Get filetype

[dwax]

Hi, just a quick question:

How can i get the filetype?
I couldn't find it in the manual nor in the forum.

When a user selects an image it can be a jpg, bmp or png (or in case of a movie: mpeg, avi).

To save or copy the file to a new destination i need to know what the filetype is, the code below is hardcoded at .jpg.

Is there a solution? Thanks in advance.

I have something like this:

var selectedPhoto = FlashPlayer.getVariable("selectedPhoto");
var path = getAppDir()+ "publish/html/images/";

var listing_image = path + selectedListing + "_" + selectedPhoto + ".jpg";
var listing_thumb = path + selectedListing + "_" + selectedPhoto + "_thumb.jpg";

var filter = "All Image Files|*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.bmp|";

var image = Dialogs.fileOpen(filter);
if (image)
{   
var imgObj = Image.load(image);
if (imgObj == null) return;

Zoomfactor = 550/imgObj.width;
imgObj.zoom(Zoomfactor);
imgObj.save(listing_image);

etc etc.

You can do that by checking the file extensions as the following code

var filter = "All Image Files|*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.bmp|";

var image = Dialogs.fileOpen(filter);
if (image)
{
var ext = image.substring(image.lastIndexOf("."));
if (ext == ".jpg")
{
trace("a jpeg file");
}
...
}

That works great! thanks, i was searching for a special command, never thought of this.

One completely other thing:
How do you open a browser window with a local file?.
All browser scripts i've found here don't work without a http or www in the path.

e.g. this one:

function getDefaultBrowser()
{

var rk = new RegKey("HKCR\\.htm");
if (rk == null) return null;

var rv = rk.getValue();
if (rv == null) return null;
var filetype = rv.data;

rk = new RegKey("HKCR\\"+filetype+"\\shell\\open\\command") ;

if (rk == null) return null;
rv = rk.getValue();
if (rv != null)
return rv.data;

return null;
}


var path = "file:///" + getAppDir()+ "publish\\html\\index.html"; // this doesn't work
//var path = "www.derekscholte.nl"; // this does...
var wnd = Shell.run(getDefaultBrowser()+path);
trace(wnd);

You must add a blank between the command and the argument

var wnd = Shell.run(getDefaultBrowser()+" " + path);

hmmm, almost there, but now it opens two tabs in firefox,
one containing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_1 (??)
And the other the intended local file....

The other tag should not be opened by swfkit. Please check your firefox settings.
