Apr 8, 2011I am displaying some flash content on a fairly standard page.

View 1 RepliesActionScript 2.0 :: SendAndLoad Relative Vs Absolute Path
Feb 19, 2009I'm attempting to use a relative path with SendAndLoad to my php query page named variables.php. Things seem to work just fine when I reference variables.php using an absolute path [URL], but variables are being returned as undefined when I attempt to call the page using just "variables.php." To add complexity, the swf is being referenced in an included page which is wrapped inside another page.
I know the path needs to be relative to the html/php page, not the swf itself. But what if the html page where the swf is encoded is actually being called from within another wrapper? I'm assuming the path needs to be relative to the final page, regardless. My guess is that the php isn't being parsed correctly when called via the relative path, which is the cause of my problem. Can anyone provide any insight? /dir/media/myflash.swf is called by /includes/myincludedswf.php which is then called by /home/final page.php if variables.php resides in the home directory, shouldn't I be able to use the path "variables.php" in the SendAndLoad directive?

View 1 RepliesFlex :: Getting An Absolute Local Path?
Oct 9, 2010I looked around, and the latest reference I saw was from 2008 stating that the standard FileReference browser does not support retrieving the user's file's absolute local path unless it's an AIR app, and indeed there's nothing in the docs suggesting otherwise. The reasoning behind this is apparently some misguided security concern... I get it's not a great idea to let any Flash app know your directory structure, but if the user actually grants your app a file, I think it doesn't invalidate the security model to know just that file's absolute path.
I'm wondering if the state of things has changed at all with Flex 4 and there's a method of getting the local filename of anything. I need it because I'm making an application that when distributed runs locally in 99% of cases, so doing a full file upload just to save it somewhere else on the local machine seems silly. (Plus the standard file uploading method doesn't support SOAP, which is what I'm using for all my other services...)

Changing The Link Path To Absolute Between The Index.swf And 1.swf, 2.swf?
Mar 24, 2010im trying to embed an swf file in facebook. To cut the story short, the swf im trying to embed is loaded fine but stops at preloader stage (0% of 1) and is not progessing as if it has missing link and couldnt locate something (the files struscture is one main swf file; index.swf loads other 5 swf),But, when i tried to load it up directly from browser, it works fine. I have been advised that changing the link path to absolute between the index.swf and 1.swf, 2.swf etc would solve the problem.
My questions will be:
-how do i change this path, because i couldnt seem to find any link that reflects the connection between those files?
-Is there any feature in flash that would be able to show this link rather than diggin up every symbol?
-If changing the path wouldnt solve the problem, what could be the reason this error is happening?.

ActionScript 3.0 :: Absolute Path To File Via FileReference?
Sep 8, 2011I am wanting to allow a user to select an image from their computer to use as a BG. FileReference does this job well, however it does not provide the absolute path to the selected file.
I want the selected BG to stay in their "save" (local SharedObject cookie) so that it can be loaded the next time they come back. But since FileReference only provides me with the filename, I'm not sure how to go about storing this information for later. I could, I suppose, store the image data into the cookie directly, but that would be terribly inefficient since many BG images are rather large for a cookie.
how I can go about finding the image file path that the user selected, or efficiently saving the image they chose?

Web Development :: Easiest Way To Get The Absolute Path Of Directory From Browser?
Dec 8, 2009I allow my users to upload files from a directory. I use SWFUpload so that they can upload multiple files easily. However, I need to get the absolute path of the directory from which they are uploading.A little research tells me that it can't be done in plain HTML/Javascript or in Flash.Java applets seem to support this, so that's what I'm planning on using. I guess ActiveX can also do it, but I don't know much about ActiveX stuff, so I would rather avoid it.Also, I can assume that the users are using Windows (XP or greater) and IE.It there an easier way (other than writing a Java applet) that I'm missing? Having the user type in the directory into a textfield is an option, but not a very good one.

View 3 RepliesWay To Change Relative Path Flash Uses?
May 27, 2010So I just found out the hard way that the path that Flash uses to load external content is based on the HTML it is embedded in, not the SWF itself. This is a problem for me because I have the HTML generated from a PHP file that is in a folder below the SWF. The PHP has other dependencies that would break if I moved it into the same folder as the SWF.So basically now my dev testing and web versions are separated by a folder.Is there a way to change the relative path Flash uses? Or am I going to have to hack things up?

Actionscript 3.0 :: Relative Path SWF Loading?
Jan 14, 2009create a flash viewer, which will load various other flash movies. The viewer will be in the root directory, but the flash movies it will load are a few directories deep. Those movies access various sound clips that are in an audio directory relative to each swf I want to load.
/flashViewer.swf
/myContent/someProgram/program.swf
/myContent/someProgram/audio/sound1.wav
It seems that when I load one of these movies into my viewer, the loaded movie is looking for the sounds in an audio folder in the root directory, and not relative to the swf I loaded. Is there a way to set this? I would rather not have to make the changes in each of my other movies to use the absolute path

View 3 RepliesActionScript 3.0 :: Relative Path In Externally Loaded SWF?
Oct 14, 2009I have a flash movie (let's call it B.swf) that loads an XML file which is located in the same directory to provide some data. This flash movie works fine itself. Now, I've made another flash movie, a main movie (let's call it A.swf), which loads different SWF's in turn, including the aforementioned one B.swf (which now would be located along with the XML file in a subdirectory).
To my surprise, I've checked that now I get an error, as the path I specified for the XML file in B.swf is not valid anymore when B.swf is loaded from A.swf. The relative path from which it's searching for the file is the directory where A.swf is located, not the one where B.swf is located, as happened when this movie was executed standalone.
Is there any way to fix this so that I don't have to change the path I specified in the code and I can use B.swf either way externally loaded or standalone?
