    Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

    Salesforce.com and Adobe announced this week the Flex Toolkit for Apex(SalesForce SaaS app) which allows Flex-driven Flash applications to be integrated into Salesforce apps. is a great news for rich Internet application application developers and now their apps can deliver information through an on-demand enterprise platform.

    Third-party Flex applications are packaged-up and served from the Salesforce servers and so no additional infrastructure is needed. The toolkit shares the same single sign-on as the a regular Salesforce app which makes the experience more seamless.

    Salesforce also released documentation and guidelines for developers.

    Hmmm this seems a great combination as recently salesforce tied up with Google Gears and now with flex to leverage the real essence of Web2.0.

    his toolkit also supports the current alpha 1 release of Adobe’s Apollo.

    Receiving data in response to file upload in Flex using FileReference

    Friday, July 13th, 2007

    I don’t know how much you have faced this problem and were unable to figure out the way to do it. Today I had this problem and I found the solution and wanna share this with all of you. So here it is,

    My problem was after uploading data to a server via Flex i.e. FileReference.upload,  there was no way to receive data back from the server in response to your upload. A common requirement. e.g. Upload a file for processing, server returns results (typically status).

    Solution: Add a listener on your FileReference object: (Make sure you have flash player build version greater than 9.0.28). To check this right click on the Flash application opened in Bowser and choose about.

    fileReference.addEventListener(DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA, responseHandler);

    private function responseHandler( event:DataEvent ) :void
    {
    var response:XML = XML( event.data );
    Alert.show(response.toString())
    }

    Have fun :)
