from flex, when calling a .net web method that returns a custom class, I always recieve an ObjectProxy, even if I have the same class created on flex. How do I manage this ObjectProxy as the class I have?

I have noticed two differences between spark and mx forms which are causing me some problems. It seems by default the mx forms are arranged to the label is above the form input item. In Spark they are arranged next to each other. Also the label in spark forms are bold by default.For example MX code could be
<mx:Form width="100%">
<mx:FormItem indicatorGap="0">
<s:Label text="label1"/>

I have Basic Authorization mechanism on the server for WSDL/SOAP. How I can send "Authorization" header through Flex WebService?
Simplified example:
var ws:WebService = new WebService();
ws.wsdl = "http://localhost:8000/api/service.wsdl"
var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.insertNewLines = false;
I've been searching for the last couple days but can't seem to find a basic example of what I'm looking for. I'm developing a Flex 4.5 app and in it I have a viewstack of 2 components that use some of the same services. Currently the only way I can get the app to correctly use the web services is by defining 2 different web services that use the same PHP web service file. For example: I have an app, and within it I have a viewstack with tab navigation of 2 components: #1) retrieve a list of all Salary Employees, and #2) retrieve a list of all Contractors. Currently to get it working I am defining a UsersTableEmployees webservice within component #1 and a UsersTableContractors webservice within component #2, but they both point to the same PHP class, and only differ in the arugment value I pass to them. Ie, getUsers("employee") and getUsers ("contractors"). Of course this is not best practice.
Searching StackOverflow and Google gives me many results about ColdFusion and MVC (example What's the best way to share data between components in Flex?), but I'm still confused. Can anyone here point me to a basic example (even sample MVC) and source code of an app that uses Zend AMF and allows different components to call common web services?
I am developing an application with multiple windows, all using their own web services.Is it bad practice to use more than one web service per application? If so, what are the disadvantages?
View 1 RepliesWe have Flex applications that connect to our ASP.NET 3.5 Web Applications and usually download lot of data. Now considering XML as transport, for every item, it transmits meta data twice for example.. instead of transferring int value as <Customer CustomerID=23/> it transmits <Customer><CustomerID>23</CustomerID></Customer> .. now here is where bandwidth conservation becomes an issue.
FLEX Can not read GZip and DEFLATE compressed HTTP Response ( So cant use any of them )I heard of some WSCompression but it requires WSE 3.0 now I am skeptical to introduce too many dependency in my hosting environment which requires too much management and overheads. Is WSE 3.0 only dll library which requires no installation on production server? Does it require rewriting all WebService attribute? Or is it simple one time configuration and more or less, anyone knows does it work with Flex ? Flex dynamically generates web services, and we use lot of its auto generated code, now if we want to support compression then do we need to rewrite lot of code?
Simplest solution I can think of is, reduce unnecessary XML tags and reduce them down to attributes to save bandwidth. Is there an easy way to achieve it, our classes has more then 50-70 properties, I understand it will be nightmare to add attributes to each property but we dont know how to do it in case of SOAP.

Although iPhone support JSON natively, AMF is a binary protocol and it supposes to use much less bandwidth. Do you think using AMF is a good idea?Just found this AMF library in cocoa (Objective-C):Here's the famous benchmark that shows AMF is smaller and faster than JSON + gzip in Flex:

What would be the best way to secure .net web services used by a flex application (both desktop and browser) that requires login?

View 4 RepliesI am using Flex/Flash to build a UI which front-ends my Rails server application. I am using WebORB as the communication mechanism. My question should apply beyond just WebORB, however. (I think).
Specifically, it has to do with the services-config.xml file. I have a local (laptop) dev environment, a remote dev and a remote production environment. I am sick of editing the URL in the services-config.xml file, rebuilding and deploying every time I want to test in a different environment.

By setting the URI="/weborb" and giving it a relative path, I figured it would work. locally--but it doesn't when I deploy it to my remote dev and prod environments (Heroku). Weird.
General information:
I use Flex 4.5
I use FlashBuilder 4
I generate the WSDL using JAX-WS 2.2 (via a GlassFish 3.1 AS)

In the Java code, I have a base class for a Client, and 2 extending classes:
public class Client {
public String getName() {

As the title indicates the question is in regards to the service layer of a flex application. Specifically in a test case class. To call the services the user must first authenticate through an html/CF based page. Once that's done and the authentication has occurred the user is directed to the html page with the flex application embedded in. Once authenticated the server side CF code writes a cookie to the users computer. This cookie is then read by the flex app and is required for the flex app to make calls to the CF services.
The question is: how should this be handled in a test case class for the service class in the flex app? The following steps need to basically take place: use some account data to hit the server and authenticate, the cookie then needs to be written (which it will already), then the test case needs to pick up the session id from the cookie and pass it to the service call within the test case. That just all seems like too much for a test case class.
So, how is this type of thing usually handled. From what I gather it's typical for web service calls to require a session id like this.
I'm trying to consume a .Net web service of mine in a Flex Builder 3 project. The function's signature in the service is:
bool MyFunction(Enums.Channels var1, Enums.Payments.PayMethods var2)
I tried importing the WSDL with the wizard but when I tried to call the web service it results in an error stating
"Cannot marshall type "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema::EnumsChannel"to simple type"
What kind of object do I need to create in Flex Builder 3 to pass into the webservice so that it will recognize it as the appropriate type? The wizard is not correctly creating the appropriate type. Here is the xsd for the enums.
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:tns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/My.Shared" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/My.Shared">
<xs:simpleType name="Enums.Channels">[code]....
I'd like to try to build my own objects to call the service myself (without the wizard).... created the mx:WebService and mx:Operation but not sure how to handle the enum parameters.
I'm working on a new project in Flex with a CakePHP backend and since I'm using Mate, I wanted to use the RemoteObject stuff it does to call CakePHP.First I tried just doing one call at a time in CakePHP but I saw that that would mean a lot of endpoints, so I looked into some like amfphp for cakephp. I saw that Zend AMF is now the successor to AMFPHP so I wanted to try to integrate it.
I probably spent 8 hours on the final solution that is probably 10 lines of code.So without further ado I give you FlexibleCake: a CakePHP controller that acts as an AMF Endpoint and is able to instantiate and call any controller / method. I also built a "tester" or "explorer" app that allows you to send requests to the end point and visualize the result.

PS there where some changes I had to make to the core CakePHP classes to make it work. It only involved modifying the comments in the model.php class I believe (since Zend AMF reads the comments to gather metadata for the functions called).
i'd like to know if its possible to save information obtained from users to files if the user is accessing the flash file from a cd. I would also like to know how it works if possible. And can the flash file be in .exe instead of .swf?

When I try to create a new project, I get stuck at the server setup screen that forces you to validate your paths for your ColdFusion root folder and your webroot. Every combination I try says either "LiveCycle Data Services is not installed at the specified location" or "Invalid root. The WEB-INF/flex folder must contain either flex-config.xml or services-config.xml." The flex-config.xml file is sitting in that directory. Is there some trick to getting this to work?
