I building a website with Ruby on Rails framework.The site will contain a flash application that will interact with the rails application using web service.My partner builds the flash application and he told me that the flash application interacts through WSDL file.
I am new to web services. I would like to know how to create the WSDL file, and how to make the interaction between the rails application and the WSDL file.
I am looking for a tutorial that will show me how to create an online 'design & print' service. ie the app has say 3 text areas / 3 image areas / drawings areas and a seperate controls to rotate the text and images etc. I then need to export the data as a vector for digital printing.
View 8 Repliesam building a site in DW CS4. The site is for a custom nameplate service; once they choose a design and colorway, I'd like to allow customers to preview their name on the sign with, say, 6 different font options to choose from. I've never done any kind of interactive Flash--other than simple mouse actions, so I am at a total loss as to where to get started. Has anybody seen a template that might work?
View 3 RepliesI need to call an HTTP service using Flex that has variable arguments. I'm using Flash Builder 4 (Gumbo) to create the service definition, but there's no UI for variable arguments, and the subclass of HTTPServiceWrapper that it creates doesn't seem to support it.
View 1 RepliesI am experiencing a strange problem when I want to bind a service to a button or something else:
[Code]...
I can add the services to the Data Services panel but I have two strange things:
1) when I want to configure the return type he doesn't let me create a new ValueObject type, I only get the bottom datagrid which states: Properties returned by the operation: Property: country_Id, provence_Id, city_Id, id_cdpc, district_Id with the related values on the right side. Why can't I create a new data type on the top?
2) When I accept this and want to add the service call to a button (drag&drop) I get the following error: Error occurred while generating code. Make sure that there are no compiler eroors and try again after reopening the file. Componentn type services.cdpc.CDPC not found... (ps: When I perform a Test Operation everything seems to be ok, I get the expected output values)
I am passing array collection from flex to web service, and now that array collection want to use in asp.net web service.
suppose i have passed one array collection, and based on that array collection i want fetch value from database and want to generate report and returning path to flex.
proper endpoint configuration for my WCF service to enable a Flash app to consume it.
View 1 RepliesI'm not sure if this is technically a web service or not but I have a Flash file that periodically needs to make a round trip to a DB. As it stands, AS3 uses the URLLoader class to exchange XML with an ASP.NET/VB file on the server. The aspx code then goes to the DB and returns whatever information is requested back to the Flash file.As my program grows and I need to execute a larger variety of tasks on the server, I'm wondering if I should just keep placing functions in that same aspx file and specify in AS3 which function I should load for any given task. OR, is it better to break up my functionality into several different aspx files and call the appropriate file for the task?Are there any obvious pros and cons to either method that I should consider?

View 1 RepliesHow do you communicate an error to the web service consumer ?
For example, my web service has a function to insert employee into db.Suppose while inserting the data , the database gave an error,what should be the best way to inform the user about the error.
One way is to depict it through the return value of the web service method but what to do when the function is supposed to return a complex object like employee when there is no error ,and will send an error string when there is an error ?
determine what is preventing my web service from being called. We have a working application in production and the developer who wrote it has left. am trying to build it on my machine and I can see a web service call in fiddler being made with the URL "/Services.asmx/MethodName" (as a GET request).I have set my break point in the asmx web service and it is not being hit. All I get in the flex front end is a pop up with " The remote server failed to respond and may be offline. he web service is in the same application as the web app that hosts the SWF file.I have the cross domain policy file in place.
View 1 RepliesI have an html file and I'm using swfobject 2.2 to embed a flash file into the html file. This flash file is getting data from a web service, so it is trying to communicate with an "Internet-enabled location". I know and have read a lot about peolpe having trouble with this kind of problem, but I can't seem to find a solution for it. After this dialog box pops up I add the actual swf file and my project folder which is in wwwroot to the trusted location settings. This works fine, but only when I use the absolute file path in my browser.

I am using a web service + as2 for data to the server. The problem is that the swf works perfectly fine as it should on my friends pc, but the same swf get hanged on mine and even on some other. whenever i complie and test the same swf from within the flash IDE it works fine but when I upload it to the server and test it via browser it fails, but at the same time my friend says the swf is working fine on his browsers. I have placed the crossdomain.xml with parameters allowing anydomain to access.

View 7 RepliesHas anyone used or is aware of a service browser to test AMF calls?I am looking for a tool similar to ZamfBrowser ( http:[url].... ), but one that works for the Java environment.ZamfBrowser is geared towards AMFPHP.The idea here is to provide a service browser, that allows developers to test Java services using the AMF protocol, without having to go through the Flex UI all the time. There has got to be something out there already for this, but I can't seem to locate anything..... It's kind of funny and strange that a service browser exists for AMFPHP but not for regular AMF calls in a Java environment.
I would imagine something exists under Blaze or LCDS? ...Trying to find it in the docs but can't seem to find anything ....The best alternative I can think of at the moment is to use FlexMonkey to record stuff, and then to simulate it using that....which is okay I guess but still sucks because you have to go in and create the Flex UI first, whereas with something like ZamfBrowser, you simply point it at the service calls,it tells the server-side developers if their code works, etc. generates the required as3 classes for you... and makes the integration process much easier in a large team.
I am trying to call my WCF service through a Flex application. I'm getting the System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException. I have Integrated Windows Auth switched to on, anonymous access off, and I've set impersonate to false in my web.config. The project and virtual dir are named the same too.
View 2 Repliesis it possible to stop a web service from executing?
I have a flex web application that searches clients with both full name and client id, when searching by name sometimes the usuer just types the last name and it takes a long time.
Since the app is used when clients are waiting in line, I would like to be able to stop the search and use their full name or id instead, and avoid waiting for the results and then having to search the user manually within the results.
I meant "web service" I actually meant mx.rpc.soap.mxml.WebService, I want to stop it from waiting for the result event and the fault event.
How can I use a .NET service object in an Adobe Flex application? Is it even possible? Do I have to use some third-party tool?

I'm trying to solve a similar problem as was described here - to create a Windows Service for taking snapshots of rich webpages (html+js+flash) and saving them to a PDF file.
The bundle Firefox+cmdlnprint did the trick for me. I wrote a simple program running as a service that invokes Firefox to make a PDF. All seems well, the PDF gets created, but Flash is completely missing. Although, when started not as a service, Flash renders just fine.
Can anyone shed a light on what blocks Flash from rendering and if there's a workaround?

View 3 RepliesMy flex 3.5 application has an audio player whose content is accessed by calling an AMF service to get the mp3 data. As far as I can tell, flash.media.Sound is initialized with a URLRequest, so it's not clear to me how I can provide it with data using my RemoteObject.
I want to do one of the following things:
Provide data to the Sound object's load method from a RemoteObject service call.
Create a URLRequest object that will perform the requisite AMF wrapping so that my service implementation will look exactly like any other service call if at all possible. Any alternative that allows me to invoke a PHP4 AMF service and play the audio it returns in a Flash audio player.
