Subject: [flexcoders] Open CF generated PDF report in new window from Flex?
> I'm converting an old CF app over to Flex. I have dozens of .CFR reports I
> want to call - they generate PDF not FlashPaper.
>
> I'm sure this is easy, and I'm over thinking it, but how do I post some data
> to new window that calls a CFR or other existing web page?
>
> What are the different ways people are doing this? I need to POST not GET
> the data to the pages.
>
> My first thought was to use an ExternalInterface call, but I've read that
> FireFox does not work with this method too well and I'm not sure how to POST
> with it to a new window.
>
> My next thought was to call back to JavaScript in the parent window and have
> it post for me. However, I'm not quite sure how and if this is a hack.
>
> Am I over-thinking this? Is there a simpler way? I've searched for hours.
>
> Thanks for your help
