I have a Flex 3 application that makes a call to a webservice. That webservice calls returns a 2 Mb file that flex reads and parses. The problem is that it takes sometimes 45 seconds. I was wondering if there is a way to cache the response form the webservice? So the next time I load the flash movie it doesn't have to re-download the full file but just the updated data.

View 1 RepliesI'm finding little info out there on using Flash and remoting services. Currently I'm starting out using AMFPHP which works pretty well for sending back simple sets of data but I'd like to send back complex query types which translate to RecordSets. I have two problems:
1) Is this the way it's currently done? PHP backend with AMFPHP for webservices so my Flash program can access it? Or should I be using a different setup?
2) How do I add the mx.remoting services in CS5? The only docs I find say to add it under Other Panels but I don't have the next area under that in CS5.
I have Basic Authorization mechanism on the server for WSDL/SOAP. How I can send "Authorization" header through Flex WebService?
Simplified example:

var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
encoder.insertNewLines = false;
I'm trying to use e4x to retrieve xml from the result event thrown when my Flex webservice is successful.
This is a snippet of the returned xml
<p430:getRoomsResponse xmlns:p430="http://impl.service.com">
<p430:getRoomReturn type="p888:Room" xmlns:p888="http://vo.room.com" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <p888:roomName> ABC
[Code]....
The full xml contains approx 40 of these "ROOM" types containing roomname,size etc.
I want to create a collection containing a list of the 40 room objects based on the xml above.
How can I map the objects from my xml to an object using e4x?
The purpose is to display the objects in a datagrid

We 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.

I have My Sharepoint Web Service URL, but when i try to access it i get HTTP Request Error. My Share point Webservice has credentials in it. I have also set that in Flex.
webService.setRemoteCredentials("CITMOSSAdministrator","Pa$$w0rd"); When i trace the url, my console does read the XML, but i am unable to call the method. It throws me HTTP Request Error.
I am working on a flex application which makes calls to an .NET webservice. I am trying to follow the MVC design pattern. I have created a model, which stores all information received from the webservice. The webservice itself is created by actionscript in the controller. The view in my case, consists of various user-defined components (multiple .mxml files).
The Model is a singleton class, and each of the views accesses a getInstance of the model. The question is how do i access the webservice (i.e. controller) from each of these components? Does the controller also need to be a singleton class just like the model? and let each component get an instance of the controller in order to access the webservice?
I am using a webservice deployed on SAP Web Application Server to create some charts. While migrating my FLEX application from dev to QA, I also wish to change the address of my target webservices in flex, so that they access webservices from QA. What I did was add the target server address as a URL parameter and add these URL parameters as flashvars in Flex.
var wsdlUrl= window.location.search.substring(1);
flashvars.serverUrl = wsdlUrl;
Now I try to access the flashvars during declaration of the webservice
<fx:Declarations>
<cscustomreportservice:CSCustomReportService
id="cSCustomReportService" useProxy="false" wsdl="
[Code].....
But the flashvars are somehow not accessible during the declaration time.
Is there any way I can pass the server URL during runtime so that the URL need not be hardcoded in the Flex application in anyway?

View 1 RepliesI have a component called a TableDataViewer that contains the following pieces of data and their associated set functions:[code]This component is nested in another component as follows:[code]Looking at the trace in the logs, the call to set table is coming before the call to set dataSetLoader.

View 1 RepliesHow does one change / modify the Result property of a web service operation?
For example, I have declared my WebService as follows:
<mx:WebService id="ws">
<mx:operation name="Call_One" result="Call_OneRH(event)" fault="Call_OneFH(event)" />
[Code]...
I want to be able to change the result of the operation "Call_One" to another result, since I am planning to re-use the same web service, but the result would be treated differently.
Am not sure if this would work:
ws.operation.Call_One.result = "myOtherResult"
UPDATE: The problem was not to do with namespaces or flex at all. My webservice was returning the wrapped xml. I was blaming the language I had least experience with before questioning the java...I have a basic soap webservice that I am having trouble reading the result from in flex.I'm a solid java programmer and just trying to get my head around adobe flex.In the documentation I should be able to use "WebService" to return the result in e4x format.
<mx:WebService id="CurrentLayersWS" wsdl="http://localhost:8080/myproject/ws/myservice.wsdl" showBusyCursor="true" result="updateSelected(event)" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString), 'Error'">
<mx:operation name="publisher" resultFormat="e4x">
<mx:request>

Unfortunately, the event object seems to nested and encoded strangely. When I step trough with the debugger I see that responseXml is of type XMLList containing one element (at index 0) of type XML which just contains the following xml:
<sch:temp xmlns:sch="http://www.mycompany.co.uk/myproject/schemas" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ns2:publisherResponse xmlns:ns2="http://www.mycompany.co.uk/myproject/schemas">

Why is my xml nested inside a document with a root node "sch:temp"?

View 2 RepliesHow can I consume a webservice that hasn't explicitely created a crossdomain.xml? I understand it's for security and to prevent cross-site scripting, but it does seem like a major limitation to the Flex framework. For example, if I want to consume a webservice, which is suppose to be language agnostic, then I can't with Flex. The webservice/server has to be specifically prepared for Flex/Flash. If it's not, then it cannot be consumed.
View 3 RepliesI would like to access a soap webservice from a class in a Flex (AIR) Library Project.
How can I instantiate a WebService and get data from a SOAP WebService.
I am using Flex and Actionscript 3, along with Webservices, rpc and a callResponder. I want to be able to, for example, say:
loadData1(); // Loads webservice data 1
loadData2(); // Loads webservice data 2
loadData3(); // Loads webservice data 3
However, Actionscript 3 works with async events, so for every call you need to wait for the ResultEvent to trigger when it is done. So, I might want to do the next request every time an event is done. However, I am afraid that threading issues might arise, and some events might not happen at all. I don't think I'm doing a good job of explaining, so I will try to show some code:
private var service:Service1;
var cp:CallResponder = new CallResponder();
public function Webservice()[code]....
I could ofcourse save the actions in an arraylist, but whose to say that the addToArrayList and the check if other calls are available do not mess eachother up, or just miss each other, thereby halting execution? Is there something like a volatile Arraylist?

So, there are a wealth of Flex articles online about how to handle a .NET WebMethod that returns a DataSet or DataTable. Here is an example: Handling web service results that contain .NET DataSets or DataTables So, I know how to use result.Tables.<tablename>.Rows and the like. But what I cannot seem to figure out or find online is how to go the other direction - a method to pass objects or tables back to the .NET Webservice from Flex, without stooping to passing XML as a string, or making huge web service methods that have one parameter for each property/column of the object being stored. Surely others, smarter than I, have tackled this issue.
I am using ASP.NET 2.0 Typed DataSets, and it would be really nice if I could just pass one object or array of objects from Flex to the web service, populate my Typed DataTable, and do an Update() through the corresponding typed TableAdapter. My dream would be a [WebMethod] something like one of these:

I'm using Flex 4.5 with PHP Zend webservice framework. Basically, I have 2 DataGrids that can drag and drop between each other. At the initializing of the component, I call a webservice to populate the top DataGrid. Then the user can drag rows to the bottom DataGrid that get processed and saved later on. My problem is that I want to have a reset button (or cancel button), that will take the user to a new component in the ViewStack, and if they return to the component with the DataGrids, the top DataGrid has the original records and the bottom DataGrid is empty.
I just can't figure out a good way to repopulate the top DataGrid. I can clear it, but it doesn't seem to refresh with the original data. I've tried unsuccessfully to call the webservice again and set the dataprovider to the new lastResult token. I've also tried unsuccessfully to copy the results of the initial webservice call to an ArrayCollection and simply set a Bindable variable to that ArrayCollection (or a backup of that ArrayCollection holding original records).

I am getting a script timeout (error #1502) when I am calling a SharePoint Web Service (CopyIntoItems) when trying to upload large files (greater than 40 MB). The error does not occur when using the Web Service for smaller files. The large files can be uploaded directly to SharePoint using the web interface therefore it is not a back-end SharePoint issue. I believe the issue has to do with the logic in the WebService Flex component, however I am not sure how to optimize it and I cannot break down the file into smaller chunks as it needs to be together in order to upload with the SharePoint field information.
