View 1 RepliesHow to store data locally using Flex 3 in web applications. Without using backend or using shared object.
I came to know that there is something called Data Management in Flex 3. And it is not for AIR application.
is there anyway to store a file(an XML in this case) locally on a computer WITHOUT using a PHP server running on the computer. Im develpoing an application for both Mac OS and windows so it needs to be a solution that will work for both.

View 5 RepliesI have a flash project that uses an XML doc for data. The URL's in the XML load fine locally, but when published and placed online, they do not load. Is a policy file needed? If so, how do you do that?
View 1 RepliesI'm using BulkLoader to load a single XML, parsing this, extracting out a list of images on another server (amazon), adding them to BulkLoader and loading them in.
this all works great running in the Flash IDE but as soon as it's uploaded the xml loads, parses BulkLoaders starts but non of the images load.
I assume it's a security issue but linking to these images from the local or from a html page works fine just not from Flash from a server.
The app itself will require some data from an online database to be downloaded and stored locally, so that the kiosk can be safely disconnected from the internet while running, and reconnected later to update its data.I'm currently trying to figure out the best way to do this. I figured that the data's easily enough loaded from a server-side PHP script and saved to a local SQLite database for offline usage, but I haven't been able to find any solid method of downloading and saving images. At least, not without using a save dialog.
View 1 RepliesI am using an array to store images that I load from xml. I have an enterframe event that transforms the image, it changes the width. I have used concat to make a "copy" of the array of images. When I try to access the first array of the "untouched" images the width is changed. How can I always have a "fresh" array of the images?
View 3 RepliesI'm going to show a bunch of images in a slideshow.Since everybody hate waiting for things to load, I thought it would be a good idea to load all the images in the background while the user is clicking on other things. - user enters page-- design and menues are loaded--- the page is showed to the user---- images used in other parts of the flash-site is loading "behind the scenes".When the user finally open the slideshow, he/she don't have to wait for the images to load.This is my code:
Code:
function downloadImages(i:uint = 0) {
trace("- Downloading portfolio images");

I have the jist of how to load external images into as3. One thing that I do not understand is how to pull all the images needed and store them so that when you want to view a specific image it is not loading the image again.
I need help on how to pull about 10 images externally and store them in to movieclips or something so that when I roll over a button to display this image it will just call the movieclip and display the movie clip with a preloaded image already. I am also doing this dynamically.
Is there an advantage to store loaded images into a sprite?
var container:Sprite = new Sprite();addChild(container);var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();var pictURL:String = "banana.jpg"var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pictURL);pictLdr.load(pictURLReq);pictLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imgLoaded);function imgLoaded(event:Event):void{ container.addChild(pictLdr.content);}
I've made an image gallery which loads images from an XML-specified folder. My function doGallery(urlPath); is using an URL-Path as an argument, which allows me to load new images and create a new gallery with these at runtime.The function will store loader objects in a gallery array, which is then cleared and overwritten once a new gallery with new images are made.So far so good. However it seems as if I have to re-download the same images as I have already once loaded, if I decide to go back to a previously visited gallery. I assume this is because I overwrite and clear the array which contains my previous loaders. Could anyone confirm this and possibly offer a solution? I hope I'm making myself clear enough for you to grasp my issue here.
View 0 RepliesI want a user running a Flash game on his machine (not from a server) to be able to save some game data locally.From what I've read, there still isn't any way to do this, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone knows a sneaky xml or php work around.
View 2 Replieswhat is best method to store multiple images (layers) , so user can read(load) again and continue work.
currently doing this - each layer is stored as png file. with one text file contain all layers name etc
create one big png file, put all data in it as tiles. read tiles while loading..
create some custom format.
ideally, i wanted to implement c. but i need some guidance about where to start from.my mind always tells me that, logically it should be simple as..

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to read the width and height of a locally loaded image. This seems to work for images that do not exceed the dimensions limited by the Flash Player 10 [URL], but as soon as the images are bigger, the width and height remain 0. The strange thing is that now and then, I can read the dimension of these bigger images, but most of the times not. I understand that this might be because of the player limitation, but then I would at least expect the error to be consistent.
I want to check this since there is no use in loading such a big image as it will not be displayed anyway, but it would be good to provide a detailed error message to the user.
Here's the code that I use to load the image locally and read the dimension:
private function chooseImageButton_clickHandler(event:Event):void {
var allowedTypes:String = "*.jpg;*.png";
m_uploadFileReference = new FileReference();
m_uploadFileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT,

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.
I'm writing a flex 4.5 application that's supposed to capture a video from a webcam and audio from microphone and save it in some video format (i don't care which format).

View 1 RepliesI see this type of apparent magic in all sorts of AS3 code, but here is a reduced example:
[Code]...
As indicated in the code comment, the loader variable should fall out of scope after the URLLoaderExample constructor. However... it still seems to be kept alive (not garbage collected) somewhere since the onComplete listener/handler is able to receive it cleanly. Where is the magic/hidden/global reference to loader that keeps it alive so that it can complete it's load operation, and then be handed to the onComplete listener/callback? Can this reference be seen somewhere?
To help with context... as a similar example, I know that the loader instance will have the onComplete listener registered. I also know I need to be careful to use removeEventListener at all times (?) to avoid potential memory leaks resulting from stranded listeners. What concerns me is that I don't understand where the magic loader reference is and whether (or when) I need to clean that up.
I need to download a file for example say, a pdf file from a url and store it in applicationsDirectory or ApplicationStorage directory, I have a code to download but its opening save dialog box to get the userinput for where to save the downloaded file. This is the code that I am using

configureListeners(file);
file.download(downloadURL);
I need to download the file with out opening any window, and file needs to be downloaded to ApplicationStorage directory.
I am a Flex newbie and I'm developing a Flex application that needs to talk to an AMF server in order to authenticate the user.Where should I store the server URL? I don't want to hardcode it in the source code, but the URL should be fixed at compile time, because when I compile the app it should be tied to a specific server.
View 3 RepliesI am working on an StoryBoarding application,it is a slide based application in which the authors can put several components like image , sound , captions etc in each of the slide.A collection of slides will make a storyboard.This application will be deployed on a web server (sharepoint + IIS , and php+apache), and several users can collaborate with each other for authoring or reviewing the storyboard.In my application I also want to support auto save ,which will keep on storing the state of the storyboard.User can also save at any point of time by clicking the save button.I am confused about how to store the state of the storyboard.
1)Presently I am doing this by passing all the storyboard data to a dot net web-service and then that service is storing images,caption etc in their respective tables into a database .2)Another approach possible is to store the model of the application as a serialized object into the db , which will be more convenient since separating the components of the model (like images,captions etc..) will not be required and also restoring the state of the objects in the application will be easy . I have two doubts about using approach 2 :-i) I want the the saved storyboard to load quickly, for which I would like to support the partial so that lighter objects like caption can be loaded quickly but other heavier objects like image,video etc can be loaded on demand. Using approach 2 , do I have to send the whole data in one go or is there way to support partial loading ?
