Well, I guess it depends on what you call a large project ;-) I do know that without a proper framework (MVC at a mimimum, doesn't have to be ARP etc..) things get messy, fast.. And I disagree that you have to be an advanced coder to learn and understand them and afterall, this is FlashCoders, not FlashNewbies. That aside, I didn't say that if you want to use WebServices through ActionScript that you need some kind of framework. --> Small Projects: WebService panel = handy --> Larger Projects: WebServices through code > > For example, off the top of my head, say with your SOAP webservice, you > are sending an array of fruit objects: > > import mx.services.* > import mx.util.Delegate > > var myWS:WebService = new WebService("http://myWebService.asmx?WSDL"); > myWS.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, callMyWSmethod) > > function callMyWSmethod() > { > var myGetResult:Object = new Object(); > myGetResult = myWS.getMyData(); > myGetResult = Delegate.create(this, myGetResultMethod) > } > > function myGetResultMethod(result:Object) > { > trace(result.fruit[7].name) //traces "apple" > trace(result.fruit[7].quantity) //traces "45" > } > import mx.services.*; import mx.util.Delegate; function myWSLoadHandler() { // call to webservice method returns a PendingCall var myData_pc:PendingCall = myWS.getMyData(); myData_pc.onResult = Delegate.create(this, myDataResultHandler); } function myDataResultHandler(result:Object) { trace(result.fruit[7].name); trace(result.fruit[7].quantity); } var myWS:WebService = new WebService("http://myWebService.asmx?WSDL"); myWS.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, myWSLoadHandler); _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
