Hi all!

I was wondering if there is a way of using the FileSystemTree or simular in a browser?

Basically I want users to be able to create folders and files on the server under a root directory dedicated to them. I know this can be done using AIR but wondered if this was achievable with an online app in their browser?

Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks in advance all! :)

FileSystemTree is AIR only. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/class-summary.html

You're looking at building a custom component that makes server-side calls to your directory structure.

yes that's right.

So far i can get the server directory into a Flex tree, but it is unordered and uneditiable

do you happen to know how to take a cfdirectory query and send it to Flex as xml to populate the tree? :D

Thanks.

My CF is limited at best, but Flex's Data services are fairly robust and it's married very closely to CF. It may be as simple as Data -> Create Application from Database, which will create strongly-typed objects (with CRUD statements, no less) from your CF db. If not, I'm afraid I can't offer much help beyond that, unless you're able to build a WSDL web service.
