Can I show in the header string instead of the column.headerText of the datagrid a text from textarea?
Thanks in advance, Dimitri

I cannot get this example to work (export datagrid as csv and save as a .xls type). I want to export my current datagrid values as an excel spreadsheet. I only get as far as getting the user to download the file and then it gives me a message when I open it in excel: Your browser does not appear to support frame based web-pages.
it also gives me the following message when I try opening it in notepad:

?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”ISO-8859-1″ ?>

Fleet Management Solution

Your browser does not appear to support frame based web-pages.

Any help will be appreciated!

I want to fetch file name passed as paramenter flex to perl script and then echo the same on my flex GUI, please let me know how can it be achieved.

What is wrong in the following perl script as i m getting IO error
#!C:\perl\bin\perl.exe

use CGI qw(:standard);
my $query = new CGI;

print $query->param(’filesend’);

Flex code

private function onResult():void
{
txt.text= txt.text + "Msg1: " + xmlService.lastResult;

}
]]>

{EdTI.text}

Hello! I have tried your code, it compiles fine but when I try to download the csv file, I receive an exception:
Il s’est produit une erreur de code ActionScript :
Error #2044: IOErrorEvent non pris en charge : text=Error #2038: Erreur d’E/S de fichier.
So it’s an I/O exception on the file, apparently at this line:
if (!downloadFileRef){
downloadFileRef = new FileReference();
}

Would someone have an idea on this? Thank you for your code otherwise. It’s been of great help.

I don’t know is this is the best way but it work.
What I have done is some small changes in the following lines

DataGridCSVExportExample.mxml before

DataGridCSVExportExample.mxml after

DataGridDataExporter.as before
public class DataGridDataExporter
DataGridDataExporter.as after
[Bindable]
public class DataGridDataExporter

@Dimiorla It compiles fine with Flex SDK (mxmlc), I don’t know why it’s giving error in FlexBuilder 3.0. I verified and so far could not figure out, doesn’t seem to be path issue.

Using Eclipse/FlexBuilder’s CTRL+CLICK over class (DataGridDataExporter) name in mxml code, doesn’t even open the DataGridDataExporter.as?

I would try to figure out, it might take sometime because I don’t use FlexBuilder. I am a VIM + SDK guy

Thanks for reporting the issue, I really appreciate. And sorry about late response, you have to leave so many comments.

Your DataGridDataExporter is an excellent application.
I am trying to build you example with flex builder3. I have tried many things, but I get every time an other error. I am not that experienced with AS3 so I was wondering is you could update your blog.
Any way thanks for your contribution to the community.
Best regards Dimitris Orlandos
P.S My error comes up in this line.
console.text = DataGridDataExporter.exportCSV (dg);
