FileUpload Question

[Rabel]

This is a question for people who have used/worked on the fileupload.fla file that comes with flash. I am trying to make a remove button for the file. Right now it only has the browse button, any help is really apprieciated.

Thanks
Randy

what exactly do you want to remove, the filename from the upload control or the file from the server?

thanks mcmcom, sorry the filename from the upload control

[Rabel]

I guess you dont know how to delete the filename from the upload control, so it would be good to know how to use the delete file from the server - could you explain that then.
Thanks

you could just use some code in any button. Something like this could work

on(release){
this.TheUploadControl.TheTextBoxName.Text = "";
}


i dont know the controls name or the textbox but if you use the TARGET button in the Actionscript panel you should get the names.

hth,

Come on this is why I wanted someone who has worked on the file before - Could someone who has worked with this file please offer some insight.

Ok listen man, this is FREE help, so try to keep the snide remarks to yourself. A quick peek at the .fla shows me two areas where filenames are stored. Just like i said in my original post, there is nothing special or different about them Status Text is a standard text box, imagesCb is a standard combobox. if you need the filename cleared from something else be more specific and leave the attitude at home.

Status Text

//clears the status area text
statusArea.text = "";


display image combo box :

//clears all items from the combobox
imagesCb.items.clear();


hope this helps you,

Listen mcmcom, while I do appreciate the help you are trying to give - the first line in my question is "This is a question for people who have used/worked on the fileupload.fla file that comes with flash." And what FREE help shouldnt be correct or good help - then you dont know how forums work or maybe Ive had it wrong with all the help I have given. And when people see that there are more than one post then they will sometimes not look at the question.

Clearing the status_txt does not do everything to remove it and maybe its as easy as getting this to work

//the onCancel() method is called, and passed a reference to the FileReference object
fileRefListener.onCancel = function (fileRef:FileReference):Void {
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
status_txt.text +="User terminated file upload. \n";
}

but I think it has to do with this area too

fileRefListener.onSelect = function (fileRef:FileReference):Void {
uploadButn.enabled = true;
reDrawPB("progressBar", 738, 340);
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
status_txt.text += "File is selected to upload \n";
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
status_txt.text += "-------------------------------FILE DETAILS------------------------- \n";
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
status_txt.text += "File Size: " + fileRef.size + " bytes" + '\n';
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
status_txt.text += "File Type: " + fileRef.type + '\n';
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
status_txt.text += "File Name: " + fileRef.name + '\n';
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
status_txt.text += "Date Created: " + fileRef.creationDate + '\n';
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
status_txt.text += "Date Modified: " + fileRef.modificationDate + '\n';
status_txt.vPosition = status_txt.maxVPosition;
status_txt.text += "--------------------------------------------------------------------------- \n";
}
because the preloader will be moved off the screen and I guess uploadButn.enabled = false; - I am not using the combo box for what I am doing so I wont need to do anything with that. I tried this

bt.onPress = function() {
fileRef.cancel()
}

and it doesnt work.

Any Ideas?

Nothing?
