Well I figured it out.
You need to create custom classes for all the data objects you want to send
back to your SOAP service.
------ snip 8< ------
//Relevant actionscript for sending the SOAP call.
var testobj0:ContentMetaItem = new
ContentMetaItem("testcid0","testtitle0","description0");
var testobj1:ContentMetaItem = new
ContentMetaItem("testcid1","testtitle1","description1");
var testarray:Array = new Array(testobj0,testobj1);
var resultobj = soapservice.getContentMeta (testarray);
//ContentMetaItem.as class file
class ContentMetaItem
{
// variable declarations
var cid:String;
var mid:String;
var title:String;
var description:String;
// constructor
public function ContentMetaItem (cid:String, mid:String title:String,
description:String){
this.cid = cid;
this.mid = mid;
this.title = title;
this.description = description;
}
}
//Actual SOAP request from flash to the webserver
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
<SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:ns1="urn:LearnTools">
<ns1:getContentMeta
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";>
<ContentList xsi:type="soapenc:Array"
soapenc:arrayType="ns1:ContentMetaItem[2]"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";>
<item xsi:type="ns1:ContentMetaItem">
<mid xsi:type="xsd:string">testtitle0</mid>
<cid xsi:type="xsd:string">testcid0</cid>
<name />
<description />
</item>
<item xsi:type="ns1:ContentMetaItem">
<mid xsi:type="xsd:string">testtitle1</mid>
<cid xsi:type="xsd:string">testcid1</cid>
<name />
<description />
</item>
</ContentList>
</ns1:getContentMeta>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

You also need a correctly formtted WSDL file so flash knows how to serialize
the data correctly.
This all seems sort of obvious now...I suppose it would in hindsight.
As per my other post on Flash and SOAP Ill eventually put this stuff on teh web
for any one else struggling with flash and SOAP.
