I just wanted to say Thank You for this post, it really helped me getting to grips with uploading external files through Flash!

Cheers,

I’ll show you what I end up doing with it for a client… you’ll get a good laugh.

var fileTypes:Array = [{description: “Image files”, extension: “*.jpg;*.gif;*.png”, macType: “JPEG;jp2_;GIFf;PNGf”}];

If you remove the macType property it works fine:

var fileTypes:Array = [{description: “Image files”, extension: “*.jpg;*.gif;*.png”];

I need to add the ability to drag the photo into position, so you can see it thru a mask…tried adding a startDrag to the
“image” in the Main.as file. Didn’t work

I’ve been trying to see if I can find the issue with the code and I’ve been unable to find the problem. Your code seems perfectly sound. I have another uploader that it’s near as robust, but it works fine. His function names are different, but his scheme is pretty much the same as yours. The one difference I can point to is in the browse dialog box when it’s showing the files. In his, there is no popup menu saying ‘All Readable Files’, whereas yours does have that popup menu. What’s also odd about that popup menu is when you select it, below the ‘All Readable Files’, it just says document four (4) times. Obviously selecting those don’t help, but the ‘All Readable Files’ doesn’t work either.

I’m truly stumped.

I can send a screenshot if you like.

I am having one issue with it and it appears to be Mac oriented only. When I click ‘browse’, all the files are grey in my browse window on the Mac. I’ve tested this on Windows XP and it works fine. So I’m fairly certain this is a Mac issue only. Unfortunately, we’re an all Mac office and I need to be able to use this here.

I’ve tried eliminating the macfile information from the file type array, even tried making the file extentions be *.*, but I can’t seem to select a file to upload. I even went so far as to take out the filetype from the () for the file browse, but no luck.

Any ideas on how to get around this?

I’ve download your source code and uploaded it to my server. Adding the images folder, within the same folder as all your source files (that is the right thing to do isn’t it), and when i upload it and try it out, i hit the browse button, it lets me browse my files, but when i select my image to upload, and upload it, it doesn’t upload it, and therefore does not display in the window.

Do you have any idea what i could have done wrong, i haven’t edited any of your code….?
