Default file name in Save dialog

Mar 2, 2009 6:59 PM

In our application, we need to specify a default name when calling file.browseForSave("Save"). However, it seems impossible.

file.resolvePath("<path>") does not help as if the specified path does not exist, it throws out an error.

Anyone can help? Thanks in advance!

    This should help:

    var f:File = new File( "/path/to/yout/file.txt" );
    f.browseForSave();

    -c.

    Thank you for your reply. I did try that. However, the problem is the similar to using file.resolvePath("<path>"). In var f:File = new File( "/path/to/yout/file.txt" ), if "/path/to/yout/file.txt" is not an existing file on the disc, there will be the following error:

    ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.
    at Error$/throwError()
    at flash.filesystem::File/set nativePath()
    at flash.filesystem::File()

    When saving data to a file, the file may not exist on the disc...

    Could you put down more details of your code?
    new File() doesn't need to have the file exist. Nor resolvePath().

    you can try this:

     

    file.save(your_data, your_file_name);
