Flash, Loading Files & Temp Internet Files
Hi guys,
I have a problem with files getting stored in the Temp folder of a client's machine.

When I host an SWF file on a site, that swf file gets downloaded to the client's (in this case , my) machine in the Temporary Internet Files. Now, if that same SWF is loading a text file or an XML file stored on the server to read data, using either LoadVars.load() or XML.load() method and a relative URL as path, that text or XML file also gets stored in the Temp files of the client machine.

I wanted to know, is there a way to prevent the text files and XML files from getting downloaded to client machines ? Or is that the way the load method works ?

If the swf files has a need to make repeated loads of the same file, will it read from this downloaded file or will it make repeated calls to the server ?

Please tell me if I can clarify the problem more.
Thanks for your help

Using A Network Folder For Hosting Flvs Instead Of _definst_
How can I set up FMS to look at a network shared folder that has the flv files in it instead of using the _definst_ folder in the streams folder? I was reading through this post, http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=578&threadid=1343625&enterthread=y but I wasn't able to make sense of exactly what I needed to do. Thanks.

Temp Files Refresh
I'm working on a html site and i have a flash section. I update the flash section alot and i find that i need to go to the url for the flash movie for it to refresh. I think that is because it is saved in the temp files and it doesn't check to see if its new. Is there a way i can make it so my swf doesn't get into the temp files or atleas make it so it refreshes the temp file all the time?

.swf In Temp Internet Files
Hi,

I've been using flash eversince version 4. and when I usually embed it to html. and upload the site and look at the browser, it typically saves the .swf file in to your temporary internet files. then, as macromeda flash 4 becomes more powerful and gaining world knowledge, flash sites have been made, and typically all you have to do if you want to collect all flash animations is to look them at you temp int files folder and save those .swfs. It doesn't really need a tool to save .swf back by then.

then lately, all sites that have flash do not save in your TIF folder, I sure wanna know how to do this. I always have experience that when I start my works, in my own PC, the old .swf still plays in my live site, even if i already erased the old .swf in my web hosting and uploaded the new .swf, the old animation still plays.

up to now, all of the websites i have made that has flash do not have these thing that it doesn't fall into the TIF folder, so if someone visits my site, then i momentarily change the flash animation into a new, probably because of corrections and animation improvements, the visitor wouldn't instantly see it because the old .swf stays in his PC.

Thanks

Playing Sound Without Temp Files...
I've been working on a page that will display links to sounds with a search.

Is there a way that I can play these sounds without having the sounds appear in the temp. internet folder or the like?

Temp. Internet Files Problem?
I have a flash file named primary.swf and I loaded it onto my server along with another flash file that loads primary.swf into it's movie. I have two other external .swfs that I load the same way as well. But, with the name 'primary.swf', when I load it, it does not go into my temporary internet files.. does anyone know why? I changed the file name and all the actionscript with it to 'primary1.swf' and uploaded it, and it worked fine. Can anyone help me on this? Your help would be very appreciated.

Linking To Files That Are In The Folder That Hold The Folder Where Ur File Is
i'm trying to get my website to run as it would on the internet but not actually on the internet for a college exhibition. most of my website is in one flash doc but a few pages are seperate that hold some media. all the pages are in one folder (except one) and link to each other with this code:

on (release) {
getURL("whateverfile.htm");
}

the other page is my music page, which is in a folder within the folder that all the other pages are in. to get to the music page from the rest of my website, i did this:

on (release) {
getURL("musicfolder/mymusic.htm");
}

if you even know what im talking about how to i get back out of that folder to the main folder with a link to the main website page?

this is what i tried:

on (release) {
getURL("websitefolder/mywebsite.htm");
}

it didnt work.
i'm quite new to action scrpiting, as in i started learning 3 days ago. im more of an animator to be honest. thanks

Dynamic Jpgs, And Temp Internet Files...?
okay, so I have made a wee image gallery for a client who is all sensitive about her photos being stolen!
When you dynamically load a jpg into flash does flash download the image onto your pc separately, or is it all tied up with the swf?

Basically could you go into the temp internet files and find the .jpgs?

Flash Media Server Temp Files
Hi all,

Maybe this topic has been asked and answered before. But I have not found relevant information on this issue. So there it is:

I found out that when the FMS service is running, it creates a lot of temporily files in the c:windows empdirectory (the files are created in the name of mx_???.tmp where the ??? is hexadecimal value). I wonder is there any way to configure this including changing the directory and as well as set the number of tmp files where it can create.

Furthermore, there may be a bug whereby after the service is manually stopped, the temporily fies are still being created by the services.exe where i believe is caused by a unsucessfully termination of thread(s). Please verify this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Clearing Temp Files Removes Flash Plugin
Like the title says, very time i clear the cache (Tools: Internet Options: Delete Files:Delete all Offline Content)in IE 6 it removes the flash plugin. As the cache clears i see it removing something called Getflash.exe. I'm totally confused, this has never happened before when i clear the temp files, has anyone come across this before ?, thanks.

Flash EXE Files With FLVs
Hi,
I have an Flash file saved as an EXE which contains a couple of FLVs. The video and sound play fine when you open the EXE directly. In fact, it plays fine when you open it directly from wherever I put it (file server, web server, etc). But people will access this EXE from a link on a web page, when you click on that link, which then opens the EXE file, the video and sound will not play. I am stumped - and I'm far from being a Flash video expert. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks,
S Ankerbrand

FileReference Wont Upload Flvs Files?
hey guys

for some reason the code im using wont upload flv files, ive tried .doc files and .jpg and .gif and .txt files and they all work. Any reasons or code fixes for this? (i just modifed this guys tutorial to work with all files)

http://70.250.195.148/PHP/uploader/upload.swf

Code:


//Allow this domain
System.security.allowDomain("http://localhost/");
import flash.net.FileReference;
var listener:Object = new Object();

listener.onSelect = function(selectedFile:FileReference):Void {
  selectedFile.upload("upload.php");
};
// the file has uploaded
listener.onComplete = function(selectedFile:FileReference):Void {
  // Notify the user that Flash is starting to download the image.
  statusArea.text += "Upload finished." + selectedFile.name + " to player
";
};

var theFile:FileReference = new FileReference();
theFile.addListener(listener);

uploadBtn.onPress = uploadImage;
imagePane.addEventListener("complete", imageDownloaded);

// Call the uploadImage() function, opens a file browser dialog.
function uploadImage(event:Object):Void {
  theFile.browse();
}

stop();


and here is the php code

Code:


<?php
//create the directory if doesn't exists (should have write permissons)

Initializing Movie: Several Flash Movies, Same Folder?
Hi guys,

I'm trying to do the "initializing movie" tutorial and I'm having some trouble. When I click the button on the main page, "movie one" loads immediately (the actual "initializing movie" animation never shows up). .

I thought this was happening quickly because all the files were on my local drive (I've made "movie one" 4 mb so, I'm sure it's not because it is small). I tried uploading them to my remote server and calling the page up in my browser but now, when I click on the button, nothing happens. I've got all the files in the same folder so, I'm not sure what's going on.

Does anyone know where I may be going wrong?

Thanks very much,

Referencing ASP Files In Folder
This should be an easy one --

Say my main site with html and swf is in
inetpub/wwwroot

And I want the SWF file to use ASP that I put in
inetpub/wwwroot/aspscripts

How do I reference them in the loadVars calls?

Do I just do say

myLoadVars.load("/aspscripts/whatever.asp",,"POST");

or do I need to do it another way? I dont think the above works for me..

thanks

Enumerate Files In A Folder Using AS 2.0?
I have a frame in my Flash project where I want to show a different pic for every day of the year based on the current Julian day of the year. The pics are kept in a separate folder and each pic has a random name but ends in a number that identifies what day of the year it should be displayed (i.e 244, 320, etc).

My question is, is there a way to enumerate the files in the folder using AS? I've searched everywhere and it looks like I'll have to use an external JS function for this but I want the SWF file to be completely self contained. I want to be able to randomly add and remove pictures to and from the folder without manually updating the code in the FLA file.

One workaround would be to store all of the file names in a text file and import the text file into a variable, but I would not need to do that if AS 2.0 can enumerate the folder's contents for me.

Can Flash Tell Me How Many Files Are In A Folder?
Hey People

ok so this what I wanna do. I want to make a dynamic website which reads a certain folder(or perhaps just a certain set of files ie. graphicxx.jpg upwards) and depending on that create said amount of buttons or links or whatever.

Can flash look in a folder and see how many files there are in that folder and return a numerical value?

Can Flash See How Many Files There Are In A Folder?
Is there any way to tell flash (alone) to count the files in a specific folder? I'm loading some images from a folder and the quantity of files is not constant, so instead of editing the text file (I'm grabbing information from that via LoadVars) each time, can I get the number of files with flah, without any eternal script?

Thanks in advance.

Looping Through All The Files In A Folder
Hi

I'm totally new to Flash (usually I do print and video stuff), but have been asked to put together a simple photo gallery on CD for somebody, largely as a favour. I bought a template from ohmyflash.com (have emailed them about this but so far, nothing) which can be viewed here:

http://www.ohmyflash.com/gallery/124/124a.html

The way they've set it up (which I didn't realise at the time) is for the images to be numbered 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc. There's a variable which sets how many images it's looking for, and then it loads them up. If it tries to load one it can't find, you just get a blank.

Anyway. The images we have are all named in a specific way (eg "Aleksander Nevsky Cathedral 1, Toompea, Tallinn, Estonia.jpg"). The ideal would be to set the template up with a caption field, so it does this:

for each (file in folder) {
if (filetype is jpeg) {
// display thumbnail
}
}

thumbnail.onClick {
// display larger image
// set image caption to the filename minus the .jpg
}

I'm pretty familiar with PHP, ASP and JavaScript, but ActionScript isn't making a lot of sense to me, and I can't work out how to do this. I suppose a neater way would be to use XML, but this template isn't set up to use XML. If you can help me do this, I'd be massively grateful. I'm using Flash CS3, so compatibility shouldn't be a problem. The existing ActionScript code is pasted below.

Thanks in advance

Is There A Way To Get Flash To Tell You Which Files Are In A Folder?
In Director you could do this:
getNthFileInFolder(n) was the syntax from memory (running inside a loop that was initiated via getting the number of files in the folder).

Can Flash do this? This would be for an exe file as the final output.

All I'd need returned is a list of filenames.

At the moment I'm numbering my text files - 01.txt, 02.txt, 03.txt etc... I can find out how many files there are by doing a loadVars inside a massive loop until I get a load failure, but it'd be better to be able to name the files according to what they contain and have Flash just look at how many there are and what their filepath or filenames are.

Thanks for any help,

List Files In Folder
Hi.

Is there a way to get a list of the files in a specific folder? For example, if I want to build an array with the names of the .jpgs in the "my_images/holidays" local folder, so I can load them orderly in a swf, how could I get them?

Thank you in advance.

Number Of Files In A Folder?
I've been working on a cd-oriented interactive portfolio, using flash for some time now. I plan to have graphics, movies, and website sections to it. With each section, I'm dynamically loading a bunch of thumbnails from a specified folder (using thumb1.jpg, thumb2.jpg, etc), which, of course, load a full sized image when clicked.

What I was wondering, exactly, is how to actionscript a piece of code that can detect for you the number of files in a specified folder? The way I'm currently doing this is to load a text file, with loadvars, and thus a variable which I manually assign the number of files within the folder. So, as an example, right now I have a text file called loadme.txt which contains the single line "number=6". This works fine, but isn't terribly efficient. And I've gathered from other posters attempting to do the same thing that it's possible to automatically detect the number of files, though I have no idea how.

Any help or insights would be appreciated.

Make Folder Download
Please help!

How can I get a folder with a .pdf in it - from a server to a web user's desktop, via flash 5?
using getURL("folder/mydoc.pdf");
just tries to open the pdf, I want it to download to the computer.


My situation is that I've been asked to use a .pdf to show a portfolio online.
problem is - sometimes it takes a while on a dial up connection to actually view the .pdf in the browser - so I would rather find out how to get a folder to dowload from a server to the desktop where a user can open and view the .pdf fassster.

if the Download Manager pops up or something, the viewer will know something is happening.

if someone can help shed some light it would be awesome.

Can You Make A Variable Out Of A Folder Name?
There is probably a better way to do this but what I want but here's what I'm looking at.

I'm doing an image viewer for an Art gallery and they will feature as many as thirty artists. I created a general image viewer that works to draw all the images and info from a certain folder. What I want to do is just create thirty folders with different names when some one clicks on the artist name it assigns a folder name to certain variable that the image viewer uses to load up the images and the info. Can I do it? Is it a stupid way to do it? What's the better way then?
