The web designer on a project is using Flash Gallery which loads a images.xml file. The SWF expects it to be in the same directory as the .html file. So if I am at the action /Public/Home/Gallery, it would expect the images.xml to be in at Public/Home.
How do I allow the Flash SWF to load the file? I have no access to the source code, so I cannot change the behaviour of the SWF.
when I use the Request.InputStream in MVC3 action method to save the file sent by action script I got a corrupted file. When I used firebug to trace the request I realized that the Content-type is "application/x-amf" and has the file name at the end of the stream. knowing that I can't change the action script I need a way to save the file correctly to disk.

A preferred solution would be with actionscript alone (I know some things like this are possible with php etc.) and without prior knowledge of where the SWF file is saved at author time. And the finished product will not be in a browser because I know that there is no way around it like that, maybe an AIR application or something
I've tried some stuff such as
Code:
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("C:UsersPublicMusicSample MusicKalimba.mp3"));
etc, but the problem is obviously that it cannot find this directory in the folder where it was saved
When 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.

What methods could I use to save a xml generated in flash into the same directory as the swf file?
I know I can use "FileReference.save()" for flash player 10. But this has prompt window that appears and lets the user choose where to save. I just want it to automatically save in the directory of the flash file.
When I upload file using a simple uploader the file does not appear on the servers directory..Everything is working, the preloader the status text etc, as if it is uploading the file but nothing appears on the server I am not very sound in php The code goes like this:-
Code:
Select allSystem.security.allowDomain("http://localhost/");
//import the FileReference Object
import flash.net.FileReference;
//initial settings - since no upload file type selet yet user cannot upload a file
uploadButn.enabled = false;
//create a new FileReference object
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();

I have given a folder called uploads on the server and that is where files are supposed to come. Also I have given the correct name of php file which is upload.php in the fileRef.upload But its not working.

I 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

I have a main swf file and config.xml located in the same directory. My .swf file uses config.xml to fetch config variable which it does with success.The problem appears when I put those files into Flex directory. I embed .swf file like this.
<mx:Image id="loading" source="@Embed('/blobs/visualLogo/mySwfFile.swf')"
visible="true" horizontalCenter="0"/>
I also place config.xml into /blobs/visualLogo/
This time I get an error in Flex:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

I am doing some testing with various methods of deep linking in a flash site and have created a test site with the following structure:
/index.html
/simple.swf
/two/index.html
three/index.html
The index.html file located at the root of the site loads the simple.swf file using an absolute reference to the file (view the source of [URL]). The index.html file located in directories "two" and "three" are exactly the same as the index.html file in the root directory with the exception that I have added a defined a "base" parameter pointing to "../". [Right now, I am passing the same "flashvars" parameter in each of these files, however, once I resolve this issue, I will change the flashvars value.]
For some reason, the simple.swf file loads in the root level index.html file but not in the index.html file located in directories "two" or "three". I am confused why this is not working since I am using an absolute reference to the file. The only possible meaningful difference I can see is that the simple.swf file is only located in the root directory.
i'm trying to make a Top Score history for a flash game, which i load from an XML file. The problem comes to when i want to update the XML file. how do i do that automatically without prompting the user (ofcourse). I want it to be saved automatically to the same directory as the flash file.
here's my code right now, but it prompts the user where it wants to be saved, which i don't want to happen:
var xml:XML = <XML>
<topScoreList>
</topScoreList>

why FLVPlayback isn't working properly in MVC views?I think i narrowed it down to the "hard coded" skin url file not being correct. Where should I put the skin file( e.g.skinOverAllNoCaption.swf)so that flash can find it?Or are there any alternative approaches to somehow setting the skin file dynamically.
View 1 RepliesI downloaded the Sothink SWF Decompiler, which allows you to open and view the structure of a .swf file. (the unregistered version limits the amount of actionscript you can view). It even can resave as a .fla file. Does it concern anyone that when you host your Flash code and applictions, it is basically open sourced, whether you want it to be or not?

My insuffiecient knowledge about AS2 craves some teaching: I want to know how to add an action to a button within my scene to make it download a file, which is located in the same folder as the .fla and exported .swf. In this case its going to be a .pdf, but I guess my main point is that I just want it to download the file. It should work in both Firefox and Internet Explorer (I don't know if the script has to be different or not?).

The powers that be have decided a project I'm working on shouldn't go on a website after all, but needs to be on a CD for Windows users instead and of course I only have a couple of days to made the "relevant tweaks" as they call them.It needs to run directly from the CD so I presume AIR isn't a good option.I've got all of it working by publishing to a Windows Projector executable. The bit I'm stuck with is allowing users to click buttons to open various directories which will be on the CD. These are source files for following tutorials from the main part of the CD. I've tried playing around with the various options in the FileReference class (namely browse() and download()), but they seem to be set up for use online only.
