Opening files from flash using navigateToURL

I am opening a series of slides from my swf using:
var fileUrl:String = "http://place" + locationstring + filename;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest (fileUrl);
navigateToURL (request);
This opens up my file fine but it gives the user the option to save or open the file.
Due to the nature of the files - often being replaced and updated, I wish to take away this option so that the document just opens.
Is this the right way to do this, and if so how is it done?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply.
Ah ok thats a shame...Is there another way to open files?
In the most part I will be opening a .ppsx (power point show)
                                                an .exe
                                                and maybe the odd excel and word docs.

  • Saving and Opening files from Flash Drive Mac to Windows Computer

    Hi!
    I recently purchased a generic Flash drive (2gb). I am having problems saving things on it. Sometimes when i drag a file to the flash drive icon it doesn't load properly or transfers well. I try opening it and it says: "FILE ERROR
    Couldn't open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn't recognize." Some documents do open well. I also tried opening files on a windows computer and it says it has to be formated. I format it and of course everything deletes.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    Thanks

    OK. I did.
    But here is the problem, it still doesn't save certain file on the flash drive. Most of the files are either jpg.,cwk.,pdf., or mov.
    The mov. won't even play. It works fine when i save files from a windows computer, but not when i save from my mac.
    I really have no idea why its doing this. I am aware that certain file can't be opened from a mac to a window, but i just don't know why, when i place a file into the flash drive icon and try to re-open it, it says the error message again (On my mac).
    Thanks.

  • Opening files from flash

    I have a flash project which is going to be sent out via CD.
    On it they need to be able to open other documents which the flash
    movie talks about. For example they need to be able to click a
    button and an excel document open up in Excel.
    How can I make flash do this? My project is using
    ActionScript 3

  • PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

    I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

    Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

  • Opening .pdf files from forms using OLE

    Hi,
    I want to open, print , save and save as pdf files from forms using OLE . Please help me with the same.
    Thanks
    Vidya

    If you are in client/server mode, you can put an OLE container component on your form. However, be warned that this method does not work when you convert to the forms server web enabled mode. If you anticipate moving your application to the web anytime soon, my advice would be to web-enable first and then add in the feature to view .pdf (or other) files. In our client/server app, I went to a lot of trouble to add in OLE features such as you describe, and now I have to completely re-write those features for the web.

  • Open files from terminal (gnome-open doesn't work properly)

    How can I open files from terminal? On Ubuntu, I used xdg-open. On Arch, I have gnome-open, but I can only open directories with that, not files directly. This sucks bucause I like navigating through my files using the terminal instead of a file manager, which doesn't make that much sense if files can't be opened directly.

  • Cannot Delete CPTL file from Desktop using Vista

    Hi All,
    I cannot Delete CPTL file from Desktop using Vista. Explorer
    crashes. It is a Captivate 2 file.
    I have tried (with no luck):
    - logging in as a different user and deleting the file.
    - running explorer as an Administrator
    - uninstalling Captivate.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Raef

    Hi Raef,
    That is a strange issue. Here are a couple more ideas you
    could try:
    - Have you tried renaming the file (including suffix)?
    - Have you rebooted?
    - Do you get any error messages when trying to delete, such
    as "Acess Denied"?
    - Is your machine networked? Is it possible someone else has
    the file open?
    - Can the file be moved to another location or put in a
    folder (and then deleted)?
    - Have you tried using the Command Prompt / DOS mode to
    delete the file?
    It sounds like it could be a Vista issue so I would look at
    the Microsoft Vista forums too. Sorry I do not have an exact
    answer.
    IHTH,
    Aaron

  • Open files from a specific directory

    Dear all,
    I have the following source code that simply selects files from a directory.
    private void openFile()
    JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();
    fileChooser.setFileSelectionMode(
    JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY );
    int result = fileChooser.showOpenDialog( this );

    return;
    File filename = fileChooser.getSelectedFile();
    if (filename == null || filename.getName().equals( "" ))
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( this,
    "Invalid File Name",
    "Invalid File Name", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
    else
    // open the file
    try

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Error Opening File", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
    } // end catch
    } // end else
    } // end private
    My question is: Can I force it to open files from a specific directory, and NOT from MyDocuments directory????
    thanks,
    vxc

    \r = return
    \n = linefeed
    \j = illegal escape character
    JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser("C:\j2sdk1.4.2\bin");
    You could/should use:
    (new File).pathSeparator
    or
    (new File).pathSeparatorChar
    and
    (new File).separator
    or
    (new File).separatorChar

  • Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

    Hi,
    Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).
    I created new file (in Numbers for example). Then Numbers->File->Open->iCloud Drive->my_file.numbers and it says "Can't open file my_file.numbers".
    I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
    Files that were created earlear also not opened.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

    Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
    SSL yes
    port 587
    SMTP Authentification Yes
    Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
    User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
    I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
    Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
    After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
    I'll try and use the old passwords later.

    I just downloaded and installed Photoshop cc and the Camera Raw version is not the latest one available,so now I can no longer open files from my Nikon D750!  Can I update ACR?
    I have been using the new version of ACR with PS6 and have been able to open the D750 files,now I'm stuck.
    Thanks,

    You were probably using the Release Candidate version of camera raw 8.7, which one gets from Adobe Labs.

  • Can't open files from Bridge in CS6

    All was good with CS6 until today - it will not open files from Bridge. Jpg and RAW, neither will open, it's driving me bananas! Any suggestions?
    Edit: Problem solved. I had overlooked an old version of PS 7.0 was still in my program files and CS6 Bridge had picked it up as default editor. Deleted PS 7.0 and everything is back to normal. Phew!

    Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
    For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations.  You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default.  Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
    If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it.  It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it.  Also save the serial number in safe place.  Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year.  HD can fail.
    There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version.  Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
    Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions.  So it is safest to leave them be.
    If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed.  Can really foul it up.

  • Windows client - error opening file from OS X Server

    We discovered, that some files cannot be read from windows applications via the server - Xserve 10.4.8 Server.
    When we try to open files from applications (open dialog, or double click ) via the server, the apps stop reading with errors. These errors occour not with all files!
    A copy of these files to the local Win-machines of course can be read.
    But, using a normal Win XP machine as a "server" will work fine.
    We use the latest Xserve and Software and Win XP-64 Clients with a 1000BaseT Network.
    Is there a samba issue, or can we modify some settings?
    This is really frustrating, because this was the reason why we bought the Xsever.
    Can anyone help me?
    Regards Markus

    The only thing I can offer you is a "me too".
    I have the same issue, but it only appears in some applications. My guess is that the method the application uses to open files makes the problem appear; other applications the users are using do not have this issue.
