What you need to do is create some xml in your file upload cfm page
<cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="true">
<cftry>
<cffile action="upload" result="newimg" fileField="filedata"
destination="#expandPath('/yourPath')#" nameconflict="overwrite">
<cfxml
variable="status"><result><status>OK</status><message><cfoutput>#expandPath('/yourPath')#</cfoutput>/</message></result></cfxml>
<cfcatch>
<cfxml
variable="status"><result><status>Error</status><message><cfoutput>#cfcatch.Message#</cfoutput></message></result></cfxml>
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<cfoutput>#status#</cfoutput>
</cfprocessingdirective>
, and then in your flex code you need to listen for the
DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA event and then you can parse that xml for the
file name.
public function uploadDataComplete(event:DataEvent):void
{
var result:XML = new XML(event.data);
/* status_txt.text += 'Upload Data Complete';
status_txt.text += 'RESULT: ' + result.toString() + ''
status_txt.text += 'STATUS: ' + result.status + '\n';
status_txt.text += 'MESSAGE: '+ result.message + '\n';
status_txt.text += result.message + fileName; */
//newimg.source = "../../images/" + fileName;
}
