I know that httpService in Flex can configure the data as an object, but I want to do the same thing, but with URLLoader. Is that possible and how would I do it?
View 2 RepliesI have to populate an Advanced Data Grid which have the following fields: Continent->State->Society-->Actual Value-->Estimate Value I want to simulate a financial market so i have to change some of the values by asynchronous request from an HTTPService; If necessary i'll post the .as file, but it is generated automatically by Flex Builder.
Here's the code of the client side Flex/Air application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute"
[Code].....
I have an xml file (externally saved) that is similar to the following:
[root]
[main]
[title]...[/title]
[Code]....
What I like to do is to get what's in [title] tag using HTTPservice, import it into Flex, and save it as array objects, and do the same thing for [content]. This way I can later refer the array object saying title[0] or content[2].
I'm trying to reuse the HTTPService object in a flex app but I'm running into a problem. In the handler for ResultEvent.RESULT I'm removing the listener, but it isn't removed. I've have to catch the asyncToken from send() and attach a new property so I know what it's supposed to do in the handler.URL...You can right-click and view source.Has anyone else run into an issue where listeners aren't removed? Should HTTPService not be reused?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to send some data to PHP using HTTPService POST but for some reason it's not working. The same example works with GET but not with POST:
private function start():void{
var param:Object = {};
param.date = "2010-10-10";
[code]....
But when I change the method in HTTPService to GET and in PHP I get the result as expected - PHP sends back the date:
2010-10-10
I'm using mx.rpc.http.HTTPService to retrieve data from a web service. On the initial call to "loadWsData", HTTPservice accurately retrieves all the data.
However, on any and all subsequent calls HTTPService does not accurately retrieve the data; rather it always retrieves the first data set. I've confirmed that the web service is providing accurate data, both from web browsers and a ruby ws client script.

I'm getting really annoyed by Flex. Is there a way to make it wait for an httpservice to get its data without having to use a timer?
At the moment my code looks like this:
protected function loginUser(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if(txtEmail.text == "" || txtPassword.text == "")
{
[Code].....
When I do user.login(), it sends a request with a HTTPservice from my external AS class. In the result event handler for this httpservice, I set a public variable to true or false, depending on whether the user's credentials are correctly in the DB.
I then use a getter to get that boolean value. However, without the timer, it always returns false because my code is faster than the event result handler. If that makes sense.
So I have to use a timer to stall my application for one second.. But seriously, that doesn't make sense to me. There has to be a better way, no?
send xml data to the server using HttpService request thr POST in Flex?
View 1 RepliesI want to use an HTTPService to load some data (number of columns and number of rows) which change randomly by a certain frequency I get the string like freq#ncols#nrows#value. How can i display for example: 1000#21#13#2391 that means: in 21 col, 13 row i have the value of 2391 which changes every 1 second.

I've doing a bit of "training" at working with Flex and Remote Data from XML files.This is my HTTPService
<mx:HTTPService id="loginData" url="com-handler/basic.xml" showBusyCursor="true">
</mx:HTTPService>
I have a button and when its clicked its call a function, that calls loginData.send and does a little IF condition, that IF condition relies on the data returned by loginData.The condition doesn't work because its called right next to the loginData.send, and .send method still didn't returned the values from the XML file. But if you click it a second time a second after the first click the IF condition works.So to deal with i wanted to do a eventListener so that when loginData.send returned the data from the XML it fires up the IF condition. But i don't know how to do it.
My xml data [URL]. I need to load this xml data through httpservice and in the handle result function I need to access the individual data like complaints.complaint.title using for loop function. I had tried this I couldn't get the result as I need
<s:HTTPService id="Complaints" url="[URL]" result="Complaints_resultHandler(event)" fault="Complaints_faultHandler(event)" >
</s:HTTPService> <fx:Script> <![CDATA[
protected function Complaints_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
[Code] .....
I need to get the data like title, complainturl, latitude, longtitude etc.
I'm using mx.rpc.http.HTTPService to retrieve data from a web service. On the initial call to "loadWsData", HTTPService accurately retrieves all the data. However, on any and all subsequent calls HTTPService does not accurately retrieve the data; rather it some how always retrieves the first data set. I've confirmed that the web service is providing accurate data, both from web browsers and a ruby ws client script. If I terminate the flex app and restart it, it will retrieve the accurate data.
ActionScript Code:
private function loadWsData():void{
var webService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
webService.url = serviceUrl;
webService.method = "GET";
webService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, function(event:ResultEvent):void{
var rawData:String = String(event.result);
var user:Object = JSON.decode(rawData).user;});
webService.send();}
The form is in a component lauched as a popUp, form data consists in:
login:String
password:String
I thought of a few different ways, but I don't like them..in the popUp, send button triggers a function that gets the form values and stores them in an Object, then saves the Object in the model, then dispatches a CreateSessionEvent. The CreateSessionCommand execute method is called, and it send the HTTPService passing the object from the model. (but then what if the model somehow doesn't get update and I send the same request twice?) I could try to get the form data from the command execute method itself.. how can I access them though, since it is a popUp (created with PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, LoginDialog),true))
I'd love to see an example flex+rail with restful xml application by the way, know of any?
I'm using Flash 4.0 as UI tier, and I'm trying to send data to the server side, which runs on Tomcat. I wrote a servlet that the calls are directed to it. But I do not understand how can I see the data that was sent from the flash tier. to clarify, hereby example:
Flash tier:
<fx:Declarations>
<s:HTTPService
id="setCustomerDataService"
[Code]....
how can I retrieve "data" from Flash, in my Servlet?
I was wondering what people are using for externally configuring logging in a Flex app. Are there any ready baked solutions out there, similar to Log4J's configuration via properties files for instance?
View 1 RepliesI have been trying to test my application to make sure that all the important classes can serialize/reload themselves properly (especially those which implement IExternalizable):
[Test]
public function testMyObjectSerialization():void {
var myobj:MyObject = new MyObject();[code]....
And I would like to be warned when I try to serialize a strongly-typed object which does not have a [RemoteClass] set (because that almost certainly represents a bug in my code).So, is there any way to configure the AMF serializer to give warnings?Also, it seems like this might be possible using services-config.xml... But the documentation seems to imply that services-config is channel-level, and I'd really like it if my unit tests could run without talking to the server (and I'm not using LCDS, so a bunch of the services-config wouldn't apply to me anyway).
I would like to know how to configure the flex crossdomain.xml in tipfy with the Google app engine skd. Tipfy is a framework using in Gae. I would like to know: where I can place the crossdomain.xml, in the root or other place, do I need script to redirect to the xml, what files that I need to modify, eg. app.yaml. Any other things or file I need to modify or create to make it work.
View 2 RepliesI've downloaded BlazeDS 4 and installed in on my Tomcat server. How can I make it to listen to port distinct from 8080?

View 2 Repliesi have my HTTPService, it looks like this :
<s:HTTPService
id="setCustomerInstalledPackageService"
url="http://localhost:8090/myapp/servletName"
[code]......
I'm trying to configure BlazeDS to work over HTTPS. We've got Apache in the front that is set to redirect all http traffic to https. Apache then communicates with the application (a JBoss AS 5.1) via http. I've tried a lot of configurations for BlazeDS, and finally the following solution worked for me:
services-config.xml
<services-config><services>
<service-include file-path="remoting-config.xml" />
<service-include file-path="messaging-config.xml" />
</services><channels>
[Code] .....
The thing here is that in my-secure-amf channel, I use mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel in the channel-definition, and flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint (not flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint). This has probably something with the Apache-Jboss setup to do, but I haven't found anything that explains what the different tags actually define. To get some sense in all of this, what happens when defining channels and endpoint, using different urls and classes?

View 2 RepliesI have a Flex client making RESTful calls to a webservice using HTTPService. The server is returning JSON responses, which we would like to compress. Can Flex using HTTPService handle gzip-encoded responses? If so, what steps are required to make it work (e.g., which headers to set, how to decompress, etc.)? If not, can you suggest a simple alternative?

View 1 RepliesXML is cool in flex, but I have an annoying problem to solve, caused by what I can imagine is a feature. You see, when you have just one tag of something, it creates an object which is not an array. But when finds more than one, it puts it on an array structure.[code]I could check the format of resObj.specifictag (to check if it is has an array) and then duplicate the code (for each case). But -even if it's calling a function- I don't think it is an elegant solution.Well, I hope someone has a good idea on this matter. (I know from experience that SO has much more C++ experts than flex, but well...)The perfect thing would be that HTTPrequest handled every tag in a consistent way (using always arrays... though I'm guessing that that would also have its drawbacks).
