thing would be if you also coul crop your image when its uploaded and then save it.
it's most likely to upload screenshots, so that you don't have to first save it, crop it, and then upload it.
im trying to create a online business card editor to learn flash again, one of the functionality im trying to achieve is being able to upload an image (jpg,png etc) and place said image onto a drawing canvas and then being able to scale the image and rotate the image and move the image around. can some one direct me to a decent tutorial for this kind of functionality.
I'm creating a flash application that will post images to a url for saving to disk/display later. I was wondering what are some suggested strategies for making this secure enough so that the upload is verified as coming from the application and not just some random form post. Is it reliable enough to check referring location realizing that I don't need bulletproof security, or perhaps setting authentication headers is a better strategy even though it seems unreliable from what I have read. The application and the server script will reside on the same domain and is in java - is there a way to check for a 'session' or something like that?
Another thought I had was some sort of simple hashed key type system, I could hard-code a key into the flash application and pass something to the server based on that - the server would also know this key and be able to verify if the value passed was based on that? The app is a public app, so authenticating users is not an option. After more research I am thinking about using a hard coded salt key on both ends, then sending an MD5 hash of the base64 encoded image bytearray+salt to be matched on the server side.
I will use the URLRequest to upload the modified image in Flex. It works fine. However, I need to add Content-Length as a URLRequestHeader for the moment, and I get error 2096. Then, I know that this header is not allowed.
Update: According to adobe's documentation: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/URLRequestHeader.html[code].....
Im working on a project where i need to create a webpage that the end user can upload an image (gif, jpg, png) that is then transformed and mapped to a perspective shape, then saved to the server, and linked in the mysql DB.Has anyone done something like this before?Id like to do this in flash, if possible, if not, I guess shockwave is the next optionbecause you cant distort flash movie clips to create a "perspective" im gonna need to use something like this:

I want to create a custom video like the videos on jibjab, i.e allow a user to upload an image of their face and superimpose this onto a video of a character's face.
EDIT: Reworked my code a bit and decided to throw out URLLoader in favor of the ile.upload() method.Now I'm stuck again >_<Here's the code I currently have, stripped down to bare-bones:When I drag-drop image files onto my app, here is the trace log that gets returned to me:
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.
I've been trying to configure uploading and I've been getting an error 500.I'm running a server on Apache2 with php5+ installed. I'm curious to why i keep getting an error.[code]I added those to my .htaccess file
As far as I know, what I ask here isn't possible, but I thought I'd ask anyway in case I'm missing something.
Suppose you want to let users upload JPG images, and these images are scaled into smaller icons and the original images are always discarded and never required again. Is there any way that would commonly work in most modern browsers that would let the user select a single image on their hard drive, have that LOCALLY turned into a thumbnail and upload the created thumbnail to a server?
In a case where the server just needs a small image, it would be wasteful both in user time and server resources to proceed uploading the whole image, only to immediately discard it. It would be much better to just scale it on the client.
I can imagine three options. Just plain HTML/Javascript, using Flash or using Java. If this were possible with Flash, that would seem like the best option. But reading flash.net.FileReference documentation, it seems that you can upload a file from the HD yes, but you cannot look inside the file you are uploading. On the other hand, if you enable "can access local files" in Flash publishing options, it seems that you can then no longer access the net, so that doesn't work.
With HTML/Javascript, it is possible to load images and display them on a <canvas>, but if you try to access the pixels of these images, you get security violations, so that doesn't seem to work.
Java I hesitate to use, because only 96.52% of my users have it installed, and the file upload dialogs I have seen implemented in Java (at Facebook for example) have not worked well (unresponsive interface). I wonder though if Java is the only thing allowing resizing images from local HD?
I'm using Agile Uploader in my project to resize image before upload on client side.And it works fine except one thing: if image name contains cyrillic letters it fails with server error 500.
How to avoid this or if needed how to rename file with english letters "on fly" (possibly with javascript).
I would like to know if it's possible to capture a users webcam in flash and directly upload it to YouTube without a backend server setup. Or if there are any third party providers that support this service. I see YouTube offers a live streaming API, but it seems it's only available for selected users.
I have an app that uploads pictures to the server. When I upgraded Firefox 3.6.6 FP to flash player 10.1 the uploaded stopped working. It still works perfect in other browsers. It works fine in Firefox 3.6.6 but different Flash player version. I did some debugging and noticed that it works fine when I run it in my development environment (Localhost). In the production server it returns I/o Exception but it doesnt make sense because it works for other players and also the file is there. I changed the permissions on the file to 777, the allowScriptAccess to always, tried to make the php path absolute also and no luck. The php file does not use sessions or cookies.
I have a file upload script to upload pictures to a server. It has been working fine in all browsers but when I upgraded the flash player to 10.1 in firefox 3.6.6 yesterday it stop working.I retested with another computer and as soon as i installed the flash player 10.1 it stopped working.
I did some debbuging and noticed that the error return from the FileReference listener is I/O error.It doesnt make sense because the file is in the server and it works fine in all other browsers.I changed allowScriptAccess from "samedoamin" to "always" without luck. I also used absolute path in the upload url. When I run it in my local development environment it works but it doesnt work in the production server. I have changed the security settings of the folders in the server to 777 and still doesnt work either.it works perfect in other flash player versions.the HTML that embeds the movie:
I'm at that awkward point in Flash authoring where I know the basics, have tackled only a few of the intermediate issues, and have been assigned a task that seems a bit daunting. I did my fair share of googlin, and searching on these forums and haven't found what I'm looking for.I've created a simple drawing program in flash before, but what I need to add is the functionality to upload a user image and crop/resize it. Does anyone here have a link to an article that will explain a bit about flash's jpg manipulation abilities?
Is there a way to upload an image using flex inbuild .browse() and classic asp? So in flex the user picks the image they want to upload, press a button to start sending it. A asp handler then gets the file, uploads it to a folder and then writes the filename in a database. Writing of the filename in the database is no problem.
Any best way to upload the image file by using Flex 4 and PHP. I have searched online but most of them are using Flex 2 or older version. I am just curious if there are any new ways to do it. I just found a good one here... [URL]
