Flash Player 10 File Reference

Dieses Beispiel zeigt ein neues Feature des Flash Player 10, das unter dem Namen File Reference runtime access in den Release Notes aufgeführt ist. Damit kann ein Nutzer lokale Dateien direkt in eine Flashanwendung laden und auch Dateien lokal abspeichern. Bis zum Flash Player 9 musste man dafür auf ein serverseitiges Skript (z.B. PHP) zurückgreifen.

Um das Beispiel zu betrachten, wird die aktuelle Betaversion "Astro" des Flash Player 10 benötigt: File Reference Beispiel anschauen

Bei manchen Bilder scheint es (noch) Probleme zu geben. Also einfach ein bisschen ausprobieren, mit diesem Bild z.B. sollte es problemlos funktionieren. Einfach mit der rechten Maustaste vorher runterladen.

Die Beschreibung des Feature lautet:

File Reference runtime access — Bring users into the experience by letting them load files into your RIA. You can work with the content at runtime and even save it back when you are done through the browse dialog box. Files can be accessed as a byteArray or text using a convenient API in ActionScript without round-tripping to the server. You no longer have to know a server language or have access to a server to load or save files at runtime.

Wie man die lokalen Dateien lädt, habe ich bei bytearray.org in einem Kommentar von Pleh gefunden. Die Funktionieren zum Abspeichern war dann recht einfach herauszufinden. Beim Abspeichern bitte die Dateiendung hinzufügen (.jpg). Der Quellcode des kompletten Beispiels lautet:
