Can I build a photo uploader with Flex?

Hi,
I am looking into Flex as a possible platform to build a new
photo website. I know that many of my requirements fit great with
the flex/flash platform. But one specific issue is to build an
easy-to-use, easy-to-deploy photo uploader which feels like
Flickr/Picasa and can manage picking 100s of files/folders. That
means I need:
1 - local read access to the filesystem to browse JPGs for
upload
2 - local write access to add EXIF keywords to selected JPGs
(i.e. uploaded tag)
3 - network access to upload to my website
For the absolute simplest user experience, I think I need to
run in a local-trusted sandbox, an SWF downloaded and configured by
an installer. I think that will get me 1 and 3. But I think 2 is a
problem - am I limited to only writing local shared objects to the
filesystem?
If this is so, is there a workaround for this? For example,
can I call a local executable to write the EXIF data to JPG, or can
I use the Flex/AJAX bridge to expose my SWF to javascript and
somehow use that to write the EXIF data?
Also, can someone point me in the right direction to
understand how to write an installer that will configure a
local-trusted SWF?
Thanks,
m.

Sorry, no. That feature is not supported in iPhoto for iOS.

    No, you don't need Flash Builder to use the Flex SDK. If you download the SDK and unzip it, you'll find a 'bin' directory that has the mxmlc compiler in it. You can compile Actionscript or MXML files using that.
    ./mxmlc MyFlexApp.mxml
    If you are building an AIR application, you will use amxmlc
    ./amxmlc MyAIRFlexApp.mxml
    Then, launch your AIR application using adl
    ./adl.exe MyAIRFlexApp-app.xml
    Hope this helps,

  • Is Adobe FLash builder 4.7 compatible with flex sdk 3.5?

    Is Adobe FLash builder 4.7 compatible with flex sdk 3.5?

    Kind of.  I never actually solved the bug, but I did make it past the install. 
      Upon running Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Plug-in Installer it appeared to crash and only load a blank screen with a single unclickable button.  It wasn't actually "hanging", and would react when I clicked on the program menu and moused over "Services".  This would allow my clicks and keystrokes to register with the program, but only after I mouse over the "Services" menu item.  For example, you need to click "okay", then mouse over "Services".  When you want to enter text you need to click in the text box, and mouse over "Services".  Then you need to type the text you want, and mouse over "Services" to see the text appear.  It's a PITA, but you can get through the install by doing this. 
      After installing the FB plug-in starting eclipse with editors open appeared to cause errors.  If this happens, this is because it seems that FB attempts to load when eclipse starts up.  Close all editors and restart eclipse.  The Welcome page for FB may pop open up.  At the bottom there is a check box that will keep that form loading - check it.  If the page does not open when eclipse starts, then open up an MXML file.  The Welcome page should load, and you can check the box. 
    I hope this helps you move forward.  Also, if you find an actual solution please let me know.

  • I have two different iCloud accounts. I can't sign into photo stream with my personal account and have tried deleting from my iPhone first, then the MacBook Pro. Still won't let me sign in with the personal account. Please help.

    I have two different iCloud accounts - business and personal. I can't sign into Photo Stream with my personal account because it says my business account is my primary account. They are separate but equal accounts. I have tried deleting the iCloud account from my iPhone, then my MacBook Pro and signing in again on both devices. The iPhone says that my primary account ismy personal account (which is good) but my MacBook Pro still will not sign into that account so I can use Photo Stream.
    Any suggestions? This iCloud stuff is getting annoying.

    if yes, download an install the installation file.  if you already have the installation file, what is its name and file extension?  (eg, if it's one file, it should be a dmg file.)

  • HT201317 I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing.  Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
    There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
    More things you can do:
    With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
    I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not.  You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing.  As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos.  I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special.  Any way - search around to find answers.

    How can I transfer my photo taken with iPhone5 filters maintaining filter effects ? I always have colored photo without filter effect on my iMac !!!

    no completely satisfactory answer but you can :
    1) email photos to yourself (tedious if you have a lot of filtered)
    2) create shared file in iPhone and bring into iPhoto (and maybe Aperture - not tested yet) with filter effects
    3) import to iPhoto and add effects from there (likely needs latest version to mirror iPhone filter)
    see this thread for more explanation on these workarounds: iPhone isn't transferring photos taken with built-in filters

  • FTP upload with Flex 3

    Is it possible to upload a partiular file, in this case a
    users answer file, to an FTP site with out any interaction from the
    user. For example, when they are done the test, upload the answer
    file to an FTP site (without using cold fusion or asp or
    .net)?

    I have downloaded the coded and converted it to work with
    Flex 3 (changed it to WindowedApplication, and updated the
    FlexFTP-app.xml file). When i run it, I get the following:
    220 jpl Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).

    It allows me to connect when I have the correct password but
    it will not allow me to upload or download files. Any ideas?
