I only allow PNG and JPEG files to be uploaded which I defined for all windows computers using the FileFilter via the constructor. The problem is that mac systems (or unix in generell) don't only use the file extension but also read some file type in the header of a file I think.

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."
View 4 RepliesIs it possible for flash to accept value from a database?There is a database storing values "postions" and "descriptions" (there are 2 coloumns named so to store the values).In flash I want to accept the values entered in these 2 coloumns. How to go about it? If I create 2 dynamic text boxes with variable names "p" and "d" respectively and an "accept" button on the scene, what script should I add to the button so that these text boxes accept the values?
so my 2 queries are:
1) how do I send the value from the database to flash?
2) how do I accept the same in flash?

View 1 Repliesjust can't understand why Adobe has not corrected this very basic bug since ages. So, the thing is Windows users tend to love, GOT USED TO using CTRL+INSERT and SHIFT+INSERT for copy and paste operations.Yyyeeas I know, that under Keyboard shortcuts I can define my own shortcuts, but the real problem is, that even after the Shortcut manager eats shift insert as a paste hotkey, it just fails to function.CTRL INSERT works like a charm, but SHIFT INSERT as Paste DOES NOT.AAARRRGGHHH.

View 6 RepliesI have a YouTube video embedded in my page. It is hidden (display:none). You need to click one of the video link buttons to display the video and play it. The links are defined like this:
<a href="javascript:play('xxxxxxxxxxx')">Video 1</a>
<a href="javascript:play('xxxxxxxxxxx')">Video 2</a>
xxxxxxxxx represent YouTube video IDs.
[Code]....
It's fundamentally pretty simple! But here's the problem. since the video player is hidden, the flash object is not activated. So when I click a video link, the line ytplayer.style.display = 'block'; displays the video player, but it takes about about half a second for flash to load. During this time it cannot accept any method calls, such as the next line ytplayer.loadVideoById( id, 0, 'hd1080' );. Essentially, I have to click the link twice, once to load up the flash video player, the second time to actually load the video into the player.
When using SOAP web services in Flash Builder, I am able to use the web services tool and test making service calls without any issue.I can pass strings that contain spaces, double and single quotes with great success. when I write code to send a string containing spaces or quotes, the web service doesn't return a success response.If I remove the quotes and/or spaces, success.I've tried wrapping the string in tags, but I don't know what else to do.

Essentially, I have a function with three parameters, that works fine when I type in the parameter values. The function is tweens(MCname, targX, targY) and it runs properly when I use tweens(btn1, 150, 200) for instance. I need the function to move 6 different movie clips, one at a time, and I am using a variable (Counter) and an if statement to tell the function to run again after one of my tween classes finishes. The code all works, and it will run six times with the same clip if I just type in one of the movie clip's instance names as the MCname parameter.
BUT, if I try to use a variable (BTNname) to serve as the MCname parameter, it will not work, making it so I cannot apply the function to my 6 different movie clips. I put a trace on the MCname parameter, and it returns the correct value (btn1, btn2, btn3, etc) but it is not moving the corresponding movieclips. I've tried a number of different methods, but nothing will work.[code]...
I'm having a weird problem with AS3/CS5: I have a textfield, and I'm playing around with focusing on it at various points. At one point,I set focus to the textfield (which only accepts 1 character), then add an Event.CHANGE listener to it. This works fine, except when I type the letter 'a' (or 'A'). Nothing happens until I click on the text field and type 'a.' I don't have to do the second click with any other character, and before I do the second click, the cursor is blinking in the box. Not sure what to do...

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 am currently creating a software, i need to upload images form my HDD to server. i can do this with FileReference Object. with this code i can select file.
var f:FileReference;
f.browse(); // for selecting file (object)
and after that i will send that FileReference object to a PHP file and i upload via that PHP file.
but i want to upload file without using FileReference Class i am using File Class on Air 1.0 on Flash, and that class can provide full url of image from my HDD like: D:My Documentsimage01.jpg
there is any way to upload this file on my HDD to server without using browse() class for selecting file on Flash with PHP?
or is there one way to convert File Class (AIR) to FileReference?
I need to make a flash applet that automatically grabs a specific file on a user's system (iTunes XML file) and auto uploads it to my server. So far I have only been able to accomplish this with a user selecting the file, how to upload a specific file without the user having to go and find it.

View 1 RepliesAfter moving a web site to another server flash upload stopped working. After some debuging and isolating the problem I found out that in SWF file (used for multiple upload) FileReference.upload() method doesn't work. URL called by item.upload(_root.uploadScript) isn't called.
Here is the code:
flash:
listener.onSelect = function(fileRefList:FileReferenceList){
var list:Array = fileRefList.fileList;
var item:FileReference;
_root.toUploadCount = list.length;
[Code].....
It would appear that FileReference.upload() is the only way in which you can upload a file to the server in Flash and get feedback about its upload state via a PROGRESS callback. All other methods just go off into the ether and come back when the file upload is completed.
Unfortunately, FileReference appears to insist that a user select the file to be uploaded. There doesn't appear to be a mechanism by which to set the file through code. The reason I need this is that I'm allowing the user to upload massive files and am uploading them in chunks, so, I want to just pack a chunk of data into a FileReference (maybe 5 or 10 megs) and send that off and watch it go. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether it's possible to manually load data into a FileReference object? The data property is read-only, sadly.
I have a basic photo editor I am building in flash but I want the user to be able to load an image into flash before its output to the server. Can this be done or does it have to go to the server first then have flash load it from the server?

For the record I am running Flash CS4, but am using actionscript 2.0 (its just what I know, and I don't feel like learning 3.0)-So I'm making a contact list, and each of the names will be clickable to bring up more information. There's going to be a lot of names, so I'm trying to keep the actionscript concise. The code is shown below in a simplified form, but essentially I have created a variable for the hexadecimal color, and I have created a function which will change the text color of each of the name buttons. This works, I have tested it. But, I don't want to have to tell the function to run for every single name button
(eg. changeColor (option1 , testColor);
changeColor (option2 , testColor);
changeColor (option3 , testColor);
etc..)
SO - I tried to create a for loop that would run the changeColor function for each button without typing it a million times. The one below should run from "option1" to "option5" for instance. I originally tried entering the equation "option" + i as a parameter, but it did not work. So I tried the code below where the for loop creates a variable which is assigned the value option1, option2, etc. as it runs through the loop. I added the trace code, and it is showing me that MCname is holding the correct value. However, the changeColor function still refuses to insert the MCname variable as a parameter. The testColor parameter is a variable, and that will work, so why not the MCname one? I also tried replacing the MCname variable with the name of a button (option1) and it runs fine. I just don't want to type in every single option name for the entire list.Sorry for rambling, but I'm trying to fully explain the situation.. If the code is all correct, why won't the changeColor function accept a variable for the first parameter? Is there a way I can get this to work without having to copy and paste the changeColor(option, Color) code for every button (there could be over 100 options)
CODE:
var testColor:Number = 0x33ff00;
function changeColor(buttonName , myColor:Number){

I'm trying to get into flash game developing (without a programming background) and for my first project, I thought creating a simple game like Text 4 Dead (or Don't **** your pants) to be a good bet.Unfortunately, I don't know how to start it. Anyone has any idea how the developers of the mentioned games did it? Did they just created a bunch of frames on the timeline and every time someone writes the right words on the prompt it takes them to the next frame?And how do you create a prompt itself to accept the commands and guide you around the game?
