AS2.0 fileupload oncomplete fires before actual file move at server

can you show us your code.

at flash side we use just the common upload syntax with oncomplete listener

fref.upload(__updUrl + "&fileName=" + list[i].itm.name + "&orderno=" + __sequenceNo);

and

listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference):Void  {
  // does the redirection
}


at php side its somthing similer to this :

if ($_FILES['Filedata']['name']) {
$uploadDir = SITE_PATH."/modules/album/tempUpload/";
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['Filedata']['tmp_name'], $uploadDir . basename($_FILES['Filedata']['name']));
}

This works very fine with small files. But files with bigger size like 2MB+ the onComplete event gets fired just after the file post complete but before the moving finished. so in redirected page image load gives a 404 error. if we refresh the same page after a few seconds it will load.

:(

You are absolutely right with the first part, my onComplete handler wont listen to move event. Any chance of hope on this point ?

um off the top of my head, have the php set a variable to done (in the php).

have a function in the php that returns that value.
use a timer in the flash to call that function every x seconds.
once it gets a true value stop and remove that timer..

will work but I don't know if that's the best way of doing it.

Thanks a lot genie in blue... we have thought about this solution but wont it cause serious performance issues with multi file uploader - say 20-50 files at a time. :(

Any other thoughts ?

try posting in the php section.
i know about connecting from flash to php but i don't know the other way around.

research something called bulkupload - i read about it on one of the posts, but have no idea what it is.

but at the end of the day if you're uploading quite a few files that are large you'll have issues me thinks.

good luck.

It is partially acceptable.
