Latest Flash (10.1.x) breaks dojox.form.FileUploader

[doron]

Latest flash 10.1.x breaks dojox.form.FileUploader? - tested in 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5rc using the test file in src.

10.1 contains major security fixes and lots of folks are downloading it.

[doron]

To clear it up - you can select files using the native filepicker, but the change event from _fileInput never fires.

What breaks? What are the security fixes? Where is a site with the release notes? This seems to be a pre-release player.

10.1 is available as a final release from adobe.com - ​http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10.1_air2_security_changes.html covers some stuff

[doron]

FileUploader::_change is never hit in the failure case after selecting a file

Seeing an error during ExternalInterface?.call.apply(null, args)

Error.toString - Error: Error #2014

2014: "The feature is not supported on this system" Man, that doesn't sound good. I wish Adobe would stop breaking existing code. That's got to be a bug, I don't see what the security issue is there.

[doron]

After some more debugging:

var args:Array = [

"dojo.publish", MovieIdentity?.identity+"/"+event.type, [event.argObject, event.scope]

];

event.scope is the issue - if I repalce it with a string no exception. Seems event.scope is the issue.

[Mike Wilcox]

oh, that makes sense (a little). I don't think I'm using the scope object. I write that so long ago I'm not sure.

Removing it seems to work here. Do you know what revision of the deft code was used for dojo 1.3.x? Need to port this fix to support the uploader.swf 1.3 used (svn doesn't show any branches/tags for 1.3 for deft).

[Mike Wilcox]

(In [22344]) Fixes #11333 - edited SWF to not use object scope in pub/sub. This throws an error in the beta Flash PLayer version.

[Mike Wilcox]

Ok Doron, I committed your suggested fix. I'm not using Flash Player Beta - can you confirm the fix worked please?

[doron]

Seems to work here - also, 10.1 is not a beta player, it was released last week (​http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer)

[Mike Wilcox]

Great, thanks for your help doron.

[doron]

Hmm, for 1.3 I had to just do [event.argObject], else it was still failing. For 1.4 it seemes to be working fine, might want to have others test.

[frietsch]

@doron: Is there any place where I can download a new flash object working in Dojo 1.3? We have jumped to Dojo 1.5 recently, but not with our stable product version...

Thanks a lot!

[Mike Wilcox]

frietsch, the 1.3.2 is deprecated or at least "use at your own risk". See the docs for how to port newer code to an older base:http://docs.dojocampus.org/dojox/form/FileUploader
