Calling Image from Server into swf Flash File

[oddball25]

Hey

 

Am looking at how to get an image that i have uploaded onto a web server into my flash movie file but am struggling with the actionscript needed to call the file into flash.

 

Is there an actionscript class that can call an image that has just been uploaded onto the server and place it into a movieclip? Struggling to find a code as each image will have a unique number. Is there a code that can link into a php session that starts as the users uploads the image?

 

I have found several tutorials for loading data/text into flash using either the 'filereference class' or the 'moviecliploader' but these seem to need a string or a url for the data fro flash to get. Another option is to have the upload script in flash itself but i do not want this either.

 

I have a test php upload script that is currently on (with php code posted below)

<?php
//define a maxim size for the uploaded images in Kb
define ("MAX_SIZE","7000"); 

//define a minim size for the uploaded images in Kb
define ("MIN_SIZE","100"); 

//This function reads the extension of the file. It is used to determine if the file  is an image by checking the extension.
function getExtension($str) {
         $i = strrpos($str,".");
         if (!$i) { return ""; }
         $l = strlen($str) - $i;
         $ext = substr($str,$i+1,$l);
         return $ext;
}

//This variable is used as a flag. The value is initialized with 0 (meaning no error  found)  
//and it will be changed to 1 if an errro occures.  
//If the error occures the file will not be uploaded.
$errors=0;
//checks if the form has been submitted
if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) 
{
	//reads the name of the file the user submitted for uploading
	$image=$_FILES['image']['name'];
	//if it is not empty
	if ($image) 
	{
	//get the original name of the file from the clients machine
		$filename = stripslashes($_FILES['image']['name']);
	//get the extension of the file in a lower case format
  		$extension = getExtension($filename);
		$extension = strtolower($extension);
	//if it is not a known extension, we will suppose it is an error and will not  upload the file,  
//otherwise we will do more tests
if (($extension != "jpg") && ($extension != "jpeg") && ($extension != "tif")) 
		{
	//print error message
			echo '<h1>Unknown extension!</h1>';
			$errors=1;
		}
		else
		{
//get the size of the image in bytes
//$_FILES['image']['tmp_name'] is the temporary filename of the file
//in which the uploaded file was stored on the server
$size=filesize($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']);

//compare the size with the maxim size we defined and print error if bigger
if ($size > MAX_SIZE*1024)
{
echo '<h1>You have exceeded the size limit!</h1>';
$errors=1;
}

if ($size < MIN_SIZE*1024)
{
echo '<h1>You have not met the minimum size limit!</h1>';
$errors=1;
}

//we will give an unique name, for example the time in unix time format
$image_name=time().'.'.$extension;
//the new name will be containing the full path where will be stored (images folder)
$newname="images/".$image_name;
//we verify if the image has been uploaded, and print error instead
$copied = copy($_FILES['image']['tmp_name'], $newname);
if (!$copied) 
{
echo '<h1>Copy unsuccessfull!</h1>';
$errors=1;
}}}}

//If no errors registred, print the success message
if(isset($_POST['Submit']) && !$errors) 
{
	echo "<h1>File Uploaded Successfully!</h1>";
}

?>
