jQuery Uploadify - How to use onComplete?

Question

I'm using uploadify: http://www.uploadify.com/

And have an onComplete:

onComplete: function(response) {
alert(response);
},

My server is sendin back album_id... How do I access that in the response?

Thanks

UPDATING

        onComplete: function(response) {
            jsonObject = jQuery.parseJSON(response.response);
            alert (jsonObject);
            alert(jsonObject.album_id);
        },

both of the alerts don't run?

UPDATE 2 RAils code that is sending back the JSON? Maybe this is the issue?

render :json => { :result => 'success', :album_id => 31313113 }

Solution 1

the onComplete is sending four arguments. So you function should be like this one:

onComplete: function(event, queueID, fileObj, response, data) {
    alert(response.responseText);
    return false;
},

The return false is needed to avoid to trigger the default function.

Solution 2

I believe the response sent back is:

 function UploadComplete(event, queueID, fileObj, response, data) { }

Response would obviously be whatever you're returning. In my case it was a flickrphotoID because my uploadify script was uploading the file to Flickr then waiting for the ID.

If your response is a json object, then you'll need to parse it out.

Maybe rails isn't sending back the right response? I have it harded coded. Uploadify wants JSON right? render :json => { :result => 'success', :album_id => 31313113 }

Sorry! you should use alert(response.responseText)

If you returns JSON data then you have to parse. But if you just return the album id as a value then this code works
