What are you using on your backend? .NET? ColdFusion? If .NET, yes, you can easily send objects back and forth. It serializes as SOAP formatted XML inbetween, but you'll never notice. You can read an object with arrays, set properties, and send it back. I can't send you our SOAP message because it might be considered propriety bank information (even though it's not really), but there are some tutorials on the web>
http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/webServiceConnector/ Here is the WSDL is uses: http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/BabelFishService.wsdl Here is some code I use to test loading in an object from a wsdl SOAP object from .NET import mx.services.*; function startmyws():Void{ ws = new WebService("http://blahblahurl/theService.asmx?WSDL";); ws.onLoad = trace("The webservice loaded fine."); methodResultObj = ws.GetProject(0); methodResultObj.onResult = showResult; methodResultObj.onFault = function(fault) { trace("!! Flash Web Services Component Error. \n Fault Code: "+fault.faultcode + ", Fault: " + fault.faultstring); } } function showResult(projObj:Object){ //test object value: theVar = projObj.Content.Topics[0].TextAreas[0].Content trace(theVar) } startmyws(); Don't bother with parsing through XML if you are using .NET.
