[flexcoders] Re: Creating RemoteObject in ActionScript as dataProvider for ComboBox

[brad.bueche]

Paul,

Thanks for your answer.  You are losing me though at.

ro.getProjectData....

I understand the ...addEventListener("result",getProjectDataResult);

Here is my progress so far, based on your input, in moving my mxml RemoteObject:

<!--  <mx:RemoteObject id="conn" destination="ColdFusion"
                 source="cfching.components.comboBox"
                result="cbx.dataProvider = event.result;">
        </mx:RemoteObject>-->

into actionscript:

public var connObject:RemoteObject;
         
     public function createRemoteObject():void{
             connObject = new RemoteObject();
             connObject.destination = "ColdFusion";
             connObject.source = "cfching.components.comboBox";
             connObject.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,getQueryResult); 

I don't understand this line of yours either:

ro.getProjectData(this.view.project);

I'm thinking I can just put a result into my ComboBox's dataprovider in my 
getQueryResult() -- which I have not written yet -- function. So I'm not sure 
what the ro.getProjectData(this.view.project); would do.

thanks for your time!
