How to open user file in Flex Application

Hi forum,
I develop flex2 application where user can browse and open
XML file: the file should be loaded to text area.
Could you, please, advice me how to browse and open user
file?
I found FileReference class but it looks that it can only
upload file to a server. I need to open the file in flex
application.
Thanks for your help.

The issue isn't Flex, but the Flash Player. It is too much of
a security risk to allow SWFs running in the Flash Player to open
local files. Imagine going to a web site that has a SWF banner ad -
but that banner ad opens local files and sends them to a remote
system - all of your personal and financial information transfered
without your consent.
Flex apps running in the AIR player are different - the end
user must launch them explicitly, just like any other local
program.

How to display pdf file in flex application

hi,
I am Ibran, I am using Flex4.5, in that i want to display a pdf file like images.
How can i do it please anyone tell me.
I have used navigateToURL(url),but this was going into navigation and i can't see my textfield and buttons.
So without this navigateToURL(url) how can i display a pdf file in flex without navigation so that i can see my textInputs and buttons.

Flash does not have the ability to load/display/manipulate PDF files, so you can't open it directly in the flex application. With clever HTML and javascript, you can make it appear that it is in the same window, but it will actually be in a separate window/div in the browser. And yes, this has always seemed absurd to me that Adobe doesn't support PDF's......

How to open pdf files in browser using flex

hi,
my project is having a Document explorer wchich contains pdf
files,iwant to open it in the browser.can any one tell me how to
open pdf documents using flex programming(i tried with different
thing like swf's but my client wants only pdf formatt).

Another option is by calling a JSP page. This example will
open a pdf file into a new browser without displaying the download
"save" prompt.
Function to call the JSP:
private function downloadFlyer(event:Event):void {
var jspLink:URLRequest = new
URLRequest("jsp/downloadpdf.jsp?fileName=Fundraiser_flyer_2008.pdf");
navigateToURL( jspLink, "_blank" );
JSP code:
<%@ page errorPage="error.jsp" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
//Get the parameters
String downloadFileName=request.getParameter("fileName");
String fileName = application.getRealPath("/downloads/" +
downloadFileName);
File file = new File(fileName);
if (!file.exists()) {
throw new IOException("File does not exist.");
// Get the size of the file
long length = file.length();
// You cannot create an array using a long type.
// It needs to be an int type.
// Before converting to an int type, check
// to ensure that file is not larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE.
if (length > Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
throw new IOException("File too big.");
response.reset();
response.resetBuffer();
response.setContentType( "application/pdf" );
response.setHeader ("Content-Disposition", "filename=" +
downloadFileName);
//Prevent the Java error: "getOutputStream() has already
been called for this response"
out.clear();
out = pageContext.pushBody();
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
OutputStream output = response.getOutputStream();
try {
int curByte=-1;
while( (curByte=in.read()) !=-1){
output.write(curByte);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace(System.out);
} finally{
output.flush();
in.close();
response.flushBuffer();

FileReference Object is giving file name and other details but not the actual path.

Hi,
Try these 3 solutions
1. Did you start vncserver services as:
service vncserver start
2.Check that port 5901 has not been blocked by a firewall:
# nc -vz localhost 5901
You should get a connection and a termination. If you get an error, fix the firewall.
3. service iptables stop
Hope This Helps

How can i attach files in oracle applications

Hi,
How can i attach files in oracle applications ? Is there any thing like open dialogue box?
krishna

Hi Naveen,
While I am searching for attaching files to oracle forms in forum, I found you. I have a question; probably you could help me out. I have a custom form which needs to have the facility to open the text files from C drive and load the data into Oracle tables.
The custom form will be attached to Oracle apps responsibility... We are currently using forms6i.
Could you help me out to open a dialog box which provides the users to open the text files from C drive when user clicks on a button
I have attached d2kcomm and d2kwutil to the form. It complies at the form level
but still it is not showing the dialog box.
I would appreciate if you can help me in this regard.
Thanks in Advance
Ravi.

Open pdf file in flex

Hi Guys,
I want to open pdf file in Flex (Web Application). I am unable to open it, Please guide and help me.
Thanks in advance..
Rangrajan.

Rangrajan,
If you have the complete URL to the file; for example http://forums.adobe.com/filename.pdf
or C:\users\yourname\filename.pdf
Although I have not used it, you can pass the URL to Drumbeat Insight iFrame
You can try their product, get prices for source code or library here: http://drumbeatinsight.com/products
They offer email support for their products.
You can make your own iFrame, with several sources. Here is some background.
http://www.ozzu.com/flash-forum/targeting-iframe-from-flash-t30013.html
Let me know if this solves your file issue.
I need to write a server-side app to listen to my web service, upload the PDF, then write a temporary file.pdf to the server,
before my web app can load the PDF into a web hosted iFrame.
Adobe needs to make this easy (and I even know some developers in the San Jose Adobe headquarters).

How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end

How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end
Dear Sir/Madame,
I am creating a exception report at the server-end using utl file utility. I want to display this report at the client end. A user doesn't have any access to server. Will u please write me the solution and oblige me.
Thanks
Rajesh Jain

One way of doing this is to write a PL/SQL procedure that uses UTL_FILE to read the file and DBMS_OUTPUT to display the contents to the users.

How to open the file types of iOSAPP(ipa),EPUBfile(.epub) in windows 7(32 bit)

iOS apps can be added to an iTunes library and thereafter transferred to an iOS device. They cannot be opened directly on a PC.
epub files can be added to an iTunes library, and thereafter transferred to an iOS device where they can be read with the iBooks application. Files protected with Apple's DRM cannot be opened directly on a PC, though there are programs such as Kindle and Calibre that will open non-protected epub files.

Opening SWF Files in the Application window

Hello Everyone,
We have a problem in opening .swf files in our application.
We had quick time movies(.mov) which we used to open and
play inside the application window, using QuickTime Framework APIs
in the code.
Presently we had converted these quicktime movies(.mov) into
.swf files and we are unable to open the same using Quick Time
Framework in MacOSX.
Can you please suggest me as how should I proceed, i.e which
framework should I use in the code to open and play .swf files in
the application window?
It will be better, if you can send me a small sample code to
use in my application for MacOSX.
Awaiting for your kind reply,
Thanking you,
With Best regards,
Anil.

HOW TO OPEN WINDAT FILES

How to open windat files which come along with E mails from microsoft users ?

That is priceless, "you can ignore winmail.dat...." No I can't. They are often a drawing or purchase order I require for a job.
I am running outlook on my mac and I still can't open them. All my other devices open these attachments no problem (none of them are apple). The people sending me these attachments are using macs. The only thing that has changed since I started encountering this problem is my hardware. I still use outlook, I have the same email address. The PDF attachments are being sent by the same people in the same way. When I had an iphone they opened on there too. Why do all the people on this forum keep blaming microsoft. Why can't macs read microsoft RTF, much like gmail or yahoo manage to do.
I cannot go asking busy project managers to send me attachments in a different format simply because I bought what I thought to be a decent computer.
