I have make a post request to some url. Normally when this url is called from some html form, it opens a dialogue box to download excel file. But when I call this url from flash component, nothing happens. I have to force this excel file to be downloaded.
View 1 RepliesI want a user to press an excel button and get prompted to download an excel file. I normally do it like this:

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = dest;
fr.download( request,'Locates.xls' );
fr.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, handleStatus);

I am creating a web site using Flash CS3 actionscript 2.0.I know how to but the one extra thing I need to do for this site is create a button that anyone looking at the site can click and it automatically downloads a zip file containing music. (it's a site for a band who want their fans to be able to download their music.)A lot of the information I am finding pertains to PHP, which I don't understand. As I use action script 2.0, I am not familiar with much code.[code]but I most be doing something wrong b/c an error always comes up when I check the code.Also, I make a button, give it an instance name, but I don't enter that anywhere in the action script.so I know something has to be wrong, b/c the only thing I do is create a zip file, name it and enter it in the action script.

If I do that I get an error because the chart library load dynamically other SWF files of the library. The charts.swf file will be the new version but the other files will still be from the older version and I will get an error...

Or would the only way to do this be to code the whole thing into flash from the start?

I'm exploring the feasibility of reading data from a local Excel file in a Flash application.

Which should read Excel files in Flex, but I'm working on a Flash application, and it looks like as3xls relies on a number of Flex only functions and types (ArrayCollection, NumberFormatter, etc.)
Since I'm not familiar with Flex, I'm having a difficult time making the adjustments myself.
Has anyone built a Flash app that reads Excel 97-2003 files, and is willing to share tips or code?
Is it possible to use flash to read and write data on an excel/google documents file?
View 1 RepliesSo I basically have used the fileReference class to allow the user to download a determined file if he wants to.
I use the file.download(URL) function and it works well.
However, the file is downloaded and saved to the hard drive using only the flash player. The browser is not aware of the download, and thus, if I want to show the progress of the download I'd have to make some progress bar myself. I know how to do it, but it would become really tedious and take too much UI space.
Isn't there a damn way in Flash to "send" a determined file to the browser so that it prompts the user to download it? It's an image file, so navigateToURL doesn't cut it since it will just display the image, both if I use a new tab or the current one.
I'm trying to create a method of saving data to disk in Flash.
Uploading the data to a PHP server works... well enough I guess. The issue is that when I go to reload the data, the file has been cached, and so I can't load the saved changes.
Is there a way to force flash to reload a file? Or clear it's current cached version?

Subjects will be shown a series of slides, each slide containing one four leaf clover amidst a field of three leaf clovers. They will be timed to see how long to click on the four leaf clover. The purpose is to see if there exists any correlation between time taken to click and number of slides seen.

I'm currently writing a csv file straight off, which opens well in OpenOffice or Numbers, but not in Excel. The problem is with the Swedish characters, which turn up as other characters when opening in Excel. Converting (in Notepad++) the csv-file to ANSI encoding makes the show up correctly in Excel.
Is there any way to write ANSI-encoded files straight from Flex?
Any other options for writing a file that can be opened in Excel and OpenOffice?
