User Download Swf As Pdf
Hello. I need some help on a project im currently working on. Ive made a small interface where the user can enter text, choose the colour, choose the images etc and then be given a final result of this. Basically i need a button at this stage for the user to download the swf as a pdf, which can then be printed off. Is this possible? If not, i suppose the user can print straight from the online swf. Thanks for your help

Download Wallpaper From CD Mac User
Please Help!!

Badly in need of info regarding downloading wallpaper from CD without browser window to open... I've used Flash MX for the main swf (which will be output as a projector/.exe file on final run)

I'm mac user, so Flash Studio Pro is out of the question.

And I need this to work on PCs and Macs...

Not good with paths, so your guidance on this would be very much appreciated.

For this purpose, lets name the CD as JESS.
Within JESS theres the projector file call JESS PROJECT, as well as a folder call WALL.
Within WALL there is a file call WALLPAPER1.pct.
How do i create my links in this case?

Thanks
Jess

How To Let The User Download An Internal File?
Hi,

Does anyone know how to force the download of a file that currently resides within your SWF?

For example I've built up a sound file internally, which I want them to be able to download, but the FileReference download method only allows a download from a URLRequest object.

Is there a way to download a file built internally? I'm loathe to have to store the file on a web server somewhere just so I can then download it again.

How To Direct User To Download Flash 9
I just finished making a game. But Somone was trying it out and they received this error message...

"Alternate HTML content should be placed here.This content requires the Adobe Flash Player.Get Flash"

They didn't have Flash 9 and thus couldn't run the AS3 game. However, since they already had the Flash Player, they didn't think they needed to download the Flash Player again. Is there a pre-made javascript that can be used to tell people they need to upgrade to Flash 9 and then give them a link? I'm fairly new to ActionScript programming. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And if you have any feedback on the game, I'd love to hear it.

Here's the game link:

Nothing Happens When User Klicks To Download File
Hi there,

I´ve heard from some users that they can not download files from my homepage. It´s zipped mp3:s and when they click the link (get URL), it should open a prompt window asking them to save or open file. I can't figure out what is causing it, for me there is no problems, I've tried it out on a couple of computers.

Anyone?

You Said NO Question Was To Stupid... HOw Do I Allow User To Download File?
I hate to ask... I am having trouble and have been stuck for 4 hours I am Very new to Flash so here it goes. Flash MX 2004

I am trying to have a button trigger "on release" to allow the user to download a file on my flash site. For example I have a animated gif and a jpg that I want to allow people to download. I want to provide a button that allows them to download it. I was trying to use the get url action script on my button instance but that only opens it into another webpage. Is there an easier way to trigger that microsoft message box that says " open" "download" or "Cancel"

I know this is prob. the stupidest question of all time. I promise to hit myself in the head with a hammer once some1 replies.

Can Flash Download Files To A Folder Of User's Choice?
I'm using Flash MX to build an on-line training course which uses .MP3 audio narration. Since some users may have slow connections to the Internet, I decided to make users take the hit up front and download the files to their hard drive to a folder of their choosing.

Since I'm familiar with InstallShield, I know I can build an installer to accomplish this, but there seems to be no easy way to tell my Flash program where the files get installed to.

Is there a way to accomplish this entirely in Flash so that my program knows where the files get downloaded to?

Thanks much.

Enable User To Automatically Upgrade/download Player
this is something I havent had to deal with in awhile, but I need to make sure that my users have a minimum level of Flash to view my content. They will need to upgrade the player to view content if they do not have minimum player.

I am familiar with how to detect flash version with js and as.

I want to make a streamlined process for upgrading the player and would rather they not leave my site to download the player.

It is my understanding that I can set the flash version at the end of the CODEBASE parameter to cause Windows IE to automatically download and install the latest ActiveX control player if the user's version is less than the version I specify in the CODEBASE.

Is there a similar feature for the plug-in or is it best to rely upon JS to detect major/minor version and redirect user to download page at MM web site?

I Can't Get My Sound To Stream... It Makes The User Download The Whole Thing First

Many thanks,

User Created Flash Movie That Enables Download For Later Playback, Or...
Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone has any pointers about how to go about the following:

1. Enable a flash movie to be created dynamically that stitches together images from a database based on user defined start and end images (I think I've got this part sussed but pointers still welcome);

2. Then have the option to save the movie and possibly email it (need help here);

3. Would prefer if the movie could be converted to a .wmv or quicktime format before download (No idea here if possible).

Also would it be the same for a Flex application??

Thank you.

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.

Make .swf File Available For Download?
I cannot seem to find an answer to this question. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

How can I make my .swf file available for download from the click of a button within the movie? I read that it could be done in AS 1.0 with the fscommand - so surely there must be a way in 2.0?

If not, is there any way I can use JavaScript or PHP to do it?

Ultimately, I'm creating Flash Paper files (originated in Flash 8), but I would like to add a "save" button to the movie.

My company wants to replace PDFs with FlashPaper, but users can't save the .swf file from within the FlashPaper UI!

How To Make The User Able To Upload It's Own Images Into The Swf
Hello everyone,
I really hope that someone can help me solve this problem. I need to write a code which will make the users able to upload their images from their PC to the swf file which is on the web. I have no idea how to do that. Then they will have to be able to interact with the image- resize, move and so on, which I gues has to be done as first is created empty movie clip and the custom image is placed in it, then just will use the usual movie clip control scripts.
I will apreaciate any help in that matter.

Make A Balloon Bigger By Different User?
I'm a beginner of Actionscript.

Would anyone help me to solve this problem?
I have a stepping animation, which should be active/count frame by frame when one new visitor hit (mousehit a button). ie. when 10 people hit, gotoAndplay frame1, when 11-20 frame 2...etc.

It maybe a off-line version (just LAN with 3 computers), or a on-line version (with PHP...) Is this the same actionscript?

Please teach me to finish this simple project. Thank you.

User Control Panel--how Do I Make One?
I'm pretty well-established on how to make a neat website in flash. But now I'm to the point where I have so many clients that keep coming back to me to make changes on their sites.

How can I create a user control panel where my client can log in, and change the pictures/text that's in their flash site?

I would imagine that I'd first create the site using dynamic text that would be loaded from external sources. Then I suppose I'd create a separate page where the client could log in, select which section they want to change, change the text, press the submit button and voila, it would update. I would also imagine this would involve php scripting.

I just don't know what script I would need in order to have the flash movie first retreive the text/picture from the external source, allow the user to change the text/picture, and then have the flash movie send the sources back out along with the changes.

Can anyone help me with this??
