[Dojo-interest] problem using file uploader:dojox.embed.Flash can't be run directly from a file

[Vishwajeet Borade]

Thanks Andrew,

                So, basically the error means the HTML page in question must
be served by a web server 

                Rather than opening it from the C , or for that matter any,
drive.

                I was just testing the upload functionality provided by DOJO
and that's why I was opening 

                The HTML page by simply double clicking it. 

But even here I was using the Java servlet in Combination with Jakarta
commons file upload 

Utility to process the uploaded files from browser.  It's just that I was
getting that error when

Run in 'Flash Mode' otherwise in 'HTML File' mode everything was working
fine.

 

I will test the code by having web server service the file upload HTML page
and see if that 

Works. Because eventually that's the way it's  going to happen. 

 

Thanks,

Vishwajeet

It's a browser security thing, you shouldn't try and get around it either.

To fix it, put all the html/js/swf onto a proper webserver (port 80 or 8080)
rather then just opening the HTML from your C:\

 

Anytime you open stuff from the C:\ it's restricted from fetching most other
resources anyways.

 

(note: you can install a lightweight http server, you'll need a server side
language to process the actual uploads too)

Hello,
 I am trying to run the dojo file uploader demo example on my local
machine(Windows 7) with IE8.
 I have copied the code as it is and then just changed all the paths
pointing to dojo.js, src.js etc to
 refer to correct location on my machine.
 I am getting following error when I try to run this example in 'Flash
Plugin' mode.
>>>

Message: dojox.embed.Flash can't be run directly from a file. To instatiate
the required SWF correctly it must be run from a server, like localHost.
Line: 14
Char: 21079
Code: 0
URI:
file:///C:/Users/vishwajeet_b/Documents/multiple-file-element/dojo1.6.1/dojo
/dojo.js
>>>
 Shockwave flash object is already installed on my machine.
 I have observed that this error is being thrown from Flash.js file
(line-119).
 Following check is being performed there:
location.href.toLowerCase().indexOf("file://") > -1.
 In my case ' location.href' returns absolute path of the HTML file and
thus check returns true resulting in   that exception being thrown.  But I
can't make sense of what's going on and what does it means.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Vishwajeet
