Flash MX Download Images To Users Computer
Thanks for taking the time out to read this. I am trying to come up with a method and CD-Rom that will let the end user save an image to their desktop. Or save an image as wallpaper automatically. I have used Director projectors with the proper extra in the past. However with MX they don't seem to work because of the fscommand folder that has to be created. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Again thanks for your help.

How Can I A Make A Sound Sync To Animation Regardless Of Quality Or Computer Speed ?
Hi,

I´m having trouble making the sound sync to animation in different quality levels in Flash. If I use quality = "LOW" the animation is ahead the sound clip if I use "MEDIUM" quality the sound syncs if I´m using my 1 Ghz computer however its not syncing if I use my 450 Ghz computer.

How can I a make a sound sync to animation regardless of quality or computer speed ?

Thank you.

Why Trouble With Layout From Computer To Computer?
Hi All,

Thank you very much for any advice, suggetions, or instructions you might have for fixing this problem.

We are creating flash files on one pc using Flash 8. We are saving them as Flash MX version - because on another pc, I have Flash MX installed.

When I open the files on the second PC using Flash MX, the layout of the files is wacked: all of the button fields have shifted about one-half-centimeter from where they were when created on the previous machine.

I downloaded a free trial of Flash 8 Pro to see if that would fix these layout issues, but no. Same thing. (wtf)

NOTE: I've recently found out that the version of Windows running on this machine (XP Pro) isn't "authentic," rather, part of a Volume Licensing Package that has sense been "blocked." Could that be what is causing these troubles with Flash? Still, would bootlegged windows (if that's what it is) cause these layout problems in flash?

Is there anything i can do to preserve the layout from machine to machine?
All help is much appreciated.
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!

Does Anyone Know How To Make A .mov File Auto Download?
I have a link in my flash movie that links directly to a .mov file. I want the file to be downloadable to the viewers computer.

How can I code my flash link to do this?

I am currently using "getURL" to link directly to the file, but all it does is open a new window (i am using "_blank") and begin playing the movie. Am I on the right path?

Thanks!

How Do I Make A Button To Download A File?
Hi,

I know this is probably incredibly simple, and while i have used flash for animation for about 2 years, i really know absolutely nothing about webpages or how to make a flash site (this is my first).

What i want is a button, that when it is clicked will activate a file download...similar to right clicking and choosing "save as" on a hyper-link in html to download a file. My file structure looks like this...


not the actual website==> http://website.com/images/video.mp4

I made a hyperlink to this with the button already, but what happens is it changes the whole flash browser into the quicktime window, then waits for the DL..then plays. What i would like is for it to keep the flash site up as is...but open a "save as" screen or something similar so the user can actually DL it to a place on their harddrive.

Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks ahead of time!

How To Make Password Dialogue Box And Automatic Download
Hello everyone.

I have been usng Flash 5 for about a year now, mainly for making movies (for friends) and simple NON-CODE menus.

Now I am working on a big intro/logo for a website. At the end of my logo movie, I have 2 options (buttons): MEMBERS and GUESTS. I would like to make it so that when you click MEMBERS a dialogue box appears telling you to write your password. I have no problem making the dialogue box appear IF the button is clicked. But how do I make a place to write in the box, a way to write, a way to check if it is right, and a link to url if it is right?

I have never used code for Flash but I have 2 years experiance (good) with C++. From all the code I have seen so far in Flash, such as loops and variables, it seems extremely similar to C++. Can anyone tell me how to make the dialogue/password box. Can you use strings and if statements? If so, when should I use them?

My Idea so far: (not real code, so you can understand)
Right-Click the button, say IF CLICKED, go to some frame with the box visible (maybe use ALPHA for this one). How would I make the area for writing the password, how would I allow the keyboard to write in this line I make? What code should I use?

P.S.
How can I make a Flash movie automatically send a file to be downloaded. After so many seconds a DO YOU WISH TO DOWNLOAD (from IE or Netscape) will apear. How can I do this?

Please help me.

Too long, sorry.

I would SUPER appriciate your help.

Thanks.

How To Make A Projector Download And Play On Both Platforms
I am creating a flash projector for a small presentation. How can I make the projector download and automaticaly play from a link on a page. I've tried the zip-it that makes it download but you then have to go through unzipping it and then doubleclicking it to get it to play. I've tried telling it to place itself in and open a new window and I get a text/code that is globbly goop starting with the word Joy! (Makes me laugh!) The reason I want to use a projector (rather than an swf in a pop up window) is that you don't have to have the most recent Flash Player in order to play it. I also want to be able to serve both a .exe to PC users and a projector to Mac users also. Please help!

How Do I Make A Video Position Slider And Download Progress Indicator?
My flash video files have to be on a separate server to my website files due to server space. The flash files are on a big server and the web files are on a small apache server. Flv files wouldn’t work across servers, so I’ve had to embed the flvs’ in the swfs’ and put them on the big server.

The problem now is that there is no ready made slider, and download progress indicator, provided when you embed. I’ve put pause/play, frame step, go-to-start and go-to-end buttons on, but I don’t know how to make a position slider with progress indicator. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Make A "Download Button" - Maybe Stupid Question?
I have an audio player that plays an mp3 with the loadSound( .. );

I want onSoundComplete for a button to appear - I have this part covered easily.

My silly question is this:

If I create a direct link to the mp3 that plays...How can I have this "by default" not require a "Save Target As" type user interaction.

On some websites I visit...thier links take me straight to my downloads window, and some the file will play within the browswer....

Is there a way (for people like my dad, who don't know the internet well...)for my button to have

getURL("http://directlink to my file . mp3") BUT not open their media player within the browswer, but save it to their default download location or even better, to their desktop.

I am sensing javascript...which is an ok option I guess...

I want this to be within flash.swf file also - - - not an html solution.

But the below example is sort of what I am talking about...click on the mp3 blue links, and quicktime or windows media will open automatically...and then you need to know how to save from that applicatin (which seems easy, but not for everyone....)

so is there a way to have that link just open the downloads window and go....like when you download a zip file or dmg or sit file (for mac guys..)

Thanks.

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?

Download Window Or Forced Download Instead Of Quicktime / Wmp
Hello Forum!-

I have been building my website in flash and have a simple question that I cannot figure out for some reason (maybe its too simple) . Anyhow I have uploaded my mp3 songs of my music and used the geturl and _blank so that when someone clicks on my link the music opens right into thier quicktime player (if on mac) or windows media player (if on pc). I want the user to be able to download the mp3 to there computer (ie like a normal download window appears stating "do you want to download this file to disk" is there some other code or line I need to add ???? It seems so simple? I would really appreciate the help as I have tried a number of things with no success. I have seen that I have to use FileReference but I do not completely understand it

here is what i currently have which is not working... I have a button that I created and placed this in the action within the button

import flash.net.FileReference;
var gettheFile = "http://www.someURL.com/someFolder/mysong.mp3";
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
function givemetheFile(){
fileRef.download(gettheFile, 'mysong.mp3')
}
yourButton_mc.onRelease = function(){
givemetheFile();
}


any suggestions help or solutions would really help me thanks!
