file upload/download within MX

[cembert]

Can you upload files (from desktop) within Flash MX and display them for client download? Much like FTP ? Files will range from 10-100MG. I am looking into PHP for the backend. Any suggestions appreciated.

components...ahhhhh
sample does not work.
Downloaded everything from soundforge...still no luck.
Can't find a help/tutorial file anywhere....

played around with it.
I am able to browse and locate a jpg.
problem is, I am not able to upload.
I'll take a look at the php.

It says on the preview you need to add some javascript. Or configure it to fit your server.

I checked the html (javascript) and the php file....still not able to upload.
Mac, OSX, using IE.
This script is pretty advanced and written in french to boot.
I'll play with it a little more, but have a funny feeling I'll be using HTML with a slightly less intensive php script.

Thanks for your help.

you can always launch a popUp from flash and use the html form and php to upload the file.

Hi,

the only way to reliably upload files from any browser is by showing the good ol html browse button (possibly in a popup) - everything else will likely screw visitors who do not use internet exploder and windows

As for file sizes: typical limits on php based servers are between 2 and 8 megs. I recently had a case where the server settings had been raised to 50 MB. and yet big uploads failed....
Of course, if you program your upload.cgi instead, you do not have to fight with these limits

Musicman,
That's were I am headed.
HTML pop-up after Flash/PHP login.
files will be zipped. Should reduce size.

if your site supports FTP you can make an FTP link to the file so people can download it and you could do it by using a text box in flash, then for URL link you put in the FTP addresse to the file. actionscript also works

if you want it to be from your computer you could also set up FTP server on it.

not sure if this is what you meant
