Create a folder in desktop with flex application?

Hi,
i want to create and save a folder in my computer using my flex application, so is there an actionScript function to do this?
Thank you,
Celine

I do not believe this is possible to do with a browser based application.
But, if you run your app in AIR you can do use the Flash.filesystem
class to create a directory:

    Is there a way to change this validate?
    Any help is appriciated.
    Thanks

    Hi DK,
    I'm not sure about special chars such as ":" but ifyou need to have your folders displaying special language chars (like german chars), have a look into the below link.

  • When I'm using a browser (like Safari) in Yosemite, how can I shrink it and share my desktop with other applications?

    I have an iMac, and after installing Yosemite (OS 10.10), all my browsers (like Safari) no longer share the screen with other applications, like Word or even Calculator.  How can I shrink Safari (or any browser) and share my desktop with other applications?

    When I'm using any browser (at the moment, it's Safari), I am unable to resize the window.  The browser BECOMES my entire desktop.  And if I open another application, suddenly the browser vanishes to the right, so I can only see the other app.  AND my dock disappears into a solid black space below the screen, which I can penetrate with my curser (after dragging the curser back and forth above and below the black space until the dock eventually reappears.  But if I select any app in the browser to open, then Safari vanishes instantly to the right of the screen.  I've tried to resize Safari (and Firefox and Chrome) by moving the curser to the bottom right of the browser, but that old standby doesn't seem to work anymore.  The browser takes up all of the screen, except for a small portion of the top, where my curser can reveal Safari's old menus, and the bottom of the screen, which is entirely black until I can locate my dock by dunking the curser up and down in the black ooze.
    I really want the old convenience of my Mac, where several programs can open side by side, but Yosemite seems to have precluded that possibility.  What can I do?

    Yes, mission control threw everything across the screen (which is way beyond anything I could figure out), but the real answer I needed came from Apple Tech Support, which I finally called, and I learned about the two arrows in the top righthand corner, when I held the cursor there, which turned blue and resized and released the browser from total domination of the screen.  Those two, opposite-pointing arrows allowed me to shrink the browser and let other applications be seen on the desktop.  But thank you for extending a helpful tip, which I can use another time.

  • Using UI Automation Framework to interact with Flex applications

    Hi all,
    I created a small flash app using Flex builder 4.
    I am writing a tool to interact with flash applications using UI Automation Framework which is similar to UI Spy. I've read in so many forums that accessibility can be done using UI Automation or MSAA.
    Using the tool, I am able to get all the fields that are present in the application. (button, text, edit fields etc). Now, I want to use InvokePattern on buttons from my tool so that, if I click "Invoke" in my tool, the associated button will be clicked in the flash app. Here, I find no issues to do anything.
    But, if there is a textinput field on the flash application and I use ValuePattern of UI Automation to set some value in the field using SetValue(), then I am getting
    "System.InvalidOperationException"
    even when I tried simple SetFocus() on to that field, I am getting the same exception Looks like, I cannot interact with flash text fields in the same way I do with other window's fields.
    I used UISpy and other tools to see if they are doing any better with setting values on a text field. But, they too failed with same exception.
    Can someone tell me why this is failing? Does flex/flash support UI Automation to this extent? Are there any examples or links that can help me here?

    @riatest Thanks for the info.
    I downloaded flex sdk to see if there is anything that will help me. But, In flex sdk, I cannot find anything that would ease my path. I want to stick to developing in C# to talk to Flash applications. What is the best way to proceed? Are there any sdks that I can download and use for C# development to interact with the flex controls? What is the way to go? I seem not to find any good hits in the web as well
    Thanks

  • Create a folder or file with the DATE as name?

    I am finalizing a backup routine that involves a couple of Time Machine backups, a couple of Clones (backs up once a week or once a month) and a couple of "manual" backups that I store off-site.
    Right now I have a txt file that I keep in my Home Folder with a underscore so that it shows up at the top of my Home Folder where I manually change the date so I can check that I have a current backup and/or I can know how current the backup is ("_20111126.txt" for today). Right now, between the Time Machine, the Clones and the "regular" backups I am not sure how to do this really easy in any other way.
    Today I realized that I would find it uber helpful to have a file that did this in an automated manner every day since I got into Time Machine to check this backup and the file is the same name for weeks at a time since I rarely change it.
    Is there a way to do this in an automated manner or in a way that is as visually immediate as this method?
    TIA for any help.

    i just want to have a file or a folder that always has the current date in the name so that when i see it in my documents or desktop on the backup i know that the backup ran successfully. does this make sense?
    Not to me. What if the renaming script works, but the backup fails? What if the backup works, but the renaming script fails?
    You should use a proper backup application. Such an application should keep a log and should provide proper notification of the results of the backup
    are you saying that there is some method to do this with software called "Chron" or with iCal?
    I'm saying that, if you want to run a script daily or on some specified date, the way to do it is with cron (without the h, sorry for the typo) or iCal.
    In fact, Apple says that one should use launchd instead of cron, but cron is still supported. Cron jobs are set with crontab, and there are plenty of examples and instructions on how to use it, as well as some GUIs for it.
    As to iCal, it's simply a matter of choosing to Run Script as an alarm for an event. (It's in the iCal help.)
    Here
    <http://superuser.com/questions/126907/how-can-i-get-a-script-to-run-every-day-on -mac-os-x>

  • Using Apple Remote Desktop with Audio Applications

    Hello, I am configuring a setup consisting of a Mac Pro with Mac OS 10.4.9 running Logic Audio and a Mac G5 Quad with Mac Os 10.4.8 running Protools HD.
    I am considering using a Gefen Systems KVM switcher, or Apple Remote Desktop.
    Has anyone had any experience using Apple Remote Desktop to run Protools?

    if all you need is to be able to control another computer, then ARD would be overkill. Look into the freeware VNC. That will give you control capabilities and not cost you anything. You can find VNC applications for Mac here. Most people seem to find Chicken of the VNC works well for them.

  • How to create burn folder for backup with 2 accounts

    The are 2 accounts on my computer: mine and my wife's. I want to create a single Burn Folder with important files from both accounts. How do I do that? Thanks,

    Tri-Backup, (30-day Free Trial), can get you around all of this, for one thing it'll allow you to break it up into custom size chunks to span several CDs or DVDs, then Burn those...

  • Can't open documents on the Desktop with apple applications

    Came across this while using automator and now realize that it is a problem with Numbers, Pages and probably all Apple Apps.
    With Automator I get the eternal spinning wheel whenever I try to open a workflow which is located on the Desktop.   Works OK with other locations.    Also, whenever I use the "Get Specified File" command in automator and try to add the file location I get the spinning wheel.  The desktop is the default location when I do this and can not change it.   Other Automator commands work ok.
    I have come to realize that this is also true with Pages and Numbers.  That is any document that is on the desktop will not open from the Pages/Numbers application.  The selection page freezes and have to force quit.    However, the document will open directly from the Desktop (i.e. selecting it on desktop and double clicking.).     Also, documents open ok from any other location.    
    Have run disk permission and deleted cache files associated with Automator with no change.     Everything else works perfectly on the Mac, running Mavericks 10.9.1.    
    I'd appreciate any ideas.   Thanks

    Problem cleared after deleting below Libarary files:    
    com.apple.automator.LSSHAREDFILELIST 9.15.09 PM.plist
    com.apple.finder 9.15.29 PM.list

  • Create shortcut folder in desktop

    Hi,
    I can make installer using project explorer and i able to create a exe shortcut as destop as well. I also able to create folder automatically using the function Now i have a problem, Let say i have a folder in c:\\ called abc and i wana create a shortcut of this path at the destop . How to do this please help? PLZ URGENT thank u
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Jeyanthi,
    What word you didnt understood in the message posted by "huyu"
    the command to create a shortcut 1234.lnk under C:\, which point to folder 1234 under D:\ is as below
    <Shortcut.exe Path>shortcut /F:"C:\1234.lnk" /A:c /T:\1234
    <Shortcut.exe Path>The command completed successfully.
    Why i say this because ,i coud run the same sucesfully see the image attached.
    Just in case if you havent understood, the "C:\1234.lnk" is the "path" of the shortcut file and "1234" is the "name" of the shortcut file (this file gets generated automatically and you just have to specify the name and the path)
    "D:\1234" is the "folder path" to which you would like to assign or create the shortcut. Hope you get it.
    Also the <Shortcut.exe Path> is the "path" where you have downloaded and stored the "Shortcut.exe" in your local machie
    In the above example i have created the shortcut for the folder "1" in "C:\" drive with the shortcut name as "4" in "c:\"

  • Flash paper with flex application

    hi, i m flex develper and can any one tell me how can i
    convert programmatically the doc file onto a .swf file and display
    the content of .docfile into flex component?

    Flash (swf) Files had a built in option to be exported as class files way back during Flash 2.0's heyday. Macromedia opened up the swf format quite a while ago. You can probably use Java|C++ to create an swf if you really wanted to. There is a PHP package called Ming that with produce swf's on the fly (similar to Macromedia's generator). As far as scripting a flash obj(swf), you can do that with Javascript from an HTML page, but this isn't the place for that information.
    Good Luck,

  • Trackpad mouse moving on its own and creating new folder on desktop

    This stared a few weeksd ago, I've lost control of my macbook pro as my mouse has a mind of its own.
    The laptop barely(or even not at all) responds to my control.  It's like there was somebody else controlling my mouse, my keyboard works fine however.  The guy hacking me looked at my mailbox, dropped a few things from the dock, made a new folder on the desktop and opened my photos.  I've tried everything including  turning off wi-if, my reuter and under "system preferences" unclicked "sharing" of anything. I also took it to the genius bar to have my laptop wiped and updated to OS X Mountain Lion.
    Last week, my mouse again started to move on its own and created a new folder on my destop.
    I don't know if anyone has the same experience...and if so, please let me know what is going on and is there a solution?
    Thank you

    Woah, I just got this really sketchy email a few hours later. It's a bounce back from an invalid address, but it includes the previous few messages too... these guys are definitely speaking in some sort of code.
    I pasted it on this google doc for your inspection, pretty crazy. Do you think it could be related to this cursor moving incident? Did I get remotely hacked or something?
