    Hi Kali,

    Not a problem. Following code should solve your problem.

    private function someFn():void{
    //function where you are calling you alert popup
    Alert.show("SomeMessage", "Confirmation Window", Alert.YES|Alert.NO, null, handleConfirmation);

    }

    private function handleConfirmation(event:CloseEvent):void{
    if(event.detail == Alert.YES)
    //logic which you initially calling on button click
    }

    HTH

    Hi Shaleen

    According to my current requirement I want to know is there simple Flex compatible parser for use in parsing CSV (comma separated value) format files. This may already be available in Flex Builder. If not what is the best way to parse these files.

    Hi Kalavati,

    you need to parse the csv file on the server side and then pass it in the form of a xml or object to use it on the flex client side.

    Hello Shaleen,
    Can you please also let me know the reasons why we cannot go for parsing of CSV on Client side(if any)
    If its mandatory that we have to parse CSV on server side,my server being embedded web server(Vxworks).Can you let me know how can i proceed with this

    @ Kalavati,

    Flex security feature i.e sandbox security doesn't allow any application to access asset from other location, you can only access the asset of he same domain. that's why you can't access any csv file on the client side...
    What tech you are using for your server side scripting?

  19. Shaleen JainMay 27, 2009 at 12:54 AM

    @Santosh
    For Error #1065
    You are using an undefined lexical reference. For example, in the following statements, the statement trace(x) generates an error because x is undefined. However, the statement trace(y) doesn't generate an error because y is defined:
    trace("hello world")
    trace(x) // x is undefined
    var y
    trace(y) // No error, y is defined.
    --------------------------

    For Error #1053

    Check your code if you are override the rigth class with right access modifiers.

    Here is the information from my side.

    I have down loaded Flex Monkey 8.0 from Net and installed it. When I keep all the files in following and try to call the HTML everything’s works fine.
    C:\ResearchDevelopment\FlexMonkey\FlexMonkey.0.8\build
    1. FlexMonkeyLauncher.swf
    2. FlexMonkeyTests.swf
    3. MonkeyContacts.swf
    4. MonkeyContactsTest.html
    If I call MonkeyContactsTest.html this file from property file or double click the html everything works fine.

    But if I copy all this to server deployed location

    C:\Teradata\MDM\2.01.02\web\mdmclient\bcm\HierarchyManager

    1. FlexMonkeyLauncher.swf
    2. FlexMonkeyTests.swf
    3. MonkeyContacts.swf
    4. MonkeyContactsTest.html

    Call the HTTP……. This does not work for me.
    http://localhost:8080/mdm/bcm/HierarchyManager/MonkeyContactsTest.html

    Note : I have also copied FlexMonkey.swc, FlexMonkeyLauncher.swf to lib

    C:\Teradata\MDM\2.01.02\web\mdmclient\WEB-INF\lib

  25. Shaleen JainMay 28, 2009 at 11:28 PM

    @Kalavati,

    Yes, than you need to upload the file first on the server, than read it using c/C++, parse it as per you requirement and send it back to the flex client. Let me know if you still have any doubt.

    In between, What kind of UI you are developing.

    You may send me attachments on my mail.

    My question is that how that csv is going to be generated. If you C++ code is going to generate that file, directly convert that into xml and send it to the flex client. Feel free to mail me your req doc.

    Hi Shaleen,

    iam new to Flex and presently working on a task where i should generate dynamic tree notation based on DB values of particular table.

    Description of my task:-

    actually there is a table called personnel with various fields,i have to consider 2 fields and must generate dyanamic relationship b/w those values.

    the values are 1) Index number of person,
    2)reporting_to field,to whom the particular person reports.

    Now based on these to values i must generate Superior and Subordinate relationship just like tree for each Superior the respective index values are attached, if that index value also as any subordinate then index become superior and its reporting person index becomes child. Like this the structure must generate.

    Kindly guide me to fulfill this requirement.

    regards,
    Sriram.

    Hi Sriram,

    Can you send me the tree structure you want to see in a diagram. Is the tree populates for one user at a time or more than one? On which conditions you need to get this tree.

    I understand the requirement but need more inputs as how you want to populate you tree and on what conditions?

    Thanks,
    Shaleen Jain

  35. SriramJuly 1, 2009 at 12:02 PM

    Hi Shaleen,

    Thanks for reply,Actually tree generates more than one user at an instance.i.e all superior and subordinate relationship must generate atonce.

    As iam not able to attach or copy my output diagram iam discribing below.

    For example:- let comsider superior values as A,B,C and each superior consists values like A(1,2,3,4), B(5,6,7),C(8,9).Now i should generate output like, A B C consecutive variables and Under each Superior value respective child vlues must be attached and display just like tree structure.Like this for allthe superior values must display seperately in horzontal direction and its child index numbers must attached and displayed in vertical direction.

    Kindly let me know if any information required.if possible kind give testmail to abbireddy.sriram@gmail.com sothat i can sned the output diagram.

    Hi I am working on a project which involves flex, php, mysql.

    I have a database table which has video file in formations with 3 columns. Name, Duration and Address. Say Name= india.flv, Duration = 00:12:34:05 and Address = C:/videos/india.flv.

    So there are more than 500 entries in this database table.

    I am now able to display this in the front end using the flex.


    I want the following features to be added soon:-

    1) Is it possible to display the thumbnail of the videos that is present in the database ?

    2)on clicking on the thumbnail, the video should start playing.


    Is this possible ?

    thanks...

  41. Shaleen JainApril 26, 2011 at 9:10 AM

    @Mac, yes it is possible.
    What you need to create one more column in your database which should have a thumbnail picture of your video(whatever you want to display) in the same manner as you have the videos. One click of the thumbnail, you can change the state to video view.

  42. MacApril 27, 2011 at 5:47 PM

    Ok, so you mean I have to BLOB the thumbnail pics ? you know like storing binary form ? Because I did not BLOB videos, I jus stored there names and address and duration.
