Urgent.. does anyone know flash? Need help.

[Zedtu]

Does anyone?

I am making the uploader for TehUpload.

It sends the request to the PHP file, but I need it to receive the filename back from the PHP file.

Someone help :)

I guess you could put an interval in flash and then write the filename to a text file using php, and then within your inerval refreshin every 10 miliseconds or w.e try to get the file contents of the text file.

[Zedtu]

This is a multiuser application, if two users were uploading at one time, it would not work.

[Hypertext]

unless you use php to rand() to create the file name.

[Zedtu]

Still, how is the flash file going to know the randomized number.

Why do you need to use flash? Why don't you use AJAX or something instead.

[Zedtu]

AJAX file uploading isn't that great.. it has lots of drawbacks.

Google it. 90% of the time it requires an iframe.

What do you think I have been doing all day, also before trying to have a "go at me" and failing.

Look at your threads "help me integrate re-captcha."

At the end of the day, I could not find a solution, so I posted it here.

I hardly EVER ask for help.

That's true tbh

Give him a break he's entitled to a thread.

[Hypertext]

If you still need help, it's possible to do in actionscript, but if you don't want to you should either do it in AJAX or I believe it's possible to output a randomized number from flash for php to pickup I think.. and then php can use that number to upload the file with that name... but good luck anyway.
