How to open a folder using Actionscript 3.0
Hi,
I have been trying for about a day to get this to work, but nothing seems to, so i'm finally going to ask.
So far, code wise, i have this:
open_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, OpenButtonHandler);
function OpenButtonHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
From there, what code gets flash to literally open up a folder such as My Documents? The end use of this code will be for a CD, whereby the flash .exe file will call up folders from the disc through clicking buttons. Also, please make me awear of under what situations the code may not work. At the moment, i am writting the .exe file to the desktop, and trying to open a folder on my desktop through the application.
Often times, everything i have tried so far, either causes Syntax Errors or no errors, but just doesn't work.
Thanks,
Ricky
EDIT:
Primarily in Windows, but if you know the Mac way too, that could be useful.
Is there no way to get buttons to open up explorer folders specified? It seems people are managing it somehow, but i can't do it. Others aprantly can do it using this code:
on(release){
getURL("flash",_black);
, but that's actionscript 2, not 3 which i am using. Surely actionscript 3 can do this and possibly even better seeing as it is a higher version?
I also found another bit of code that was like this:
fscommand("exec","explorer\dirname");
,but again that didnt work. However, in another way it did because flash reported no errors when it was run, but nothing happened when the button was clicked.
The only other thing i tried was this:
var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest("C:\\");
navigateToURL(request);
The problem with that was that it tried to open the internet as expected unfortinatly, not windows explorer to open the folder C:\\.
Directing users to the appropiate locations on the disk wasn't really what i needed thanks for the suggestion though.
EDIT:
That last idea worked, sorry, but it opened in the default web-browser instead of using explorer, so i'm half way there. Is it possible to tell it what application to use to open the directory, so that way i can specify explorer?

How To Open A Folder of native system
Hello Frnds can any body guides me how to open a folder of my system.actually i am using adobe air 2.0 for making a simple application in which i send and recived files.I simply uses File Class for extarct the nativepath of file.now i have path where my downloaded file stored.so Please tell me how to open the file or File Containg folder similary sevral aother web application does.
Thanks In Advance
Vineet OshoFor opening the file itself, AIR 2.0 gives you a method in the File class called File.openWithDefaultApplication():
openWithDefaultApplication
method
public function openWithDefaultApplication():void
Language Version:
ActionScript 3.0
Runtime Versions:
AIR 2
Opens the file in the application registered by the operating system to open this file type
The method description goes onto to talk about restrictions on file types in different operating systems.
As far as opening a directory and performing some action on its contents, you can use the method File.getDirectoryListing(). This returns an array of File objects. You can test each File object with the isDirectory property, if you are interested in finding and dealing with sub-directories.

Urgent... how to open particular folder by using file tag
Hi,
I want to select a particular folder using file browsing option in html. why i want this is : i have to update the resumes located in a particular folder. so every time i am opening that folder which is a subfolder.
ex: c:\dir1\dir2\dir3\Resumes
Eveevry time , i have to go to C -> dir1->dir2-->dir3 then Reusmes
what i need is when i click the browsing button, i want to get the Resumes folder directly. Is there any option to do that one by setting value to file tag.
thanks in advance
my mail id [email protected]Hi venkatanarayanareddy (if that is your real name),
You say you want to use file browsing option in html, which makes me guess this functionality is through a web page. Can you give us a bit more information about how this works as it's not abundantly clear how it relates to Java (JSP?).
On another note (and I woke in customarily pedantic mood this morning), there's no need to post your e-mail address since [in the name of sharing the knowledge and not keeping answers to questions secret between the questioner and respondant] you will find responses posted here in the forum.

How to relink media programatically using actionscript or from extendscript?
Hi,
Can somebody suggest a way to relink the media files in a premiere pro CC project files to another media location programatically?
In CC project files we cannot edit anything right?
So if we need to change the Project File items path what should we do other than manually relinking each file?
Please Suggest, Thanks you,

How to open a folder in Terminal
Folks
Sorry, but I'm 'way out of my depth dealing with unix, but I know it's mighty interesting, and I just wish I had time to learn it, but...! Here's my need:
My Trash is so full it won't open just by mouse click! I need to check it before I Empty Trash. What is the command/string I need to open the folder, please?
Anybody help me, please?
Regards
RoyYou can actually, should you desire a more GUI experience, drag-and-drop a folder onto Terminal.app, which will accomplish the same task as Unix's cd.
That is not correct.
Dragging a folder to a terminal window is in no way related to cd.
All that happens is that the path to that folder is written out, as if you'd typed it.
This does not cd to that directory, it doesn't even imply you will cd to that directory after pressing return (unless you manually typed cd before you dragged the folder to the terminal, but the cd is entirely up to you - you might prefer to ls or even rmdir that directory, which are just as valid uses for the drag-and-drop). -

Thanks in Advance!!Hi Ankur,
I had something link this requirement, that also for a concurrent program output only, but the output was txt file, and make it a zip file and give a dynamic link and open it.
For that i used the following code, may be it will help.
String zipout = pageContext.getParameter("ZIPOUT");
if(zipout!=null && zipout.equals("Y"))
try
DataObject sessionDictionary = (DataObject) pageContext.getNamedDataObject("_SessionParameters");
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) sessionDictionary.selectValue(null, "HttpServletResponse");
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) sessionDictionary.selectValue(null, "HttpServletRequest");
String requestID = pageContext.getParameter("REQUESTID");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","p; filename=CatExtract"+requestID+".zip");
response.setContentType("application/x-zip-compressed");
ZipOutputStream zip = new ZipOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
try
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int bytesRead;
//to get the value of output directory
String fileName = "/o"+requestID+".out";
Serializable[] parameters = { requestID };
//Get the output URL for this requests output.
pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).invokeMethod("getOutputURL", parameters);
String outputURL = (String)pageContext.getTransactionValue("OutputURL");
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this.getClass().getName(),"outputURL in the xxt CO"+outputURL,1);
try
URL fileURL = new URL(outputURL);
URLConnection urlConn = fileURL.openConnection();
DataInputStream out = new DataInputStream(urlConn.getInputStream());
try
ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(fileName);
zip.putNextEntry(entry);
while ((bytesRead = out.read(buffer)) != -1)
zip.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
zip.closeEntry();
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(entry.getName(), " added.",1);
catch (Exception ex)
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this.getClass().getName(),"Exception 113"+ex,1);
finally
out.close();
catch (IOException ex)
pageContext.writeDiagnostics(this.getClass().getName(),"Exception 124"+ex,1);
System.out.println("Exception 124 "+ex);

Open local Folder using Applet Problem
Deal all,
This problem is a real torment to me. Why I could run the code by appletviewer. And I could open local folder. But I try to open one webpage including this applet code, I could not run the same function. Please tell me how should I solve it. It is a Applet Security problem? Even I change my web Server java.policy, it is still not workable. How should I verify java.policy when user run applet?
<<my code>>
==========================
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class FileSelectApplet extends Applet{
Button btn = new Button("Choice");
File name;
Label lb = new Label("Please Input File List");
TextField enter = new TextField("c:\\", 20);
TextArea output = new TextArea(20, 30);
public void init() {
resize(400, 400);
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
// Create one Panel with Label/TextField/Button
Panel pl = new Panel();
pl.add(lb);
pl.add(enter);
btn.addActionListener(new btnListener());
pl.add(btn);
add("North", pl);
add("Center", output);
class btnListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getActionCommand() == "Choice") {
output.setText(enter.getText());
name = new File(enter.getText());
if (name.exists()) {
output.append(
name.getName() + " exists\n" +
(name.isFile() ? "is a file\n" :
"is not a file\n") +
(name.isDirectory() ? "is a directory\n" :
"is not a directory\n") +
(name.isAbsolute() ? "is absolute path\n" :
"is not absolute path\n") +
"Last modified: " + name.lastModified() +
"\nLength: " + name.length() +
"\nPath: " + name.getPath() +
"\nAbsolute path: " + name.getAbsolutePath() +
"\nParent: " + name.getParent());
if (name.isFile()) {
try {
RandomAccessFile r = new RandomAccessFile(name, "r");
output.append("\n\n");
do {
output.append(r.readLine() + "\n");
} while (r.getFilePointer() < r.length());
catch (IOException ioe) {
} // end of try
else if (name.isDirectory()) {
String dir[] = name.list();
output.append("\n\nDirectory contents:\n");
for (int i = 0; i < dir.length; i++)
output.append(dir[i] + "\n");
} // end of (name.isFile())
else {
output.append(enter.getText() + "does not exists\n");
//output.appendText(enter.paramString() + "does not exists\n");
} // end of (name.exists())
} // end of if
} // end of actionPerformed
} // end of btnListener
==========================Yes, that is security problem.
Apllet can't get access to any local resource.
To solve that problem you must sign applet or edit "local" policy file. -
