Is it possible download a file in an AIR application, store it on the user's system, and prohibit access to the files by applications other than the one with which it was downloaded?
View 3 RepliesI have a few buttons rigged up for downloading word.doc, mp3 etc
Problem is its opening the file rather than giving a download this file option.
I'm new to flex. Now I'm writing an flex application. I plan to split my application into some MXML files(Application as the root tag). How can I switch from one mxml to another?BTW, what is the best practice for design large flex application? Just one MXML Application and many MXML component or many MXML Application?
View 1 RepliesSo I basically have used the fileReference class to allow the user to download a determined file if he wants to.
I use the file.download(URL) function and it works well.
However, the file is downloaded and saved to the hard drive using only the flash player. The browser is not aware of the download, and thus, if I want to show the progress of the download I'd have to make some progress bar myself. I know how to do it, but it would become really tedious and take too much UI space.
Isn't there a damn way in Flash to "send" a determined file to the browser so that it prompts the user to download it? It's an image file, so navigateToURL doesn't cut it since it will just display the image, both if I use a new tab or the current one.
In my AIR app, I have a list of file that needs to be downloaded from remote server. I want to make this download happen sunchronously. [code]...
View 1 Replieshow to download a pdf file with HTTPService?
I do that

I'm getting an anoying problem in IE6.02 when trying to download a file through flex + struts action, the browser opens a new window and doesn't close it after the download has finished.
The flex code is:
navigateToURL(url,"_blank");
The content headers are:
HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:00:44 GMT
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: application-download;
charset=UTF-8
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=myfile.pdf
X-Powered-By: Servlet/2.4 JSP/2.0
Also, we tried with
Content-Type: application/pdf; charset=UTF-8
How do I close the new opened window automatically? In FF works perfectly.
My Flex client app has got some data from the back end (RemoteObjects, BlazeDS, Spring). Client has got all the data it needs, it now needs to put some information in a CSV format and make it available for download.Using Flex 3 for this.
View 2 RepliesI am building an Adobe Air Mobile application currently targeting Android (and eventually iOS). I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 (which is Flex).I have a requirement to download a zip file from a url, save it to local storage and unzip the contents.There seem to be a few example on how to do a download in Flex/Air, but not many in Flex/Air/Mobile. Additionally, the mix of examples seem to be all over the place with namespace versions, etc. Edit: What I've tried:So, from the examples on the web, the first thing I did was add namespace in Flex declarations: xmlns:net="flash.net.*" Then I added the following component: <net:URLLoader id="urlLoader" /> Then, in the button click event, I called it: urlLoader.load(new URLRequest(downloadUrl)); I get a run time error: Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.

View 1 RepliesI'd like to have Flex trigger the browser to download a PDF file from a server, but if anything goes wrong with the script that generates the file I want to be able to throw a meaningful error from Flex. Is it at all possible to try to open the URL in Flex first and check the response's HTTP status or Content-Type, then if it's a PDF file and not an error pass it up to the browser to display the "Save File..." dialog?

Instead of a word document with image and text.
The code flow is as follows: user clicks 'download details' button on the page -> on button click handler a call to a RPC method is made using s:CallResponder -> RPC method generates and returns a URL from where to download the file -> the success event handler of the CallResponder gets the url where FileRefrence.download() is used to download the file but throws following error:-
Error: Error #2176: Certain actions, such as those that display a pop-up window, may only be invoked upon user interaction, for example by a mouse click or button press.

I wonder how can I download/save/write a file from my server to a client's computer using flash or flex.
Sign up

Click on the ("FREE") button placed on the right of the page. (the

then you'll see a confirmation popup for the download, then you choose where do you want to save the file, and the flash movie saves the file!

View 2 RepliesProblem: An XML configuration file needs to be loaded at runtime and be ready when the application's createChildren() gets called. At the latest, because configuration values are needed to properly initialize child components. Preferably, I would like the configuration loading be complete before the application even gets created. In short, I want to do this: load configuration, then initialize the application using the loaded configuration.
I created a custom preloader to help solve this. But as it turns out, the application's createChildren() method already gets called during preloading, when the configuration is not yet guaranteed to be loaded. That is, before the custom preloader dispatches the COMPLETE event.
I have trouble getting it to copy file from src to destination.
var asMsg_path:String = fileRef.nativePath;
var origFileLoc:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(asMsg_path);
