Tim, Maybe I'm missing something here, but to my understanding when the result event of your HTTP service fires, your call IS complete. You should have access to the json string that was pulled back from the service. Is there something else you need that the json string doesn't' supply?

I started learning FlashBuilder/Flex by diving in and writing an AIR application against SQLite with asynchronous connections and Responder objects. The responder's resultsHandler is passed a flash.data.SQLResult object that exposes a "complete" status property. Lovely. Now I am trying to rewrite that AIR application as a browser-deployed Flex app using an HTTPService against a RESTful webservice that returns JSON data. The webservice is working, and the Flex HTTPService is pulling the JSON string down, but there doesn't seem to be anything analogous to the "complete" property that was available with the asynch data connection in the AIR app. Not so lovely. The result-handler specified in the HTTPService responder has two parameters, the ResultEvent and the AsyncToken. The ResultEvent exposes a statusCode property. The result-handler can be called more than once. The ResultEvent.statusCode = 200 each time the handler is called. How do you know when the remote data are "complete"? I will keep googling as I'm sure this question must be commonplace, but so far I haven't found the answer. Thanks for the help.
