Flash :: Can I Download A Zip File Using Flash?

File Download From Within Flash
Hello

Just wondering how to create a button in my FLA that will download a file (in this case a windows media player file) to the viewers computer when it is pressed. I'm assuming it will bring up the windows dialogue box which gives them a choice over where to save it.

Thanks for your help

Download File In Flash
hi,

I like to include a link to download a file, so that when the user click, the "save file" pop-up will appear.

I'm trying to let user download a JPG file, but instead of opening a new broswer window, I let them save it straight away.

many thanks

Lawrence

Download A File (PDF) From Flash 5
morning everyone

does anyone know if its possible to download a file from flash?

what I'd like to do is have a button in the flash movie that sends a pdf file to the user.

the pdf file will be in the same directory as the flash movie.

would it be easier just to send the user to a separate html page and have them download it from there?

just wondering.

thanks

Download File From Flash.
Hi all,
I know there is a way to download zip files through flash like you would with a normal html page but I was wondering if you can download an uncompressed file, like an mp3?
The reason behind this is that I could save on web space by only having the raw uncompressed mp3 instead of the mp3 and mp3 zipped.

Thx for any advice!

Best.

Flash Download File With Php
I'm making a flash movie that loads a file that the user will then download. The url to the file is in a MySql database and is found by sending a variable to the php file. (download.php?id=43) The flashmovie can be found on download.php

download.php uses the id and gets the url and sets it onto the varaible $fileurl

How do I get that variable into flash? The flash movie will be a small part of download.php, so I don't think I can reload it or things like that. Is it posible to send it to flash in the embed object tags?

Should Flash Download Speed Be Same As Any Other File?
This is probably a dumb question, so sorry in advance.

My first novel is being published next year and I'm building a website for it. I've used Flash (Swish actually)
to generate a simple text effect on the page

http://www.cherubcampus.com/preview2.htm

The file size is 13K, but when I first went to download it online my browser took ages to display the item and downloaded over 400K of stuff ending in a pop up from macromedia asking if I wanted to install an update. (I already have flash player 6)I was wondering what was happening.

Subsequently the file downloads quickly but I was wondering if this is just because it is cached. Can I assume that a flash file of a given size will download in an identical time to, say, a GIF or JPEG of the same size?

Flash Wont Download Zip File In IE
Hey guys,

I'm writing about a problemI’m having with Flash MX 2004.

I have a window that is opened with java that has flash only inside it and there is a button in the flash movie that downloads a zip.

This is where the problem is..

The zip file that is linked via the below script will not download in IE, but downloads fine in Firefox. The actual IE browser flashes up but then disappears and then nothing happens…. So annoying!

I'm just wondering what some of the potential problems could be why IE wont download the Zip.

Code:
on (release) {
getURL("resources.zip", "_blank");
}

Thanks in advance guys

Linux Flash 9.0.48.0 Tar Download File Is Still 9.0.31.0
Per the July 10, 2007 security alert from Adobe I downloaded the current linux flash tar file from the Adobe download page. It's supposed to be 9.0.48.0. However, when I install it, the version still shows 9.0.31.0 and the dates on the untarred files are December 15, 2006 dates. Is this really the current flash for linux? If not, where might I obtain the latest version? Thanks.

Download File From Flash Movie
I've just done a website solely in flash(mx) with a page of MP3's that I want people to be able to download. In an HTML page you would just right-click and choose 'download link to disk' but if you do this in Flash you just get the Flash player options. How do i fix it so that people can download the mp3's without embeding these huge files in the SWF?

Cheers.

File Upload/download With Flash
Hi,

Since Flash 8 FileReference API was introduced, and file upload/download through Flash finally became possible. The API has one troubling limitation though, which is the 100mb limit for file transfer.

I'm developing a browser based file transfer utility, and I would have wanted to implement it with solely Flash. It has to have the ability to manage far larger files than 100mb. Does anyone know a way to overcome this limitation, or have another solution for file upload/download through Flash 8?

Thanks already!

Download A Music File In Flash MX2004
Hi,

Can anyone help me with this problem. I have developed a music site using Flash MX2004 and would like to offer a small download facility. After searching forums it seemed that the best way to do this was to use PHP and ASP because MX2004 did not have the inbuilt ability to do this. Unfortunately when I use the PHP I only get 1K of data downloaded (it completes extremely quickly). The PHP script I'm using is in the attachment.

Can anyone suggest what I can do.

Thanks,

Gareth

Attach Code

<?php
// downloading a file use http://somewhere.com/download.php?filename=name of file

$filename = $_GET['file'];
if(!$filename){ echo "ERROR: No filename specified. Please try again."; }
else {

// fix for IE catching or PHP bug issue
header("Pragma: public");
header("Expires: 0"); // set expiration time
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
// browser must download file from server instead of cache

// force download dialog
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Type: application/download");

// use the Content-Disposition header to supply a recommended filename and
// force the browser to display the save dialog.
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".basename($filename).";");

header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

$root_path = "./audio/";

$myfile = $root_path . $filename;

//header("Content-Length: ".filesize($myfile));

readfile("$myfile");
exit();
}

?>

Historical Data Download To Flash File
Hi , I have a program that I wish to have access stock market data on demand.
I am not sure as to how to go about coding the request to get the data(say from Yahoo).
At the moment I have MIME format Text files that I access through Flash.(after cut and paste into the spreadsheet)
I format the data through a Excell macro. I wish to automate the process preferably through an XML schema.
I am worried that I might overload the memory of the Flash engine if I populate the program with XML data(and hence format before passing to revelant arrays). It would be better to have an XML query generated from flash that contained formating instructions that returned the data into revelant text files to be read by the Flash engine. Does anyone have experience in this or know something about the subject? I know it has been done in HTML for Lisp but I dont have access to the code
Look forward to your reply.

Force Flash To Open File Download Box In Front Of The Flash Movie
Folks,
I'm making a dvd title using flash to auto start when people pops the dvd disc in.
I have a button 'Click here to download the movie' and clicking the button should pop up a file download box so people can save the movie file(.mov) to their desktop.
Problem is that the file download box shows up behind the flash movie so people won't be able to see the download box since it's hidden behind the flash. This is critical since I intend the flash to open as a full-screen mode.
Is there a way to force the flash to open the download box in front of the flash movie?

I tried getURL and fscommand ("exec", "filename.exe") and even fileReference commands to try different way of linking the movie file, and they all open download box behind the flash.

Please help~~~

Flash Website - Click Button --> Download File
Hi, I have an all flash website where a photo gallery (also all flash) can be opened in a new window (with target _blank). In the photo gallery there's a button you can click and it contains the URL of a file to download. Is there any way that on the click of the button instead of leaving the page and going to the URL of where the file is located, could I instead somehow instantiate a save prompt? This way users won't have to leave the actual page containing the gallery and won't have to constantly be restarting it every time they wish to download an image.

Thanks,

Fargate

Audio Download Link From Flash To Download Dialog
I am defining a URL to an MP3 file and then having a button use getURL onPress to open it. On my computer, this opens a dialog box to save the file.

However, on some computers, it opens the file in Quicktime in browser, I'm guessing just because Quicktime is configured to do so for them.

I want the link to always go to the regular save dialog box, so that it doesn't go away from my full screen Flash site, and so the user can download the file instead of just listening in browser.

Any ideas on how to do this, either by using a different link or a different method?
