Open big jpg images from flash projector

**msaleh** · 12-29-2004, 06:48 AM

Hello all,
I am working on a photo gallery cd, the user will have the option to download the high Res format. a folder on the cd contains all high res images in jpg format.

Now the problem is that I want the user to get one image at a time, that is to be able to save the image on his hard disk after seeing it in the viewer. What i did is that i made a link to the big image from flash that'll open in in IE (using getURL) but the thing is that BIG images (above 1.8 MB) can't open in IE

So, i want something, maybe an exe that can be launched from flash and that'll be given a parameter to open a photo. If any one has another idea or solution please let him share it here.

thanks alot!

use getURL("somepage.html", _blank);
and this is the html for somepage.html

Code:

<html>
<body>
<iframe name="i" height="100%" width="100%" src="yourbigoljpeg.jpg"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.i.document.execCommand('SaveAs');
</script>
</body>
</html>

thanks moagrius for your quick solution!

but the iframe is not showing the image, and the saved image is not the correct image file (it saves a small file with size = 180 bytes only)

my fault, i scripted it inline so it popped before the image had loaded. just make it a function and call it onload of the iframe. here's a working sample

Thanks! I figured it out before

the issue is that it works only in IE (which may not be the default browser)

My problem was with RGB images vs CMYK, i had to convert all the images to RGB and they worked fine.

thanka again for your help
regards
