Re: [flexcoders] Variable Type for Web Service Result
Thanks, that worked perfectly and I learned a lot =)
cheers, ethan
Ethan,
Yup, that was it. This works (although it's certainly not the only
way to
do it)...

Ethan,
I don't think it's your typing, I think it's your timing. Looks like
you're
flipping your postTyper() when the combobox is changed, but that's
not
firing a new send() like the original blogger example did. Try
changing
your code so that changing the combobox triggers the send() and
the send
result= handler triggers the postTyper(). That way you'll have the
correct data in lastResult when you change your blogResult
variable. That
change should then be noticed by the bindings.

Greetings -
Expanding on the Connecting to Web Services tutorial, I added a
combo box for switching between methods of the API to the Adobe
blog
aggregator, ie from getMostPopularPosts to search.
As both methods return the same columns, the data grid
displaying the
result can stay the same, other than needing a different value for
data provider, ie:
myWebService.getMostPopularPosts.lastResult
vs
myWebService.search.lastResult
I was hoping therefore to bind the dataGrid dataProvider value to a
variable which I'd set when users change the value of the comboBox
(which selects which method to use). However I think I'm typing the
variable which stores the value of the service result wrong, as
I get
null whenever I try and set the value (blogResult), show below:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
