James, Using RemoteObject I've uploaded bitmap snapshots without previously saving the bytes to disk, using CF as a backend. Not exactly sure how you'd do this with PHP, but I'm sure it's doable. You'd probably have to use some version of AMFPHP.

I'm sure that'd work too. I've found a way around it and can now allow users to upload without the browse. The problem is though I now want it to upload the file without it having to save it on the user's machine first. At the moment my code snapshots the html component, saves this as a bitmapdata, resizes this bitmapdata, then a jpegencoder turns this bitmapdata into a jpg file which is named after whatever the user has entered into a text input component in my app. It then uploads this jpeg from the location it's saved to. I'm wondering is there any way of me editing my code so it uploads the jpeg straight away rather than storing it on the machine too? Here's my script code containing the function which does all this:- <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.graphics.codec.JPEGEncoder; import mx.graphics.ImageSnapshot; private var imageuploadurlRequest:URLRequest; private var serverSideScript:String = "*my upload php file goes here*"; private function imageuploadinit():void { imageuploadurlRequest = new URLRequest(serverSideScript); } private function takeSnapshot(event:Event) :void{ var bigbmd:BitmapData = ImageSnapshot.captureBitmapData(linkviewer) ; var scale:Number = 0.50; var matrix:Matrix = new Matrix(); matrix.scale(scale, scale); var smallbmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(bigbmd.width * scale, bigbmd.height * scale, true, 0x000000); smallbmd.draw(bigbmd, matrix, null, null, null, true); var jpgEncoder:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder( 100 ); var ba:ByteArray = jpgEncoder.encode(smallbmd); var enteredimagename:String = titleentry.text; var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(('assets/createdimages/')+enteredimagename+('.jpg')); var wr:File = new File(file.nativePath); var stream:FileStream = new FileStream(); stream.open( wr, FileMode.WRITE); stream.writeBytes ( ba, 0, ba.length ); stream.close(); imagesnapshotpreview.source=(('assets/createdimages/')+enteredimagename+('.jpg')); file.upload(imageuploadurlRequest); } ]]> </mx:Script> --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Battershall, Jeff" <jeff.battersh...@...> wrote: > > Using the FileSystem API and ByteArray you can save/read/upload images > automatically, using your middleware of choice without the user having to > browse and select the image. > > Jeff > > -----Original Message----- > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On > Behalf Of James > Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2010 3:29 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Uploading An Image Without Browse > > My app has a html component which allows the user to enter a website into it. > When the website is fully loaded a snapshot is made of the html component and > then saved in the application directory automatically.
