Is there anyway to download a file with the URLLoader and then save it to the disk without using filereference or anything that uses a dialog? This is what I have but isn't working:

Possible Duplicate: losing extension when use FileReference download I'm having an issue that looks common when using the FileReference class in FP10 when saving a file. The whole thing works fine as long as I don't change the default filename. If I do, then I loose the extension of the file... which is annoying >_< I haven't found any "acceptable" workaround, but the posts I've seen are from a couple of months already. So I'm inquiring hoping that something's been done regarding this issue since then =)
View 1 Repliesi've got a pic gallery from kirupa which i modified a bit.I've added a download button with filereference. The thing is everthing works when the download button is pressed.But if somebody wants to download a picture and wants to change the name the file isn't recognised because the extension is lost.Flash doesnt read after the dot (example .jpg). If you dont change the name of the file which you save it keeps its extension.
here's my code for the download and the link
Code:
/////////////////////////////////////
// DOWNLOAD CODE
import flash.net.FileReference;[code]....
ive tried to put it like this but it doesnt work
Code:
function downloadPICT(){
fileRef.download(url+download[p]+".jpg");
}
PS download[p] is read from an XML file its the link to the downloadfile, which looks like this
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

View 6 RepliesCan I develop a Flash AS3 download swf that will let a user select a location on their hard drive to download files to and then start the download of multiple files (in the same way I can do with upload)? Or should I zip all the multiple files first and download zipped files to local disk. My users will want to download potentially hundreds of images from a server to local disk so I dont want them to have to click save for each one. Will AS3 let me pass an array of filenames and store the location that the user originally chooses? I ask because this sounds like it would have been not allowed for security reasons.

The code below compiles fine on the Flex 4 SDK on Fedora 15. Mouse-click opens the dialog box, I click okay, and a file is saved, but the file is empty. I run the same SWF file (that was compiled on the Linux machine) on a Windows machine, and the created file contains the expected data. I was thinking there was a permissions problem, but if that were so, why should Linux even let me save the file? It is going to slow things down immensely if I cannot code something and test it on the same machine...

I'm using Filereference.save() to save a XML file. It's working fine with default filename.But is there a way to force a file extension on the saved file? I'm using "untitled.xml" as the default filename, but if the user changes it to say "myfile", it gets saved as "myfile", rather than "myfile.xml".

View 1 Replieslimiting or correcting the behaviour of FileReference.save isn't possible.Can anyone suggest an alternative (server is Apache/PHP) that matches all of my criteria from this post and avoids the pitfalls I discussed with Jacob?I'm saving an image from my AS3 app using FileReference.save(). This is the code, which works fine:[code]This opens up the save file dialog as expected. I'm using this rather than sending the byteData to PHP because I want the user to have a familiar dialog box that lets them set their own file name.
The problem comes when users have their operating system configured to display file extensions, like I do. This means that in the save dialog the file name contains the extension as seen in the image below, and so it is very easy for the user to delete that extension when they rename the file. Because the default file type for this box is 'All files', if the extension is deleted the file is saved with no type.I don't know of any way to force a file type on the save dialog (if there is one that would be my preferred route) so failing that can anyone suggest a safe way for me to do this that still allows the user to set the file name themselves using a standard dialog for their OS?I did try putting in a call to FileReference.browse() before the save() as shown in this tutorial, but that throws an error because you can only perform one FileReference call at a time.

I'm using FileReference to retrieve an exported CSV file from the server. The fileReference.download(url, "myFilename.csv") method call seems to be working and I can download the file.
The only problem with this is that I can't seem to be able to set the file filter. In my save dialog, the file type filter is always *.*, which is really bad. The user trying to save the file has to manually type in the .csv extension. How do I change the filter of the dialog box to only show *.csv and not

I have a flash app that uses the FileReference download method to serve up download links. Many of the links come from big content delviry networks and a crossdomain policy file is required to avoid a security error. This all works fine. Except for redirects in IE... in FF redirects work.
A typical Charles log in FF looks like this....
Code:
1) 302: download file temporarily moved
2) 302: download file found
3) 200: download file received OK
[Code].....
....the request for the crossdomain policy file is not being made in IE & thus flash blocks access to the download (client closed connection). The flash throws the traditional 2048 security error - which is what I'd expect if no crossdomain is available. It's worth noting that downloads without a redirect work fine in IE, the crossdomain is requested & received.
As far as I can make out there is no way to force "checkPolicyFile" with FileReference - it doesn't take a LoaderContext object. I'm at a loss of what I can do to resolve this without putting a proxy on our webserver (the backend guru will not allow this as the downloads can be quite large & he thinks will end up being a huge bottleneck).

View 1 RepliesI need user download JPEG file from my app, however, when user change the file name the saved file will be downloaded without extension.
For Example: I am using FileReference.download() and set the default filename as "demoPic.jpg" and user's windows system setting control file extension not being shown. So when the dialog opens a download window, only "demoPic" shown as the filename. If user saved file without changing filename, the saved file will be OK. But if user change file name, the download file will be saved without extension. is it possible to add file extension to filename when user forget it by flex code?
I need to allow a user to download images from my app, but everytime a user attempts to download, the extension is stripped from the filename I provide.This is only happening in Firefox & IE on Windows. It's working just fine on OSX.
I'm using FileReference.download(), and specifying the filename as "imageX.jpg". However, when the file dialog opens on Windows to save the document, only "imageX" is shown as the filename, and the extension is never saved. In the "Save As type..." field, there is only the "*.*" option available.
The majority of our users aren't technically savvy, so a lot of them don't realize that if they put a .jpg extension on the file they just downloaded, they'll be able to view the image.
I am using this code to download a file from a server (podcast episode mp3) but I click the submit button and nothing happens. The text field shows "Downloading episode X" but nothing happens, no browse-to-save window pops up or anything. Here is my entire code, no external.It simply uses AMFPHP to drawback results to see if the podcast episode exists. If it returns a 1, the fileReference download is triggered. I'm pretty sure the rest of the code is fine, its just the "localRef.download(requestF);" bit that seems to be doing nothing.[Code].....

I've built an audio player that is fed via an xml file. Users can use a 'previous' or 'next' button to select which track to listen to and then play it and this is all fine and works as it should.

I am trying to use fileReference.download to allow users to download content from my site. The problem is, when I test it in Flash, it works flawlessly. When I publish it and upload it to my server it doesn't download. It'll bring up the download box... but it wont initiate the download. What I am doing is dynamically creating text boxes using the amount of XML nodes in my xml file. It will then assign the proper download file to that text box/download button.
its just not initiating the download in my browser.

I'm trying to get my flash movie to allow the user to download a file of a specific extension, at the moment i use:
[Code]....
Two problems:
a) If the user changes the file name in the browser before clicking save (and doesn't re-add the .xml extension) then the file is saved without an extension
b) Randomly, tested on two windows xp systems both in IE one included the extension in the filename on the browser download window and one didn't (which doesn't make it clear to the user they have to include the extension as part of the name) but both saved to the correct xml extension file
a) If there is a work around so I can specify the exact file type, in the adobe reference manual it states you can parse in extra parameters to server with the file location to download. How would i do this?
b) If can't do a, how can I get it to always display the extension in the browser download window (unlike in problem b )
I've been searching through code FOREVER and can't find anything helpful or functional yet. Right now I have a page that downloads a file to the user's computer when you click a button. But, I want to create a loader so that the user can follow the progress of their download as well as a way to go to the next frame on the main timeline when the download is complete.
