Actionscript 3 :: Flex Waiting For Httpservice To Return Data
Dec 21, 2011
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?

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 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"?>

I'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 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?

I 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 got a Gridcolumn in a Datagrid (Spark). The Column's dataprovider is a Number value that gets updated via Binding.Now, without an item renderer the cell displays the correct values.If I set an item renderer, I can't access the values in this renderer.My renderer looks like this, so nothing really do here (for now) but to trace the value, but the value is always NaN.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:GridItemRenderer xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" width="100%" height="100%" >[code].......
without the renderer, the column displays the correct values, so apparently the DefaultGridItemRenderer works fine.As requested, here is my Datagrid;
<s:DataGrid id="dataGrid" dataProvider="{_listItems}">
<s:columns>
<s:ArrayList>[code]..........
_listItems is an ArrayList with instances of a model class, which has (amongst others) a property called change of type Number.

I have flat data in my app which I will need to group, summarize, and count as I normally would with a sql query. For this project though, it must be done in the flex app. I need to figure out how to group my data by day or month using a datatime field in my Arraycollection, then appropriately count or summarize data in other fields. I've used Groupingcollections before, but only when binding to hierarchical controls (like AdvancedDataGrid and Tree), but I need a resulting ArrayCollection with the grouped and summarized data. Basically, I'm trying to access my AC like a sql table (GROUP BY MONTH(datetime), COUNT, COUNT(DISTINCT(), etc.) and I'm unsure how to do it.

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.

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 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?

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?

XML 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).

I am using an HTTPService in my Flex application. I want to load several xml files, each about 1mb in size. Sometimes I need to stop loading previous xml file and start loading a new one. If I use HTTPService.cancel(); or HTTPService.disconnect() , it increase the time to get the answer from the server.Is there a quick way to stop the previous loading in HTTPService and start new one?

I am trying to communicate using this protocol. It works fine except when the socket has a lot of data to return. Right now I am checking if a packet ends with to determine if I have received all the packages. Problem is that sometimes a package can end with as a line break even if it is not the last package, so I can not use that.
I am using a command queue, because I want to wait for a complete response before sending the next command.
The code with unnecessary stuff removed:
class CustomSocket extends Socket
{
private var _response:String;
private var _commandQueue:Array;
[Code]....
The problem is in the function readResponse. I've googled a lot without finding anything of interest.
Is there a way to know the total amount of bytes/packets a socket will return? Or a way to detect EOF or that a package is the last?
