Flash :: Downloading Images From A Different Root Dir?

Downloading Images
I want others to download jpgs from my gallery on web. Images are loaded dynamically into swf from external folder depending on variable (number of images), which is also loaded from external .txt. Can anyone help how to enable or create some right-click-save as -like utility like in html or how to force windows to show that tab with save as, print,.., functions ?

Re-downloading Images
Hey guys,

I haven't been doing Flash for a while and I need to do something for something that i just started.
I think I used to know how to do this, but is it possible for a flash applet to load a picture file and display it?
I would've done this in HTML or java, but i need something that will re-download a picture without re-freshing the whole screen.
Sorry if i can't explain very well, hopefully you get the picture. Any help will be appreciated

Thanks

Downloading New Images From A Database
I want to beable to create a Flash movie with a single picture on the 'wall' in a room. When a person clicks onto this picture a 'pop-up' window will open up displaying a number of new picture images (which are linked to a database). When they click onto a picture they like, it will download to a specified folder on they hard-drive, and replace the current picture on the 'wall'.

What I need to know is:
1) What language/database should I be using to display this 'pop-up' window with new images? PHP/mysql?

2) Is there anyway I am able to open up this 'pop-up' window without the usual Microsoft branding i.e I don't want people to know that they are having the information displayed in a Microsoft Internet Explorer browser page.

Downloading New Images And Saving
My Flash Movie will consist of one image on the 'wall'. This is actually a Movie Clip with a jpeg loaded in from an 'image folder'.

I want to be able to click onto the image on the 'wall', have a new window open up and a selection of new images displayed. When clicking onto one of these new images, I want it to be downloaded to the 'image folder', replacing the original image on the 'wall'.

Can this be done? I don't want it to say 'Please select a location to save image' (when you click on any of the new images to be downloaded), but I don't mind it asking if you want to overwrite the current image in the 'image folder'.

Also, if this can be done, when the new image has been downloaded, is there a 'Refresh' facilty in Flash which will allow me to view the new image striaght away on the 'wall', or do I need to recompile or reload Flash?

What A Disaster - Images Downloading Multiple Times
I have different images at various points in my movie, all of which are loaded with the following code:
var myMCLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
myMCLoader.loadClip("images/myImage", this);

This is not working well because:
1. The images do not download in the background until they are accessed on the timeline
2. Flash attempts to download them every time they appear.

I thought Flash would download each image in the background just once and then that would be it.

The preloaders I make preload content and then show it immediately once it's downloaded. How can I preload something and then use it later?

Also, if the user clicks the back button to return to the beginning of the timeline, the preloader kicks in again (it's on frame 1) and downloads the image again! I want Flash to download stuff just once.
Someone please help.

Controlling Root With MC Loaded Into Empty MC On Root
I have a movie in which there are 7-8 Empty movieclips put on the stage. I load movieclips into these on load and from some Btns on the main or root movie. Now I'm trying to change out one of these empty MCs from a MC loaded into another empty MC....If that makes any sense?? Here's the code:

code:
onPress = function () {
this.gotoAndPlay(frame);

if (code == "1"){
_parent.getURL(site, target);
}
else if (code == "0"){
fscommand("exec", fs);
}
else if (code == "2"){
_root.clipnmone.loadMovie(movie, clipnmone);
_root.clipnmtwo.loadMovie(movie2, clipnmtwo);
}
}

I'm getting the Vars clipnmone & clipnmtwo But I can't seem to hit the clip on the root movie. It's called clip4. Now, it works if I put the clip name in place of the Vars. If someone could point out what I'm doing wrong, that would be great. Thanks for your help and time on this. Oh, and I'm using Flash vers 6. So, please don't send me 2004 code. Thanks.

Questions About The Using Of Root And This.root
Hi,

I have some questions about the using of "this" and "root":

Why the following codes works:

Quote:

var r = root;
r.myText_txt.text = "Kirupa Forum";

But not this:

Quote:

root.myText_txt.text = "Kirupa Forum";

And why the following also works:

Quote:

var r = this.root;
r.myText_txt.text = "Kirupa Forum";

But not this:

Quote:

this.root.myText_txt.text = "Kirupa Forum";

Thanks and best regards

Downloading And Using Fla**** FLA's
When downloading FLA's from Flashkit to learn how other do things an error occurs when opening the file.

The error is:
"This document contains embedded objects that were created for Microsoft Windows version of Flash. These embedded objects must be deleted before opening on the Macintosh."

We are running Flash 4. This error occurs with all downloads. We have also checked to make sure we are downloading Flash 4 files - which we are when getting the error.

Is there a way to open FLA files on a Mac?

Downloading .swi
I know this is a dumb question but: I read a lot of posts that says one way to learn SWiSH is to dowload the .swi files and open them and analyze them but for some reason I can't figure out how to do this. I've looked at the help is SWiSH but can't find anything on this topic. So when someone posts their .swi file (http://www.domain.com/something.swi) how do I save it to disk to check it out?

Thanks,

Downloading Pdf
I am working on a flash project for cd-rom presentation, not website. I want the user to be able to click on a link to download a pdf onto their hard drive from the cd.

What Action would I apply to get this to work correctly? I tried using the "get url" and just type in the file name, .pdf, saved in the same folder as the flash swf file, but it didn't work.

Any suggestions??

I am trying to download some of the flash movies to enter into a Web site building program so I can include them in my Web site. I am told I do not want to download an FLA file for a flash movie; only a shockwave file. However, I cannot find a way on this site to avoid downloading the FLA files for each of these flash movies. And when I download the entire movie I am unable to delete the FLA file.

Can anyone help me please.

Hi Flashers!!

I'm having a problem....again.
I am trying to create a page on my website where viewers can listen to an mp3 and/or download it.
My problem is...I can't get the mp3 to download!!!

This is what I did:

I zipped my mp3's and put them in the same folder as the website SWF and HTML.
I created a download button and added the following action to it -

on (release) {
getURL("http://www.thepartymoon.com/Party Moon.zip");
}

I checked spelling and spaces and everything already.
When I view the SWF, the download button does nothing. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Any advice?

Thanks!!!

Downloading Pdf
I am working on a flash projector file that will be distributed on CD. One of the functions it needs to be capable of is download pdfÕs. They will be contained on the CD but the target audience will most likely not be able to under that they should go in to the folder to retrieve the file.

So to make it easy they should be able to click a link and had the file go to their desktop, or where ever they like, and open it's self up in acrobat or equivalent.

What must I do? I have tried get URL but that does not produce the desired result. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Downloading Mp3's
Hi all,

Sorry if this question has been asked before, I didn't see any posts for it.

I would like to know how I would make mp3's downloadable from my flash site. I dont just want them to stream, I would like to make them actually downloadable so people can have them on their comps. So please give me a hand ya'll. I would greatly appreciate. I have a feeling it has to do with setting a behavior but I'm not to sure...

Thx,

Pre-downloading
I have a Flash intro page that is followed by a flash website. I am wondering if there is any code I can use to initiate the downloading of the website while the intro page is being viewed? If there is a way to do this is the code simple to insert on an actions layer of the website?

I'm also wondering if there is a way to send browsers that don't have the Flash player to an HTML (or CSS, whatever) portion of the site? I don't just want to send them a message saying they should download Flash player. I want a jump to another URL.

Downloading .pdf
I am trying to let the user download a .pdf from my site. I am using the following script which i took from the example in the help section but i don't want to use the web. By this, I mean, i want to use the "./folder/file.pdf".

import flash.net.FileReference;

var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference) {
trace("onComplete : " + file.name);
}

var url:String = "./folder/file.pdf";
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.addListener(listener);
fileRef.download(url, "name.pdf");
}

It seems that unless I put http in the string then I don't get the 'save' window up at all.
I don't understand why i can stream movies using the ./ method and this one doesn't work.
Please help me. This is driving me madder than i already am.
thanks
