I am trying to drag an Image from Google Chrome or Internet Explorer and Drop into my Flex Project but I am unable to get Image directly from temp folder like Mozilla Firefox,
For Example I am using the following codes go get drag drop images from system temp folder in case of Mozilla Firefox:
this.addEventListener(NativeDragEvent.NATIVE_DRAG_DROP, onNativeDragDrop);
private function onNativeDragDrop(vEvent:NativeDragEvent)
{
var dropFiles:Array = vEvent.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT) as Array;
if(dropFiles && dropFiles.length > 0)
{
var original:File = File(dropFiles[0]);
var nativePath:String = original.nativePath;
}
}
In nativePath i am getting the path where the image is initially stored like : "C:\Users\User_Name\AppData\Local\Temp\ubeh2wbl.bmp"
But In case of Google Chrome or Internet Explorer I am getting NULL in nativePath.
So I Don't know where Google Chrome or Internet Explorer initially storing the images.
Does anyone have an idea where it is storing or how to solve this problem ?
I just tried this, and when you drag an image from Chrome over the an AIR app, it comes in as the following formats:
- file promise list
- url
- text
- html
The file promise list is empty, so we'll focus on the others.
Here is the code I used which falls back through several formats to try and get a dragged image or image path:
private function onNativeDragDrop(e:NativeDragEvent):void
{
var img:DisplayObject; //the image (or first image) that was dragged
//IF IT'S A BITMAP (The easiest, so check it first)
if (e.clipboard.hasFormat(ClipboardFormats.BITMAP_FORMAT)) {
var bmd:BitmapData = BitmapData(e.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.BITMAP_FORMAT));
img = new Bitmap(bmd);
addChild(img);
trace("It's a bitmap");
}
//IF IT'S FILE(S) that are dragged, try this next
if (!img && e.clipboard.hasFormat(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT)) {
var dropfiles:Array;
var file:File;
dropfiles = e.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.FILE_LIST_FORMAT) as Array;
for each (file in dropfiles)
{
//isImagePath is defiend below
if (isImagePath(file.nativePath)) {
img = loadImage(file.nativePath); //load image function is defined below
break; //let's just load the first image
}
}
}
//IF IT's A URL that was dragged, try this next
if (!img && e.clipboard.hasFormat(ClipboardFormats.URL_FORMAT)) {
var url:String = String(e.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.URL_FORMAT));
trace("It's a url: ", url);
if (isImagePath(url)) {
trace("it's a URL image path");
img = loadImage(url);
}
}
//IF IT's HTML that was dragged, try this next
if (!img && e.clipboard.hasFormat(ClipboardFormats.HTML_FORMAT)) {
var html:String = String(e.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.HTML_FORMAT));
trace("its HTML: ", html);
//use regex to get all the <img> tags from the html
var imgs:Array = html.match(/(<img.*?>)/g);
//if one or more was found
if (imgs.length) {
trace("Image tag(s) found");
var imgPath:String;
for (var i:int = 0; i < imgs.length; i++) {
//use regex to get the src value from the img tag
imgPath = imgs[i].match(/src="(.*?)"/)[1];
img = loadImage(imgPath);
break; //let's just load the first image
}
}
}
//IF IT's raw text that dragged, try this next
if (!img && e.clipboard.hasFormat(ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT)) {
var txt:String = String(e.clipboard.getData(ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT));
trace("its text: ", txt);
if (isImagePath(txt)) {
img = loadImage(txt);
}
}
}
private var imgTypes:Vector.<String> = new < String > ["jpg", "gif", "png"];
private function isImagePath(path:String):Boolean {
if (path.lastIndexOf(".") > -1) {
var ext:String = path.substr(path.lastIndexOf(".")).toLowerCase();
return new RegExp(imgTypes.join("|")).test(ext);
}
return false;
}
private function loadImage(path):Loader {
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.load(new URLRequest(path));
addChild(l);
return l;
}
