I have some problem with calling web service from flex. I have service with name UserService with one method string GetData(int i). I want to call this method from flex and get data. My code is here:
protected function application1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
uService = new UserService();
uService.addEventListener("hello", echoResultHandler);
uService.GetData(1);
I have a Java server application with a ton of different entities. So far, each entity top level entity has its own CRUD service. By top level, I mean the root of a tree of entities that can stand alone.
Now I am getting into the heart of my Flex client and find I am needing/writing many different queries. But where best to put these queries?
Say for example, I have a query to find all "foos" based on their associate with a certain "bar". Currently that query is on the "foo" service (findAllByBar), but I am finding that it would be very convenient to have it (also?) in the "bar" service (findFoos). On the other hand, I could also create a query service and lump all the queries in there.
I want to be able to populate the tool tip array for a HSlider via a web service.Below is my code and all I'm doing here is populating anotherArray in the init() function from the arrayValues array just to test that much.However when I launch the application anotherArray contains only "null" and not the rest of the data.
My 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.
I want to call web service which has basic authentication.once url get authenticated then want to call particular service example xyz() which takes 2 parameter and return a flag .
Is it possible to call a web service from within Flash (using AS3)? Or is the best idea to put the flash movieclip in a Flex container and use the Flex Libraries?
To be clear, when I say within Flash, I mean within the Flash CS4, AS3 programming environment.
I'm trying to find the IP address of a client when they make a particular LCDS service call. Understanding all the issues of getting a "real" IP address and privacy concerns and so on, it is possible to find the client's IP address?
I'm using Flash Builder 4 Beta 2. I have it connecting to a PHP service. The way I set this up was using the wizard, so I didn't actually write the code to connect to it.[code]...
One of the functions that I'm calling fetches users from a MySQL database. There are about 30,000 users right now. The service seems to timeout when fetching more than around 22,000 rows, I get the "Channel Disconnected before an acknowledgement was received" error. If I call the PHP script from a browser, it fetches them all with no problems at all, however. I have tried increasing the timeout in the PHP script (which didn't work), but obviously this isn't the problem since the browser is able to pull them up with no problems.
I am trying to learn the new services method in flex 4. but i cant get it work. A test oparation near the service in flash builder 4 works. But when i run the code i get NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed.
CODE: PHP
<?php class AuthService { public function login($username, $password) {[code].......
I have a flex client connecting to a web service that needs an authentication token added as a header, named "Identity". An example of the expected message is[code]...
I 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)
Flash is calling a web-service on frame 1. It works fine within Flash IDE, but not otherwise..... such as running the .swf locally or on a server. I receive the error about flash player stopping a potentially unsafe operation. I've tried Security.allowDomain, Security.allowInsecureDomain, as well as changing some parameters in the html object embed code. (None of which worked obviously)
With further research, it seems like I'm going to need loadPolicyFile(); however, would someone tell me if I'm heading down the right path or just wasting even more time trying to solve this?
Below is a link to an example web service that I'm hoping you guys can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I have this dictionary app that works great when I'm in flash and preview it, but when I publish it and view it on the web, it simply doesn't work. I'm not sure what I'm missing. The link below has links to the project in CS5 and CS4.
I'm making a call to an API function on a server through my swf file. The service is supposed to return an XML.
In Firefox, this works perfectly fine, when I print it out, I get the XML string.
But in IE or in Chrome, I get nothing back. Well, when I print out what comes back it prints out as UNKNOWN. Unfortunately I don't have access to the api so I don't know if that's actually a string that is sent back, or if that is something that flash is printing out.
Has anyone had problems with calling services from different browsers not working?
I can't really provide the code as it's proprietary... But, more info, the urlRequest is also sending header requests along with it.
I wrote an app using adobe flash builder that makes an http data service call to a website.
When I build and launch the app it loads in my browser (the address in the broswer is C:Userspath omyapp.html) and works perfectly. However, when I upload the app to my website or even launch it from outside the project build directory, the HTTP service call fails with the popup
Of course I googled this error and realized it may have something to do with a 'crossdomain.xml' in my web root directory. I tried this and it continued to fail. Below was my crossite domain file
I've been searching for the last couple days but can't seem to find a basic example of what I'm looking for. I'm developing a Flex 4.5 app and in it I have a viewstack of 2 components that use some of the same services. Currently the only way I can get the app to correctly use the web services is by defining 2 different web services that use the same PHP web service file. For example: I have an app, and within it I have a viewstack with tab navigation of 2 components: #1) retrieve a list of all Salary Employees, and #2) retrieve a list of all Contractors. Currently to get it working I am defining a UsersTableEmployees webservice within component #1 and a UsersTableContractors webservice within component #2, but they both point to the same PHP class, and only differ in the arugment value I pass to them. Ie, getUsers("employee") and getUsers ("contractors"). Of course this is not best practice.
Searching StackOverflow and Google gives me many results about ColdFusion and MVC (example What's the best way to share data between components in Flex?), but I'm still confused. Can anyone here point me to a basic example (even sample MVC) and source code of an app that uses Zend AMF and allows different components to call common web services?
I am developing an application with multiple windows, all using their own web services.Is it bad practice to use more than one web service per application? If so, what are the disadvantages?
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.
Although iPhone support JSON natively, AMF is a binary protocol and it supposes to use much less bandwidth. Do you think using AMF is a good idea?Just found this AMF library in cocoa (Objective-C):Here's the famous benchmark that shows AMF is smaller and faster than JSON + gzip in Flex:
Today I tried to connect to other domain.I changed url of endpoint, but it looks like flex just ignores my changes.I am sure that an old url doesn't exist in any file in src directory,I even renamed services-config.xml to services-config2.xml, cleaned and rebuilded project many times, even made a release build, but it still connects to the same domain.I have tested flex application in localhost and in the same domain, that has AMF services, but it works in the same way.My services-config.xml is:
We are planning to use flex and Java Web Services, what is the best practice to consume web service from flex is it better to directly call the web service from Action scripts or to use remoting where java client will call the web services and later flex using remoting will the java client?
I have written a flash application and was unsuccessful in consuming the web service from Amazon. The error that I got was "SOAP Response Version Mismatch" while making a call to:
URL: http:url].....
However, we were able to call the following successfully.
What would be the best way to secure .net web services used by a flex application (both desktop and browser) that requires login? I thought about requesting the user and password in every method of the web service, and having them stored as variables in the flex app, but I don't feel like this is the most elegant way.
from flex, when calling a .net web method that returns a custom class, I always recieve an ObjectProxy, even if I have the same class created on flex. How do I manage this ObjectProxy as the class I have?
