I like mxml for a lot of things, but invoking data service calls is not
one of them. One big problem I have is that declarative binding is hard
to debug. My pattern is this:
var wsOperation:Operation = ws.getList;
wsOperation.resultFormat = "e4x";
var atCall:AsyncToken;
var sQ2:String = dept.selectedItem.data; // trace this value to be sure
it is good
var sQ5:String = dept2.selectedItem.data; // trace this value to be sure
it is good
var oRequest:Object = {q2 sQ2, q5: sQ5 };
atCall = wsOperation.send(oRequest);
atCall.callId = sCallId;
...
Are you trying to format the SOAP request yourself? Just pass the
correctly typed vars in the operation arguments.
Also, the component namespace, xmlns in the mxml tags should not have
anything to do with a WebService call.

Subject: [flexcoders] Passing values using mx:WebService
Hiya flexcoders
Trying to pass values to a SOAP request. Having some fun :-)
Working with <mx:WebService> - got it working by placing the SOAP
request inside of the <mx:request> tag and adding the namespace in
mx:application-
xmlns:typ="http://ruleburst.com/ruleserver/9.1/rulebase/types
<http://ruleburst.com/ruleserver/9.1/rulebase/types> "
(code @ EOM )
However when I try to dynamically pass selectedItem to the
<mx:request> they don not come through. I'm aware of adding values to
the <mx:request> ie.
<mx:operation name="getList">
<mx:request>
<q2>{dept.selectedItem.data}</q2>
<q5>{dept2.selectedItem.data}</q5>
</mx:request>
</mx:operation>
but keep getting an end of file error.
Question is how do I turn the SOAP request into and <mx:request>
request?
Thanks in advance
