Access to local file system for desktop application

As a .NET and VBA developer/user, I have found Flash to be a
great RAD development solution for certain desktop app. projects...
if only actionscript could access the local file system and talk to
local (preferably non-XML) data-sources!
I'm not familiar with the latest version of Flash CS3 &
Actionscript 3.0
Is there any reliable way Flash CS3 can be programmed to access
the user's local file system - that is, as a stand-alone desktop
application????

Thanks for the response.
I hope Adobe catches a clue ... with Microsoft's Windows
Presentation Framework and the new ability of easily implementing
Flash-like animation on .NET apps, Adobe is going to have to get
busy. Stand-alone desktop apps still rule (as opposed to web-based)
in the business world, and they are driven by data. If Flash was
capable of easily talking to local data-sources (Access, Excel,
Text etc.), it could significantly increase its adoption as a
widely used business RAD tool. The Flash IDE is great and rivals
any Microsoft RAD IDE + users love the slick Flash GUIs.

  • Local file system for archive destination in RAC with ASM

    hi Gurus .
    I need an info.
    I have ASM file system in 2 node RAC.
    The client does not want to use flash recovery area.
    Can we use the archive destination as local file system rather than ASM.
    like /xyzlog1 for archvies coming from node 1 and /xyzlog2 for archive logs coming from node 2.
    Imortant thing is these two destinations are anot shared with each nodes.
    OS is solaris sparc 10.
    version is 10.2.0.2

    There is huge space in the storage.
    Pls tell me in general ho wdo you do this.
    Do we take and one disk from the storage and format it with local file system and share it among the 2 nodes?
    If so then that mount point will have same mount point name if we see it from other node... ..ryt
    In this scenario if one instance is down then from the same shared mount point which is on the same node(down) can apply archves?Here, Earlier you are using any ASM shared location for ARCHIVES ?
    if so you can add a CANDIDATE disk to your existing ARHCIVE disk group(shared).
    if not from LUN's after format, I.e. candidates based on that you can create a new DISK group(shared) according to your space requirements. THen you can assign to log_archive_dest_1 for both the nodes to single shared location(disk group)

  • How to access the local files (Excelsheet) in bsp application

    Hi sdn,
    I created a bsp application my requirement is if i click the link it should display the excelsheet and if i perform any updations those updations will be modified int that excel sheet so can any one plz help me out in solving this issue.

    Hi,
    I think you shouldn't try to modifiy local files from a server application for security reasons.
    But, let's say you have your reasons.
    In your BSP, you have a link that points to an MS Excel file. Clicking this link will open the file in MS Excel and users will be able to modify and register it (and save the file in another path/name...).
    Another solution would be: create a table form (like ALV?) from the Excel file and save any modifications of the table form into the Excel file. Maybe HTMLB can supports such approach but I don't know HTMLB. I only use HTML and ABAP.
    All I said here is just overview of potential solutions. I'm not sure I exactly understood your need. Perhaps other Experts would have better answer for you.
    But I hope this will help you.
    Good luck!
    Thomas.

  • Get image from local file system for printing

    If a user clicks Print, I would like to be able to print the
    stationery header if the user wants to print on plain paper. Can I
    pick up the image from the users local file system and add it
    directly to the print send object? Prior to this the user would
    simply upload the location of the image to the remote server where
    the swf resides, or do I have to ask him to upload the image itself
    and then download it again every time he uses the program?
    Doug

    Here is a snippet from the Flex 2 user guide about urlloader:
    When using this method, consider the Adobe® Flash®
    Player security model:
    For Flash Player 8 and later:
    Data loading is not allowed if the calling SWF file is in the
    local-with-file-system sandbox and the target resource is from a
    network sandbox.
    Data loading is also not allowed if the calling SWF file is
    from a network sandbox and the target resource is local.
    As far as I know there is no way for a user to "trust" an swf
    file. This is not like an activeX control.

  • How the applet can access local file system?

    1. I want to plugin the applet into the JSP. That applet should access the local file system. How to enable this programmatically.
    2. Is it is possible to embed a frame inside the JSP. If so how?
    Thanks in advance..
    K G Vinoth

    1: If you want the applet to access the client's local file system you'll have to sign the applet. There is a tutorial some where on the java.sun.com that explains how to sign an applet.
    2: No you;ll need to use an applet to display swing or awt components on the client browser.

  • How to get access to the local file system when running with Web Start

    I'm trying to create a JavaFX app that reads and writes image files to the local file system. Unfortunately, when I run it using the JNLP file that NetBeans generates, I get access permission errors when I try to create an Image object from a .png file.
    Is there any way to make this work in Netbeans? I assume I need to sign the jar or something? I tried turning "Enable Web Start" on in the application settings, and "self-sign by generated key", but that made it so the app wouldn't launch at all using the JNLP file.

    Same as usual as with any other web start app : sign the app or modify the policies of the local JRE. Better sign the app with a temp certificate.
    As for the 2nd error (signed app does not launch), I have no idea as I haven't tried using JWS with FX 2.0 yet. Try to activate console and loggin in Java's control panel options (in W7, JWS logs are in c:\users\<userid>\appdata\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\log) and see if anything appear here.
    Anyway JWS errors are notoriously not easy to figure out and the whole technology in itself is temperamental. Find the tool named JaNeLA on the web it will help you analyze syntax error in your JNLP (though it is not aware of the new syntax introduced for FX 2.0 and may produce lots of errors on those) and head to the JWS forum (Java Web Start & JNLP Andrew Thompson who dwells over there is the author of JaNeLA).

  • Plain user and systemd: dependency failed for local file system

    I tried to switch to systemd, but ended up in a maintenance console (Enter root password or Ctrl-D to continue):
    Enter password.
    journalctl -b as suggested yields "Dependency failed for local file system".
    I couldn't find a systemd troubleshooting page in the Wiki. So, can someone point me to such a page? Anyone willing to give some hints?
    What I did so far: Did what https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd tells one should do to switch to systemd.
    In the boot menu pressed e, moved one down to the line starting with "kernel", pressed e again, and appended init=/bin/systemd.
    Somewhere I read that "mkinitcpio -p linux" should be issued to make systemd work. No (positive) effects.
    Paul
    P.S.: Shouldn't there be a topic "systemd" in "Pacman Upgrades, Packaging & AUR"?

    According to the wiki you are supposed to append init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd if you are using the "Mixed systemd/sysvinit/initscripts installation" mode.  In all other configurations you should NOT have an init=.... entry since init becomes a symlink to systemd
    As far as I know, the init= entry doesn't hurt anything - it just isn't necessary.
    EDIT: Of course, it will hurt if the path was wrong...
    Also, at least on my system, /bin/systemd symlinks to /usr/lib/systemd/systemd.

  • Programmatically save O365 Outlook attachments to either OneDrive or a local file system

    .csv files are emailed as attachments every 15 minutes to an Outlook email account in Office 365.  I would like to save each of these .csv files to a folder on either One Drive or to a folder on a local file system.  How can this be accomplished
    through PowerShell?

    > Why would you think that it can't be done?
    I didn't say so. A different technology should be used in case of OWA (EWS) which is a subject for another forum.
    You keep posting about OWA.  OWA is not a factor here.  EWS is NOT OWA.  EWS works with Exchange 2007 and later.  O365 is Exchange 2013.  OWA is a SharePoint application that runs on SharePoint and makes Exchange visible in a Web
    Browser.  EWS does not require OWA or SharePoint.
    I know all of this is very confusing but once sorted it is quite obvious what each pieces is and how they are related.  O365 is just Exchange/AD/IIS on the Azure platform (or a customized version of it)  with some added bells and whistles.
    We have had the same access over time with MSN and Hotmail.  Now all are on full Exchange.  I have systems that have Office installed from MSN as a subscription.  All have VBA and all work either on  the desktop or on the web.  We
    can switch between web and desktop seamlessly.  O465 also has added live collaboration so we can co-edit Word and Excel documents.  Amazingly VBA and Net continue to work across all products.  Of course the new effort is always from and towards
    Net.  All new tools are being built in PowerShell.
    So it is time to get out of the old 20th century sneaker-net version of Windows and get you head in the clouds. ...
    I know. Your mother said "Eugene! Get you head out of the clouds."  but in this century mothers everywhere are saying "Eugene! Get your head into The Cloud if you want to be a success."
    The Cloud is mostly just a way of thinking.  Same hardware and same software.  It just sits on a bigger network.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system

    Hi Firends,
    How to get folder(directory path only not file path) from local file system , whenevr i will click on browse button.
    Please give reply for this one , if anybody knows.
    Thanks,
    Anderson.

    Hi Anderson,
    if you're using flash.filesystem.FileReference - then it is run in black box - except of filename, size and creation data (and few other properties available after some operation succeeded). This is part of security features in Flash runtime (described in header section):
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/net/FileReference .html
    This for example implies that user can download a content to local machine - but that content cannot be loaded back into Flash runtime. For this you would need either Air runtime flash.filesystem.File:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml
    (so you would created Air runtime based application: desktop or mobile but not web, even as standalone project) or you would need one of 3rd party tools that add file access/file information features to standard Flash runtime applications converted to standalone native applications.
    hth,
    kind regards,

  • Strategy to reference a file system in the application?

    Hello,
    I am working on a web application which has a file system[d:/appname/images] on the application server where images upload by the application are saved.
    The file system is referenced in the application code at two different places. One on file upload and another when displaying the image to the client browser.
    What is the best strategy to reference the file system in the application context?
    Note: Using Struts on the web framework, Spring for the data access framework.
    Thanks,
    Mohideen.

    Personally I don't like to reference the file system directly from a web application. What I would do is put the directory in classpath and then use the Class.getResourceAsStream() method to read the files in the web app. This keeps you from accessing the filesysetm directly from the web app.

  • IOS: (not) playing sound from local file system - Error #2032

    Dear all,
    I am working on an app where I want to (among others) play sound files from the local file system.
    I have added a few mp3 files into my .ipa file.
    With a small file browser in my app I can select any one of them which returns me a File object.
    I then use this File object to do a URLRequest to load the sound:
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(file.nativePath);
    sound = new Sound();
    sound.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, soundLoadError);
    sound.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, soundLoaded);
    sound.load(req);
    It works in flash, but fails on the iPAD. Everytime I try to load, I get a IOErrorEvent with error code Error #2032
    When I replace new URLRequest(file.nativePath) with URLRequest("http://.../testfile.mp3"), everything works fine!
    Any help appreciated.
    Is this a matter of Security settings? Can I change those?
    Something to do with Sandboxing (whatever that is)?
    or something to do with cross-domain access?
    I have been looking around for days now and any help would be appreciated!
    I am using Flash CS5.5 & AIR 2.7
    Thanks, Marcus.

    Hi Sanika,
    this was something closer to that paragraph for "nativePath":
    Some Flex APIs, such as the source property of the SWFLoader class, use a URL (the url property of a File object), not a native path (the nativePath property).
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/filesystem/File.h tml#nativePath
    but that is not exactly what I've read (maybe that was A-blog or post on someone from A-team on his personal blog or post on stackoverflow).
    (myself I'm using and providing solutions for paths using FILE protocol - file URI schemes - mostly whenever I can and where it is supported)
    regards,
    Peter

  • Why can't I access the K1 file system from my PC?

    I could access the entire file system excluding the data folder yesterday. However since installing Letools, I no longer can drag-and-drop photos and movies to the K1 from Windows Explorer.  I uninstalled Letools, but I still can't access the file system.
    Please help.
    Thank you

    Thank you for trying to help. We have compared security mode settings and their Macs say that commenting is allowed, while mine says it's not allowed. I'm assuming this is why I can't highlight and they can. But I dont understand why they're different? The files this happens to are PDFs that our college classes assign as reading- so we all go to the same place to access these PDFs and save them, so the security modes shouldn't be different, but they are. Any idea why? Are Macs just enabled to do this for whatever reason and PCs aren't?

  • Hyperlink to pdf on the local file system

    Hello,
    I'm using Oracle Reports 6i. I'm trying to set hyperlinks in my report through the pl/sql command srw.set_hyperlink to another pdf document.
    When I set the hyperlink to a URL, eg, http://localhost/document.pdf#dest, it works fine, the pdf opens in IE to the destination. Now when I specify the link to a file on the local file system, eg, file:///c|/document.pdf#dest, I get a file not found within IE. If I take out the destination, it works ok, that is, it opens up the document with IE.
    What am I doing wrong here? Is there a way to link a report to another pdf to a named destination within the local file system?
    Thanks,
    Ricky

    Ricky,
    This is more of IE - PDF issue I guess. Also this problem is seen more specifically for IE + File protocol + PDF
    Nothing related to the Reports PDF here. You can try by just referring a PDF section through file protocal in IE and you would see the same behaviour
    Thanks

  • File system for SAP ECC, EP , BI and CRM installation on Solaris/DB2

    Hello,
    We are going to implement SAP ECC 6.0 with EP 7, BI and CRM on Solaris operating system with IBM DB2 database.
    All these applications are going to be installed on single server, as being a basis person, I know this is not all recommended.
    But due to client's requirement and keeping cost factor in mind I need to install all these application on single box.
    Now here I need your help. as I basis person, I know the required Solaris file system for SAP ECC 6.0 but not having any Idea about other application like EP/ CRM and BI .
    If anyone able to help me with required Solaris file system. it will be great help.
    Please let me know if there is any query.
    Thanks.

    Why not using Solaris zones/container? This decreases the administrative amount tremendeously since you will deal as with "single machines" but they all run together on one box.
    > Now here I need your help. as I basis person, I know the required Solaris file system for SAP ECC 6.0 but not having any Idea about other application like EP/ CRM and BI .
    So you'd need to read the installation guides
