I am a relative newbie in the Flex and development world, trying to extend my
design
skills. So please forgive any foolish errors. Presently I am attempting to
communicate with
the photoshelter api via httpservice, and need help. I can successfully log-in
and get
authorisation - but cannot work out how to actually access albums and galleries
via their
api xml syntax. (...although it looks as though it should be
straightforward...) I have tried
adapting code I found on flexexamples - dynamically-loading-xml-files-using-the-
httpservice-tag:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.rpc.http.HTTPService;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.controls.Alert;
private var alert:Alert;
public function
setRemoteCredentials(remoteUsername:String="xxxx",remotePassword:String="xxxxx",
charset:String = null):void
{
httpService.url="https://www.photoshelter.com/bsapi/1.1/auth";;
httpService.send(setRemoteCredentials);
}
private function loadGallery(src:String):void {
httpService.url =
"https://www.photoshelter.com/bsapi/1.1/alb-qry";;
httpService.send();
}
private function httpService_fault(evt:FaultEvent):void
{
var title:String = evt.type + " (" +
evt.fault.faultCode + ")";
var text:String = evt.fault.faultString;
alert = Alert.show(text, title);
xmlListColl.removeAll();
}
private function
httpService_result(evt:ResultEvent):void {
var xmlList:XMLList = XML(evt.result).alb;
xmlListColl = new XMLListCollection(xmlList);
trace("Done!");
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:XMLListCollection id="xmlListColl" />
<mx:HTTPService id="httpService"
resultFormat="e4x"
showBusyCursor="true"
fault="httpService_fault(event);"
result="httpService_result(event)" />
<mx:ApplicationControlBar dock="true">
<mx:Button label="Data" click="setRemoteCredentials()"/>
<mx:Button label="Travel"
click="loadGallery('Travel');" />
<mx:Button label="Landscapes"
click="loadGallery('Landscapes UK');" />
<mx:Button label="gallery 404"
click="loadGallery('gallery404.xml');" />
</mx:ApplicationControlBar>
<mx:TileList id="tileList"
dataProvider="{xmlListColl}"
itemRenderer="TileListItemRenderer"
columnCount="3"
columnWidth="150"
rowCount="2"
rowHeight="100" />
</mx:Application>
------------------
//TileListItemRenderer//
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";>
<mx:Image source="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
horizontalCenter="0"
verticalCenter="0" />
</mx:Canvas>
I am unsure what I should put as the source - and have tried [EMAIL PROTECTED]
as well as [EMAIL PROTECTED] But I am not sure that I am querying the api
correctly... Whatever
I am doing wrong, it also prevents the gallery 404 error message appearing
anymore...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
