I'm having a problem refreshing an xml file. I am bringing it in through an HTTP service component and putting it into a bindable array _cattArr, that I am using as the dataprovider for a grid.When someone adds an item to the datagrid, it saves to the same xml file. Then I close the window, reopen it and don't see the item that has been added.It is writing to the xml file, because when I restart the flex app, the item has been added, it's just not refreshing it. I have tried to resend the httpservice, but still no luck. What is the correct process for doing this?
View 3 RepliesSo I have been trying to load data from an XML file into a datagrid. The project is in Cairngorm framework. The XML file is in the web content folder. I have a HTTPService call in the Services folder.

When I make a selection in one dataGrid it is supposed to populate another dataGrid with the data in the XML file. Below is the Classes datagrid. When i click on a class it is supposed to populate the next data grid.

I've written this piece of code to use a PHP script to send data to Flex.[code]...
If there is no way to use HttpService for this end (i.e. send image files), how can one do it then? I've seen it in an app I worked on so I'm positive it can be done.
I have a few buttons rigged up for downloading word.doc, mp3 etc
Problem is its opening the file rather than giving a download this file option.
So 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.
In my AIR app, I have a list of file that needs to be downloaded from remote server. I want to make this download happen sunchronously. [code]...
View 1 RepliesIs it possible download a file in an AIR application, store it on the user's system, and prohibit access to the files by applications other than the one with which it was downloaded?
View 3 RepliesI'm getting an anoying problem in IE6.02 when trying to download a file through flex + struts action, the browser opens a new window and doesn't close it after the download has finished.
The flex code is:
navigateToURL(url,"_blank");
The content headers are:
HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:00:44 GMT
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: application-download;
charset=UTF-8
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=myfile.pdf
X-Powered-By: Servlet/2.4 JSP/2.0
Also, we tried with
Content-Type: application/pdf; charset=UTF-8
How do I close the new opened window automatically? In FF works perfectly.
My Flex client app has got some data from the back end (RemoteObjects, BlazeDS, Spring). Client has got all the data it needs, it now needs to put some information in a CSV format and make it available for download.Using Flex 3 for this.
View 2 RepliesI am building an Adobe Air Mobile application currently targeting Android (and eventually iOS). I'm using Flash Builder 4.6 (which is Flex).I have a requirement to download a zip file from a url, save it to local storage and unzip the contents.There seem to be a few example on how to do a download in Flex/Air, but not many in Flex/Air/Mobile. Additionally, the mix of examples seem to be all over the place with namespace versions, etc. Edit: What I've tried:So, from the examples on the web, the first thing I did was add namespace in Flex declarations: xmlns:net="flash.net.*" Then I added the following component: <net:URLLoader id="urlLoader" /> Then, in the button click event, I called it: urlLoader.load(new URLRequest(downloadUrl)); I get a run time error: Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.

View 1 RepliesI have an xml file (externally saved) that is similar to the following:
[root]
[main]
[title]...[/title]
[Code]....
What I like to do is to get what's in [title] tag using HTTPservice, import it into Flex, and save it as array objects, and do the same thing for [content]. This way I can later refer the array object saying title[0] or content[2].
I'd like to have Flex trigger the browser to download a PDF file from a server, but if anything goes wrong with the script that generates the file I want to be able to throw a meaningful error from Flex. Is it at all possible to try to open the URL in Flex first and check the response's HTTP status or Content-Type, then if it's a PDF file and not an error pass it up to the browser to display the "Save File..." dialog?
View 1 Repliesi try to load file from remote server and open the file with default application.
private function getRemoteCourr(PathFichier:String, FileName:String):void {
urlStream = new URLStream();
fileData = new ByteArray();
var urlRemoteCourr:String = new urlManager().urlCourriersPat();

Instead of a word document with image and text.
The code flow is as follows: user clicks 'download details' button on the page -> on button click handler a call to a RPC method is made using s:CallResponder -> RPC method generates and returns a URL from where to download the file -> the success event handler of the CallResponder gets the url where FileRefrence.download() is used to download the file but throws following error:-
Error: Error #2176: Certain actions, such as those that display a pop-up window, may only be invoked upon user interaction, for example by a mouse click or button press.

I wonder how can I download/save/write a file from my server to a client's computer using flash or flex.
Sign up
Sign in
Click on the ("FREE") button placed on the right of the page. (the
orange button)

then you'll see a confirmation popup for the download, then you choose where do you want to save the file, and the flash movie saves the file!
I want to retrieve data from a Database and display inside a datagrid in a Flex web application. The way I'm thinking of doing it is :
Send the Query data from .mxml file to the .jsp page using HTTPService. In the .jsp, connect to the database and retrieve the data using select statements. send the results back to the .mxml using HTTPService.
I know what to use but I have an ambiguity. In the (.mxml) I use xxx.send() to send the data. What do I use in the (.jsp) to send it back ? I know that I should store the results in an XML in the .jsp file, but how to do that ?
I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):
var dg2CSV:DataGrid2CSV = new DataGrid2CSV();
dg2CSV.includeHeader=true;
dg2CSV.target=adgEncounters;

I have a Flex client making RESTful calls to a webservice using HTTPService. The server is returning JSON responses, which we would like to compress. Can Flex using HTTPService handle gzip-encoded responses? If so, what steps are required to make it work (e.g., which headers to set, how to decompress, etc.)? If not, can you suggest a simple alternative?

I'm trying to reuse the HTTPService object in a flex app but I'm running into a problem. In the handler for ResultEvent.RESULT I'm removing the listener, but it isn't removed. I've have to catch the asyncToken from send() and attach a new property so I know what it's supposed to do in the handler.URL...You can right-click and view source.Has anyone else run into an issue where listeners aren't removed? Should HTTPService not be reused?

View 1 RepliesXML is cool in flex, but I have an annoying problem to solve, caused by what I can imagine is a feature. You see, when you have just one tag of something, it creates an object which is not an array. But when finds more than one, it puts it on an array structure.[code]I could check the format of resObj.specifictag (to check if it is has an array) and then duplicate the code (for each case). But -even if it's calling a function- I don't think it is an elegant solution.Well, I hope someone has a good idea on this matter. (I know from experience that SO has much more C++ experts than flex, but well...)The perfect thing would be that HTTPrequest handled every tag in a consistent way (using always arrays... though I'm guessing that that would also have its drawbacks).
