    <p>The code below compiles fine on the Flex 4 SDK on Fedora 15. Mouse-click opens the dialog box, I click okay, and a file is saved, <strong>but the file is empty</strong>. I run the same SWF file (that was compiled on the Linux machine) on a Windows machine, and the created file contains the expected data.</p> <p>Then I broke the FileReference declaration out of the function into the class level, hoping to avoid <a href="http://www.techper.net/2007/12/30/flash-filereferencebrowse-problems-on-linux/" rel="nofollow">a known bug</a>, but the same problem persists.</p> <p>Hoping to set up a workaround, I added the debug Flash player to my path and ran the file from Flash without the benefit of the browser, and it <strong>works</strong>. So now a Flex problem has become a Firefox problem, maybe owing to a <a href="http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-flash-player-10-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/#install-adobe-flash-player-64-bit" rel="nofollow">shady procedure I used to install the plugin</a> without really understanding what was happening. I am running Firefox 5.0.</p> <p>In essence my workflow is fixed, but perhaps people who performed the above will not be able to use projects with FileReference.save()? Should I be worried about this edge case?</p> <pre><code>/* WriteTheFile.as Original code by Brian Hodge (brian@hodgedev.com) Test to see if ActionScript/Flash can write files */ package{ import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event; import flash.events.MouseEvent; import flash.utils.ByteArray; import flash.net.FileReference; public class WriteTheFile extends Sprite { private var _xml:String; private var fr:FileReference; public function WriteTheFile():void { if (stage) init(); else addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init); } private function init(e:Event = null):void { removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init); //Calling the save method requires user interaction and Flash Player 10 stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, _onMouseDown); } private function _onMouseDown(e:MouseEvent):void { fr = new FileReference() fr.save("&lt;xml&gt;&lt;test&gt;data&lt;/test&gt;&lt;/xml&gt;", "filename.txt"); } } } </code></pre> <p>EDIT: was missing a line, fixed above</p> <p>EDIT: addressed answer in code above, but the same problem exists.</p> <p>EDIT: This works on the same system when the standalone player is invoked. Therefore this is a browser (FF 5.0) plugin problem.</p>

    2. COyes, thanks for point it out. Added missing line to _onMouseDown() var fr:FileReference = new FileReference();

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
