Download w/o location selector dialog box

Hi
I m using Flash CS3pro.
In AS3, is there a way to download a file without poping up
the dialog box for selecting a location to write to?
In other words, my program will provide the location to write
the file.
thx in advance
Angel

Depending on your operating system, things may be slightly different, but on Win 2k, use the administrative tools->Data Sources Administrator to create some sample DSNs that you can look at. You want to create a 'file DSN,' as 'User DSN's and 'System DSN's appear to be stored elsewhere. (Maybe in the registry)
I'm attaching an example DSN that I have been using as well.
Best of Luck to you,
Alex

Download File across Save As dialog box

Hi.
How can I download a file (.txt) from JSP page, across a Save As dialog box?...
I don't sure. I using this algorithm, but this don't work well:
String fileNameArchive = "C:\\Consulta.txt";
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=" + fileNameArchive);
java.io.BufferedInputStream bis = new java.io.BufferedInputStream( fileDetailStream);
Thank you very much by any help.

The root of the webservers changes from server to server and
sometimes it depends on the path you run webserver exe.
The best i have found to overcome this kind of problems is by
using getResourceAstream() method which basically looks at classpath locations only, but still this has some problems like it should kept at the
specified classpath becoz the getResourceAsStrem() method is not static
method and it always associated with the class object and the file
accessing also should be in the same package/classpath.
by using getResourceastream you cannot look at other places (except classpaths)
and this should be used only if you looking for .properites definitions.
the Second best method is
see you have a file called "context.txt" right
before you create a file, first create a directory at the root, let say
"\tmp"
and then create a file \tmp\context.txt
and then open an output stream to it either using fileoutputstreamm...
and then write all output content to servlet/client output stream.
this will be the best becoz you are specifying the "\" the root
and this is common for all operating systems and definitely it will create at the root directory either serverroot or harddiskdrives root
so you will never missout and the exceptin will also not comes along the way
cheers..
if you get new thing , let me know
bye

Check if file downloaded successfully , through Open Save dialog box

hi,
In the jsp I have a download link through which user can download a file which is located on the server . I have achieved this by setting the response type in servlet as follows => response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName); .When the jsp page loads the user is shown a Open Save dialog box for downloading the file. The user can download the file or cancel the operation.
But now I need to track if the user has downloaded the file successfully on his m/c , depending on which a flag will be updated in the database . I am not able to track this event . Pls help how I can check if the file has been downloaded successfully and do further processing.

This is fully dependent on the client side. You can never rely on that.
In most cases you could check if any byte of the file is written to the outputstream and/or no IOException is been thrown, but some webbrowsers (such as Firefox) will download the file immediately while the client still need to choose 'save' or 'cancel'. Only when the client chooses 'cancel' the download will be aborted and the file will be deleted. But if the file is small and/or the network is fast, then the file download might be already completed at that time.
Again, you can never rely on what happens at the client side.

When downloading v3.6.6 the dialog box shows 'download paused'

I normally update FF when prompted, and did so when v3.6.6 was released. Howvere, the dialog box appeared to function properly until it said 'download paused', and now won't go away or let me start again. How do I cancel this download to try again?
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I was downloading a routine update

But upon starting firefox again i was able to use the firefox updater to get to 3.6.8... no longer hung donwloading 3.6.7...go figure.

I have tried to install Lion. 80% download, then it raises cancellation dialog box. I cancel cancellation (twice) it aborts download as if I had cancelled it. Workarounds?

I have tried to install Lion on a Pro. 80% download without incident, then it raises a cancellation dialog box. When I cancel the cancellation (twice) it aborts the download as if I had cancelled it.

HT201628 I can't get the new version of iTunes to download, I keep getting a dialog box that "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start and asks me to verify that I have sufficient priveleges. How do I fix this?

I tried to install the new version of iTunes days ago. It seems like it's going to install and then it comes up with a dialog box that says "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start and to verify I have sufficient priveleges. I don't know what I need to do to get it to install.

It seems like it's going to install and then it comes up with a dialog box that says "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start and to verify I have sufficient priveleges.
Try the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

When trying to download itunes, I get a dialog box that says my computer can not access an itunes.msi file what o I do to fix this?

Itunes can not locate an itunes.msi file

MSI problems can ususally be fixed with the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility.
Unfortunately the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been withdrawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
Google msicuu2.exe download
mydigitallife in the above search has a copy of version 3
Check for malware before installing it.
After installing, To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install
If you get permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
Use the cleanup utility to remove any insatnce you find of iTunes.

Default size and location, dialog boxes

how can I set default size and location of dialog boxes? I have tried several things to no avail,
thanks in advance

1. You could create your own subclass of Dialog/JDialog with your defaults set automatically
2. You could create a DialogFactory that creates Dialogs (pretty much the same as 1)

Ultiboard user footprint doesn't show up in Multisim footprint dialog box

I can't get Multisim's footprint selector dialog box to access certain parts I made recently in Ultiboard. I've been doing this a long time and never had this problem. Design suite version is 10.1 and OS is Win7 Thanks

Thank you Tien, I tried shutting both Multisim and Ultiboard down and restarting them without result. I tried making different parts to see if any of the names i was using might be creating problems. I finally rebooted the PC and the part I was trying to link to the Multisim database, finally linked. I had the same problem with the next part I made and tried rebooting the PC again, but this time it didn't work. Coevally with this problem, I could not see the top[ copper layer in the process of making parts with the wizard (only the silkscreen layer). I deleted the ub_config file and solved that problem, but the MS database link is still a problem. I plan to delete the ms_config file tomorrow to see if that is whats causing the hang up. Apparently something happened in this machine that screwed up the design suite. I'll let you know what happens when I delete the ms_config file if you wish. I welcome any insights you might have. Thanks, T

Click on download of pdf opens adobe acrobat reader, but then clicking on file save-as does not give a dialog box to change the name or location where it is sav

Using Firefox 19.02
When I receive an email with an Excel, Word, or PDF file attachment, and I click download, firefox opens up the associated program for all my users, however when you click on file>save-as you are not presented with the dialog box to perform a save.
Excel and Word, no fix at all. Other than different browser or to click download, right click and go to folder, and then copy it out of there to another folder and open it.
Help, what is going on here????

BTW: using Adobe Acrobat Reader XI

Download Dialog Box in Page Process

I know this has been beat to death, but I just can't get it working. I am using Apex 3.0 on iAS 10g on Unix
I have a report that displays locations and map coordinates and a check box for each line.
The user checks the lines they want to "Map" and then presses an image button that is within the region items.
When the button is pressed, this kicks off a Page Process. I do not want put an upload dialog box. I want to write data to a file, then display a dialog box, so the user can save the file wherever they want. The code writes out to the file just fine.
The Page Process looks like:
Declare
v_kml_file Utl_File.File_Type;
v_dir VarChar2(1000) := 'KML';
v_name VarChar2(100);
Begin
v_kml_file := Utl_File.FOpen(v_dir,'sample.kml','W');
Utl_File.Put_Line(v_kml_file,'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>');
Utl_File.Put_Line(v_kml_file,'<kml xmlns="http://earth.goodle.com/kml/2.1">');
more Utl_File.Put_lines here
-- write out the checked lines
For i In 1..htmldb_application.g_f15.count Loop
Utl_File.Put_Line(v_kml_file,'htmldb_application.g_f15(i));
End Loop;
more Utl_File.Put_Lines here
owa_util.mime_header('application/octet');
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="sample.kml"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(v_dir||'sample.kml');
End;
When this executes I get The page cannot be found. The url is then http://www.my.website/pls/htmldb/wwv_flow.accept
I have tried hard-coding the path, using the relative path (the directory is located under htdocs), etc. I've tried using javascript as in examples on this forum. We upload and download documents using packages we have built, but I can't see how to use them for this.
Any help is appreciated,
Becky

John,
Yes, I looked at that previously. When I implement it, I receive the error ORA-01460: Unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested. Essentially, the code looks like this:
Declare
v_dir2 VarChar2(200) := '/vol/my/directory/htdocs/MYDIR/'; -- tried w/wout the last slash
x_bfile BFILE;
n_size Number := 2000;
x_buffer raw (2000);
n_pos Number := 1;
Begin
x_bfile := BFILENAME(v_dir2,'sample.kml');
--write stuff out to file
Begin
Loop
dbms_lob.read(x_bfile, n_size, n_pos, x_buffer);
wpg_docload.download_file(utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(x_buffer));
n_pos := n_pos + n_size;
End Loop;
End;
dbms_lob.fileclose(x_bfile);
End;

Bug:Downloading pdf file from the web,file name in dialog box populates with incorrect file name

Hi Gurus
When downloading any pdf file from the web using adobe Reader X the file name dialog box populates with incorrect file name
compared to the saved file name of the document downloaded.
Clarity
1. Download any pdf file from the web
2. Click File, Save as note the populated File Name
3. Compare the populated file name with the saved file name of the documant yuo are downloading.
4. The file Name is incorrect...
Is there any work around on this issue?Can someone please help?..
OS:Windows7
Reader: Adobe Reader X
I've tried a couple of other versions and still get the same results...

Are you downloading the file (right-click, save link as), or just opening it by clicking it?
If the latter, then what happens is the file is loaded to the temporary internet files folder by IE and assigned a temporary name, which is then used when you're trying to save it.
You can test this out by going to File - Document Properties before trying to save and looking at the file's location.

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?
Here's my favorite scenario:
1. User clicks button
2. Save As dialog displays
3. User chooses location
4. A set of PDF files download to that location OR a single zip file downloads
Background:
I want to ensure the user sees that files are being downloaded. I'm delivering content to users who may not be Web savvy.
Concern:
1. User has no clue how to find downloaded files or that files have even downloaded.
2. I'd like to deliver the set as zip files. Not sure if self-opening zip files still exist.
FYI:
I'm using jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors into response.

Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click a button.
Click a button or click a link, either way you're technically executing a script to force a download.
I'm assuming that's the php file resident on the server.
Yes but that's only part of it. Once the contact form executes, another script is called up which opens the browser's download dialogue.
Is there a php script for simply calling the Open/Save dialog box?
Yes.
<?php
/* This short script forces a file download.
   For simplicity, it's intended to be used for a single file.
   You can use multiple copies of this file (with unique names)
   with different variable values to use it with multiple files.
   Use of this script has a side-effect of hiding the location of the
   file on your server.
// full server path to file to be downloaded (including filename)
$Path2File = "path/to-file-on-server.zip";
// the filename
$theFileName = "name-of-file.zip";
//the work gets done here
header ("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Length: " . filesize($Path2File));
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$theFileName");
readfile($Path2File);
?>
Name this file zip2download.php.
Add a link to your HTML page:
<a href="zip2download.php">Download Zip</a>
