Flash :: Browse Function

Browse Function?
hey all, I was just wondering if there's anybody that got an idea for how I can add a Browse function where it will be possible to choose a diretory, like those dialogboxes that sometimes are used in different programs.
I can't seem to find anything on a thing like this, and I have been thinking of maybe I have to use some kinda java applet, but truth is I never tried using java since I can never find any good tuts on the language.. :/

hope somebody got any good ideas for a solution

thanks!

Browse CD Function
Well, have you ever wondered how the pros create the "Browse CD" button's script using flash and AppleScript. Well I thought the same and wanted to know how to do it. I just can't figure it out. I use "geturl" and link it to the folder and then it opens it in Firefox (Default browser), is there a way to always open it in the Explorer on Windows, and Finder in Mac.

Please could you tell me how to open folders in Mac and Windows in their file browsers Finder and Explorer

Browse CD Function
I am having trouble finding how to do a function. I am creating a projector that launches an installer, but there needs to be a "Browse CD" button.

Currently I am able to get this to work by using KIXtart 4.22 but we cannot use this due to licensing.

Is there an easy way to implement this function? The part that I need to figure out is how to get it to bring up the correct drive, in other words it needs to know which drive the Install CD is in and show you that one.

Is ActionScript capable of this on its own?

CD-Rom "browse Contents" Function & Linking To Files?
Hello my fellow Flash enthusiasts...

I was wondering a couple things for a CD-Rom i'm creating for my employer... first of all, i have many external files that my Flash Projector is linking to. The main projector and autorun file are in the root directory of the CD-Rom, of course, but all the other files are in sub-directory folders. Files such as PDFs, DOCs, and MPGs are being linked to (by way of the "getURL" Action) and working perfectly, but whenever i make a path to an EXE, it won't open or install the program as it should. Anyone have any ideas? Here's an example of what my "getURL" paths are looking like: "Folder1/Folder2/Setup.exe" . And yes, i've made sure that everything was typed out right, so i know it's not an error in my typing, but obviously, for EXEs, the command should be something different?

And secondly, i want to have a "Browse Contents of this CD-ROM" function/button, but i can't find anywhere that tells how to get the projector to open up a Windows Explorer panel/window to actually open up the CD-Rom and display its contents. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

Thank you VERY much in advance for your help!

Browse From Current To Next
Hi,
thank you for reading this!
Well, I am not good att actionscripting. As you can see from the following:
What is the difference between this:

Code:
gotoAndStop(currentframe + 1);
And this:

Code:
_root.gotoAndStop(_root._currentframe+1);
.
I want to simply browse from one frame to the next frame in the main timeline.
The first one sends me back a couple of frames and the second one I found here and I haven´t tried that yet.

Thanx!
Regards
ik.

Browse Window/Box?
Is there a way to make a browse window open so that a user could select a file??

i have a mp3 player that i made with flash, it loads the file, plays it, and can pause stop, gotoNExt and it has a volume control. instead of making the user type in the name of the file and hit the load button, can i make a browse window come up.

with that, a user would be able to select the file, the path would automatically be copyied into the inputTxt field, and then that user would hit load. [then the mp3 file would load - or give an error]

-Any help would be much appreciated;

[CS3] Flash Browse
Hi Everyone,

I have created a CD-ROM using Flash CS# Professional and AS2, which displays various buttons linking .pdfs, .docs, .pps, and other files.

Does anyone know how I could enable a search of the documents found on the CD? I know that I could create an index in Adobe, but I would rather the directory of the CD to appear. Can any one give any ideas on how I would go about doing this?

Thank you,

FileReferenceList / Browse
I'm using the code below as part of an upload application that we're working on and what I want is for the user to be able to select browse multiple times, and the code below removes previously queued files each time the browse function is invoked. How do I fix this? This isn't the full code, but it's enough to show the problem.

ActionScript Code:
package
{
import flash.display.SimpleButton;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.external.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.FileReferenceList;
import flash.net.FileReference;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLRequestMethod;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

public class selectonly extends Sprite
{
private var _fileref:FileReferenceList = new FileReferenceList();
private var file:FileReference = null;

public function selectonly()
{
trace("start");
this._fileref.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, this.selectHandler);
this._fileref.addEventListener(Event.CANCEL, this.cancelHandler);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, browsefiles);

ExternalInterface.addCallback("browsefiles", browsefiles);
}

private function selectHandler (event:Event):void
{
trace("select handler");

var file_reference_list:Array = this._fileref.fileList;
var item:FileReference;

var queuedFiles:Number = file_reference_list.length;;
trace(queuedFiles);

for (var i:Number = 0; i < file_reference_list.length; i++)
{
trace(i);
item = file_reference_list[i];
var jsArgument:String = item.name;
var fileresult:Object = ExternalInterface.call("filelist", jsArgument, i);
}
}

private function cancelHandler (event:Event):void
{
trace("cancel handler");
}

public function browsefiles(event:Event)
{
this._fileref.browse();
};

}
}

var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onSelect = function(file:FileReference):Void {

}

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

Reg Browse Method
Hi all,

When I call the browse function it stores the file as an object in my filereference instance. If I can get the path of the file it is damn easy, but the flash.net.fileReference class only gives the name / size etc, but not the file path when we call the browse function.

Is there a way to get the file path when we call the browse function?

Thanks

AIR: Uploading Without Browse?
Is it possible to upload files in AIR without a browse()?

I want to build an app that shows you a tree of your local directories. Then I want to display the files next to the tree on the right. The user can select as many as they wish, click UPLOAD, and then its done.

The only way I can see right now is to show them a tree, and when they press BROWSE, load up FileReferenceList.browse() which is terrible.

Is there a way to accomplish what I want to do? I already have a custom tree built, and I can show all of the files in the right-hand window. I just can't find code that will allow me to upload selected files.

Please help!
