Flex :: URL Encoding When Downloading A File In Flash?
Aug 25, 2010
I have a flash app that needs to download a file, whose name contains UTF-8 characters.
Internally, the filename is read from a UTF-8 XML file, e.g. "my filé.pdf". The code goes something like this:
url = get_filename_from_XML();
req = new URLRequest( url );
ref = new FileReference();
ref.download( req );
The problem is that the URL is encoded in Latin1, i.e. the é is encoded as %E9 instead of %C3%A9 (according to FireBug). How can I get Flash to encode the URL correctly?

I need to figure out the size of a remote file before I download it.And I know that in local place this can be done as follows
var _filePath:String = "X:/save/abc.exe";
var file:File = new File(_filePath);
if (file.size > 1000)
[code]....
But when I tried a remote file like
var _filePath:String = "http://www.aaa.com/webfile.exe";
It didn't work.And how can I get the size of a remote file before I use
var _downLoadPath:String = "http://www.aaa.com/webfile.exe";

I'm trying to post data up to a server and have it bounced back to me as a file download, prompting the native browser file download box. I know the server part works just fine becasue I can post from a demo web form, but when I run the following Flex 3 code, I can't even get the request to fire.
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
private function saveXmlAsFile(event:MouseEvent):void

I'm making a flash portfolio site and learning as I go but have come across a bit of a road block.
I'm trying to allow people to click a button on my site and download my pdf resume. I've gotten it to open in a separate tab using "navigatetourl", but I'd like to also have a button which forces the download location prompt to appear.

I use this code to make an mp3 available on my site, I was wondering if there is any other way to do it? I'd like to avoid the "_blank" page opening.

So to get around Flash security issues, I have a script to upload files to S3 by sending it to a PHP script on my server which then uploads it to S3 with server-side PHP libraries.
Now, I'm looking for a solution to downloading a file from S3 in the same way. I suppose the best way to do it is to somehow make a PHP script that downloads the file from S3, then sends it back to the Flash client?
But the one thing is, I don't want the file to hang around--I'd like to delete it when the process is done. I suppose I can just have the Flash client call another PHP script on the server that deletes the file after the load is finished.

I've recently upgraded to CS5 and the Media Encoder creates incredibly HUGE files compared to the CS4 media encoder.
For example, I can convert a 15MB mpg file to a 12 MB flv file in CS4 using the preset "FLV same as source"
I do not find a matching preset in CS5, but tried "FLV - match source atributes (medium quality)" Encoding the same file in CS5 with this preset results in 170MB file.
I've tried adjusting the settings, comparing the options in both versions, and I still can't get a reasonably sized file out of the CS5 media encoder.
This seems really broken to me. A 170 MB file is not useful in any way. Do I have bad presets?
Adobe Media Encoder version is 5.0.1.0 (32-bit)

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?).

I'm wondering if there is an encoding like UTF8/16 that can account for characters that are bold, italic, underlined, and super/sub-scripted? If not, is it under consideration by the powers that be? Reason for the question is that I have a large excel file where many cells contain rtf text such as italics, bold, superscript; and I need to access the information on a row-by-row basis. I know I can save the file in html or xml, but I would like to import the data into MySQL - keeping the formatting - and then being able to access the data a row at a time.
I've considered using Markdown or Textile, but that means a whole lot of time changing each cell - we're talking about 5,000 records. Also, I want to continue to use Flex and I'm not sure if Flex can display html formatted text in their text controls because of their their text engine...

Some text (or html) document from web is not encoded as UTF-8, so I want to convert encoding of text document to UTF-8. Do you have any clues for dealing with text encoding?
And I found that, when application draws element with encoding-broken text (such as "º ½¾ ±"), the application is often killed with alert dialog "adl quit unexpectedly". How can I make my application more endurable.

I am trying to encode certain values that I receive from keyboard event. Basically I want to check if a certain key combination has been pressed or not, so for that I am converting the key codes into sequence/pattern and store it in an object and a value(function) against each code sequence. Now I have to use four bytes and in first byte(MSB) I've to store shift, alt, ctrl respectively and in the last(LSB) I have to store the keycode of the key pressed.
Here is the code:
private function m_encodeValue(key:String, Ctrl:Boolean = true, Alt:Boolean = true, Shift:Boolean = false):uint {
var encodedValue:uint;
encodedValue = uint(Shift) << 2 | uint(Alt) << 1 | uint(Ctrl);
encodedValue = encodedValue | (uint(key.toUpperCase().charCodeAt(0)) << 24);
return encodedValue;
}

I want to post data to a URL on my server from a Flex app. I am using the following
UrlParam = UrlParam + '&name='+ name.text + '&business=' + buisness.text; navigateToURL(new URLRequest(UrlParams),'_self');
The problem I am having however is that if I enter a business with an ampersand ("A&b.com") then the name does not send. Does Flex have anything out of the box to do the encoding from & to %26?

I need to compress video image data (lets say a display object) in AS3 to a Byte Array with high compression at runtime. Framerate only needs to be around 5 but 1024x768 video needs to go to < 40 Kilobyte per Second without the quality being too bad. I wrote a custom encoder and got it to around 80-100 Kilobyte per Second for 1024*768 which still is too much and I don't see a lot of improvements to be mad to my encoder.
Using JPG or PNG Encoder gives way higher KB/s. Is there any open source way to to decode and encode video in as3 at runtime ? E.g. a H.264 as3 encoder and decoder ? Or other codecs? Or maybe a C# source code of h.264 encoder and decoder ? I think I could port it to as3. Doesnt need to be h.264, just something with good quality when running at 5 Frames/Sec and 40 Kilobyte...

I embed a text file into my Flex project and read its contents using code like this:[code]The contents of the file is abc. The problem is that the string loaded from the file is not comparable to other strings even though when printed or viewed in the debugger (in FlashDevelop) it seems to be perfectly fine.[code]How do I convert it into a proper string? I tried to use the string methods such as substring to create a copy, but that does not seem to be the solution.

I've got a crossdomain.xml file which allows SWFs running on only a certain few domains to download resources from my domain. However, one simple way around this is for a user to download the SWF to their local machine, and run it there (i.e. by double-clicking on it within Windows Explorer, not by running through [url]... It seems that when this happens, the crossdomain.xml file is ignored.[code]...
Is it possible to do something on the server side to stop a locally running SWF to download from my site? I tried checking the referrer but this field often isn't populated.
