WSDL defines a number of datatypes supported by web service . Is there a documentation stating the various equivalents of those datatypes on flex side. In general for any language that we use to consume web service, how do we get to know the equivalent datatypes of the wsdl types.
One of the web service that I am consuming is returning base64Binary (an image binary data) , What is the equivalent datatype of this on flex ?
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)
I want to have a web service that returns a list of clients.
In the Java code, I have a base class for a Client, and 2 extending classes:
public class Client {
public String getName() {
return this.name;
[Code] .....
i am trying to add a web service in flex 4. This web service is deployed in share point 2010 in the intranet . I am able to see this wsdl file through browser but trying to introspect the service is giving an authentication error. I am getting the following error :-
There was an error during service introspection.
WSDLException: faultCode=OTHER_ERROR: Unable to resolve imported document at 'http://sql2008:47672/_vti_bin/StoryboardingDatabaseConnect.asmx?WSDL'.: java.io.IOException: Authentication failure
Consider the following function:
Code:
public function foo(bar1:int, bar2:uint, bar3:String, bar4:Boolean):void{}
What I want is to have the different types of data represented by custom named types which are essentially representing the original data types. I other word, I would like to proxy the data types and have a valid function as following:
Code:
public function foo(bar1:PAR_Bar1, bar2:PAR_Bar2, bar3:PAR_Bar3, bar4:PAR_Bar4):void{}
so PAR_Bar1 would proxy the `int` data type, PAR_Bar2 would proxy the `uint` data type, so on and so forth.
The reason I need this is because I'm using a debugger with a GUI that can run methods and allows changing function parameter values in real-time, the issue is that the debugger can't tell me what parameter I'm changing, it only displays the data type of a parameter. So if I need to change 10 different parameters all of type int, the debuggers display all of them as int and not by their names.
I think that if I use proxy types I can easily differentiate between parameters.
So, my question: Is it possible to proxy data types? I mean map specific data types to custom data types that would represent the base data types?

View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know of any really easy and effective ways to move complex data types from PHP into FLASH and vice-versa? A while back I made an attempt to recreate PHP' serialize() function in actionscript but it was really difficult and performance was poor.
I'm able to do it fairly easily for one dimensional arrays indexed by numbers, but when I have to pass either an object (or several objects) or when i have to pass a nested array of arbitrary complexity (such as a data tree) then I get bogged down.
I have a little experience dealing with XML in flash (working with the tree component) but it seems like so much effort when i am dealing with a new data type.
Does anyone know of any pre-packaged components or code (in actionscript and complimentary part in php) that might be useful?

Flex Builder 3 provides support to generate actionscipt from WSDL via the GUI ( Data->Import Web Service (WSDL) ) - but this sort of method requires that you check in the generated source. This is not desirable to us (we understand both sides of the 'should generated source be checked in' and we have decided that they should not) so we would like a method to generate the actionscript classes from an ant task. In this case, the WSDL would live in the file system.

View 1 RepliesI have a flex app that loads a WSDL at runtime and shares that across several different web services I have defined. Unfortunately each call to loadWSDL() makes a network request for it, and while it's not really a problem due to caching it's still annoying and wasteful to have all those requests generated. Is there a simpler way to solve this problem and only make one network request?[code]

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to consume a .Net web service of mine in a Flex Builder 3 project. The function's signature in the service is:

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.

Im trying to wrap my head around data types and phrasing them from xml. From what I gather variables that come in from XML are always treated as a string - even if you declare them as something else before hand? Im not seeing that myself as everything else other then the Boolean is behaving as expected. For example in the code below, if I declare FGFILLCOLOR as anything other then an int, or Number, I get an unrelated type error. So why just Boolean and how can I convert them so they behave properly without declaring all of them as a String? Though I've seen a few related solutions posted around but I wan't able to sort them out.

I am developing a Flex application on top of Mate framework. In this application, I am using a webservice to retrieve data.As this webservice as not a fix location URL (depending on where customers installed it), I define this URL in a config file.When the Flex application starts, it first reads this config file, then I would like to use the value I found to initialize the webservice.But currently, I have no idea how to this.

I hope this problem would not waste your time. I use Adobe Coldfusion 9 to create CFC to to interact with database. Generally, CFC can be generate WSDL by itself. for example:[URL]..
The WSDL was generated well. But the problem has been found when I tried to use Adobe Flash Builder 4's Data service to generate service class to connect ColdFusion's WSDL.
If you tried to invoked the remote function that return primitive data type as int or String, it works correctly.

In my code there's a function that shows an image on the screen (or loads the image and shows a progress bar). This function is called by clicking on a thumbnail, and it uses a parameter [e.target.name] refering to the property "name" of the thumbnail clicked, which is an integer (or I believe so). The thumbnails are placed inside the cointaner_mc MovieClip.
Code:
container_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb);
function clickThumb(e:MouseEvent):void{
if (my_full_images[e.target.name] == undefined){[code]...
but I want to call this function by clicking on a button, which would need to pass another type of parameter, in this case, a variable which refers to the number of the image displayed on the screen plus one.I tried this:
Code:
clickThumb(image_num + 1);
But it doesn't work, I get the following error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type flash.events:MouseEvent.
How could I call the function clickThumb and make it use "image_num + 1" instead of "e.target.name" ?
Could I dispatch the event (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickThumb), passing this value "image_num + 1" ?
Primitive Data Types (Boolean, int, Null, Number, String, uint, and void) are treated as "values" rather than Objects, so when you pass one of them into a function, instead of passing a reference, it basically clones the information, and creates a new instance. It does the same thing when when you use "primitive1 = primitive2", and instead of passing on a reference, clones it.I thought there might be a slim possibility Flash allows me to reference primitives if I treat them as objects instead of (in this case) ints.
Code:
var num1:int = 5;
var num2:Object;

The requirement is to get the method named getIncidentList() from web service using Soap and wsdl using Flex or Actionscript.

Right now a lot of my applications use GWT-RPC for retrieving POJO's from a GWT RemoteService which in turn calls a Web Service (SOAP) to get the data. I am evaluating Flex and didn't really see anything truly analogous to this simple architecture.

View 1 RepliesI'm making an Air app that involves users being able to load in a bunch of pics (of their choice), label them and move them around to place them in some sort of order. No problems there.
Crucially, I need them to be able to save the results for later use as it's an educational resource for teachers who might wish to prepare the resource at home or in their office for use in the classroom. Consequently, portability is crucial and I would like to simplify the process as much as possible.
As it stands, I could easily save all the necessary data as jpg's (maybe even one big jpg for the images) and the data as xml. However, having to move various files is guaranteed to confuse a lot of my users and so I'd like to create one file, with a bespoke file extension that they can move easily and then just double click to open the app, much as you would a Word document, for example.
Which leads me to the 'how'. I bit of research seems to indicate (although I may be wide of the mark here) that the ByteArray class may be of use here. Does this seem reasonable? All I want is to store everything in one file, basically.
When declaring a variable to have an open datatype, is there any difference, especially a performance difference, between typing a variable as a "wildcard" (I'm not sure of the official name for this) and typing a variable as an Object?

var myVar:Object;
I'm working on a function that takes the stage mouse coordinates in Flash AS3 and returns tile in a hex-grid below the cursor. I want the function to return NaN or undefined if the cursor is not on a tile and if it is, the integer index of that tile in an object array.
public function getCursorTile(mX:Number,mY:Number):uint
{
var tileIndex:uint = new uint(NaN);
[Code].....
I've been using uint for most integer variables, perhaps this data type doesn't support NaN or undefined? This code traces 0 after tileIndex is defined. I'm using hitTest because the hexgrid isn't square and is randomly generated. Tile 0 is the first tile and returning 0 when the cursor is off the hex-map is going to cause problems.
