[Extendflash] JSFL: Macromedia Request your Feedback [last callnag]

[Jeff Conrad]

There's document.importFile() now in 8.

In MX04, when you "open" (key word) a JPG, mp3, etc, it gets automatically
imported into a new blank document. Thanks go to Peter Elst for discovering
that.  You can use fl.openScript() to open those and then use the copy and
paste via JSFL to import JPGs, GIFs, and the like into your documents.

Proof of Concept for MX04:

// this will let you browse for a jpeg to import and "import" it by copying
// it to the stage of the current movie
var uri = fl.browseForFileURL("open");
// the importance of the next line is that we can "import" from a fileURI
// i.e.: file:///C|/myPicture.jpg or file:///C|/myPicture.gif
fl.openScript(uri);
fl.getDocumentDOM().selectAll();
fl.getDocumentDOM().clipCopy();
fl.closeDocument(fl.getDocumentDOM(), false);
// note that we closed the old dom above...this is the previous document
fl.getDocumentDOM().clipPaste();

Hope that helps.

Jeff

I only have one, that is to import images (jpg, png). I haven't  
watched to see if Flash 8 has this.
