dialog.FileOpen to listbox

[mynameisdezz]

How do I add the filenames and paths to a listbox component from the ffish dialog.fileopen call??

[SWFKit]

The attached sample shows how to do this by using a flash component named "Trigger".

The Trigger component has a "addHandler" method.

In Action script

trigger.addHandler(handlerFunc);

function handlerFunc(arg)
{
    //do something
    ...
}

If the component is triggered, the handlerFunc method will be called.

How to trigger the component to call the handler function? Just set the value of the "fArg" property of the component.

E.g. in ffish script,

FlashPlayer.setVariable("_root.trigger.fArg", "Hello world");

The above code set the fArg property of the component to "Hello world", then the handler function will be called with a parameter "Hello world".

With the "Trigger" component, it's very easy to pass data from ffish script to action script.

The steps of adding files into a list box

1. add a "trigger" component into the flash movie
2. add a handler function in action script

function addFiles(arg)
{
***/*!ffish script will pass a string contains 
***   file names separated by ',', so split it 
***   to an array 
*** */
***
***var files = arg.split(',');
***var i;
***
***/*! add the file names to the list box***
*** */
*** 
***for (i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
***{
******_root.myListBox.addItem(files[i]);
***}
}

trigger.addHandler(addFiles);

3. in the ffish script, trigger the component

var arr = [];
arr[0] = "c:\\1.txt";
arr[1] = "c:\\1.jpg";

/*!The setVariable method can only pass a string to 
   action script, so we must convert the array to 
   string. Then the value passed to the handler 
   function "addFiles" in action script will be
   "c:\1.txt,c:\1.jpg"
 */
FlashPlayer.setVariable("_root.trigger.fArg", arr.toString());
