[flexcoders] About downloading files in Flex

[Jesus Salvador Ramos Cardona]

Hi all,   We have developed a Flex app which is in production now. However, we have a new requirement, which asks for the ability to download PDF files. These files are reports that are generated dynamically. I have successfully set up the report generation, and am using this piece of code in my Delegate (since we are using the cairngorm microarchitecture) to make it work:   public void printDetalleLineaBancaria(String ticket, Integer idDetalleLiquidacion, String status) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {         HttpServletResponse response = Gateway.getHttpResponse();         response.setContentType("application/pdf");         response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"MyReport.pdf" + "\"");         byte[] b = generateJasperReport(“MyReport”);         response.setContentLength(b.length);         int offset = 0;         int numRead = 0;         while (offset < b.length && (numRead = fis.read(b, offset, b.length - offset)) >= 0) {             offset += numRead;         }         fis.close();         response.getOutputStream().write(b);     }   I am associating this method to a button, gong through all the cairngorm components. However, I am not getting any results. The browser’s status bar indicates it is loading something, then it stops and freezes with “Transferring Data from localhost…”.   Is this the right way to do it? Is the result of my stream going through the Flash gateway? What is the best way to satisfy this requirement?   Help, please!   J.   Jesús Ramos Cardona Desarrollo de Sistemas de Casa de Bolsa [EMAIL PROTECTED] +52 (55) 51 74 22 22 ext. 1250 Ixe Grupo Financiero Este correo electrónico y sus anexos pueden contener información CONFIDENCIAL para uso exclusivo de su destinatario.
