Hi Tim,
Glad you figured it out. There's one minor change I would recommend:
when you call any of the findXXXX methods, you're always getting an
object (or a collection) back. We tried to simplify the programming
model, however the async nature of Flex's client/server integration is
always there. So even though you get back an object out of the find
calls, initially that object does not have the data. When the client
receives the data from the server, the same instance WebORB returns to
you is updated with the data. As a result, it is recommended to make
sure you actually got the data before you make any changes. Here's how
you can do it:
_master = ActiveRecords.Test.findByIdAndName('6','tessa');
_master.addEventListener( "loaded", gotTest );
public function gotTest( evt:DynamicLoadEvent ):void
{
var testObj:Test = (evt.data as ArrayCollection)[0] as Test;
testObj.Email = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
testObj.Name = "tessa";
}
Cheers,
Mark
