Hey Paul.
The first thing you need to do is set up the Flex object to handle the web
service, it might look something like this:
<mx:WebService id="WeatherService"
wsdl="http:/example.com/ws/WeatherService?wsdl" useProxy="false" />
Then you simply would call methods on the web service in AS. Inside a
method (say a click handler for a button) you might have something that
looks like:
WeatherService.getWeather(25414);
There are several ways you can handle the results of this, you can:
1. using Flex bindings: <mx:Text text="{
WeatherService.getWeather.lastResult.someInfo"} />
2. You can use <mx:operation> inside of the <mx:webService> tag to
specify which methods to call when results are returned.
<mx:WebService id="WeatherService"
wsdl="http:/example.com/ws/WeatherService?wsdl" useProxy="false" >
<mx:operation name="getWeather" result="weatherHandler(event)" />
</mx:webService>
In the last example, when the method getWeather() of the weatherService is
called, and data is returned, the method weatherHandler() is called. The
argument passed to weatherHandler is of type event, the data you would want
would be in event.result, for example:
private function weatherHandler(event:Event):void{
var the result = event.result;
}
Hope this helps.
