You can find this release here: http://developer.nirvanix.com/files/folders/flash/entry747.aspx 

This application lets you upload files via a flash interface that will show progress as you upload.

Hi Barry,

I tried the Flash Uploader. It works fine out of the box, but when I tried to modify the parameters (appkey, username, password) to upload to my account something is not quite right.

I noticed in the .fla file that there are 2 hard coded references to:

http://www.nirvanixdemo.com/widgetupload.php

I changed those references to point to the script hosted on my site and republished the swf file, but I get a onHTTPError with the message "There was a problem with the internet connection..."

I must admit I am absolutely useless with flash, any help would be really appreciated.

thanks in advance

ciao

Luca

PS I noticed though  in the php files (widgetupload.php and widgetresult.php) that the login request is not urlencoded.

The flash file has the ability to take in parameters where the forwarder should be sent.  You should change the file widgetupload.php here:

 $appkey =     "YOUR-APP-KEY";
$username =    "YOURUSERNAME";
$password = "YOURPASSWORD";
$forwardSite = "www.YOURDOMAIN.com";

with the correct forward site.

Everything else should be handled automatically without having to recompile the swf.  Thanks for the note on the urlencoding I will be sure to update it for the next release.

Hi Barry,

the flash uploader actually works even without changing the variables in the php files...
 
I think the reason is indeed due to the .fla where you can see that the flash is pointing to the nirvanixdemo.com/wdigetupload.php.

my_lv3.load("http://www.nirvanixdemo.com/widgetupload.php?imreq=1&account_id="+_level0.account_id, my_lv, "GET");

my_lv.load("http://www.nirvanixdemo.com/widgetupload.php?account_id="+account_id, my_lv, "GET");

 
in fact the download file comes up with the

ciao Luca 

 I am in the process of fixing this we have several reference apps to be released soon so I hope to get this in as well.

 Thanks for the help investigating,

Does anyone have a working Demo online that I use to see how this works?

N.M. I downloaded and installed the demo and it didnt need tweaking so I could use it. Thanks!
