[Pro] Upload Stuff/Upload Extra Resources

I have tried both of these actions with the same result ie I am trying to upload FW_Object.js to go along with the HTML page.

The problem is that when I do so then FW renames it to FW_Objecta.js and my Page Markup link is broken.

Obviously I can change the link in PM but I would like to understand why this happens when there is no other file with the same name.

I am not aware of this happening with other JS files.

Are you attaching a Flash file to the document itself already? FW would only try and duplicate it if it already existed.

You obviously wouldn’t need more than one copy, however I suggest using SWFObject instead of FW_Object since it’s more browser compatible and has been updated.

A greater question is why is the Page Action version called ‘Upload Stuff’ and the Item Action version is called ‘Upload Extra Resources.’ Shouldn’t they be the same?

I was looking at this last night I can see that Freeway is altering the file name even when the the application hasn’t needed to create the FW_Object.js file. I suspect that somehow Freeway assumes that this file name as is in use regardless of if it has been used before or not.

This is because I wrote Upload Stuff as a page action and then Softpress created the Upload Extra Resources a while later and decided to make it item based. Both actions do almost exactly the same thing and I would imagine that they both do it in the same way too. ;-) Regards, Tim.

I was sort of assuming - maybe incorrectly that ‘FW_Object.js’ was maybe some sort of ‘reserved’ name.

I think the easiest way to avoid a conflict is to rename FW_Object.js to something else.

Tim, I can’t see your response. It’s just what I said, not your response however Dave was able to quote it.
