For example: <mx:operation name="service" resultFormat="object" result="serviceResult(event)"/> Adrian Wally Kolcz wrote: I am having fits trying to figure out how to use the information coming back from a webservice. I created a web service call in my code: <mx:WebService id="storyGateway" wsdl="http:/ <http://> /www2.med.umich.edu/prmc/media/newsroom/stories.cfc?wsdl" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.message,'Story Gateway Error')"> <mx:operation name="listBySubject" result="buildBookHandler(event)" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.message,'Story Gateway Error')" /> </mx:WebService> It returns the data as requested, I can see it in my debugging, but I cannot figure out how to set it to a variable and then call the various elemenets (linkText, story, photo, defaultLogo) I tried to set it to a variable as an ArrayCollection: [Bindable] public var storyFeed:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); public function buildBookHandler(e:ResultEvent):void { storyFeed = e.result as ArrayCollection; for (var i:uint = 0; i < e.result.data.length; i++){ ... //Story Area var storyArea:TextArea = new TextArea(); storyArea.text = storyFeed.getItemAt(i).story; storyArea.wordWrap = true; storyArea.height = 550; storyArea.width = 400; storyArea.editable = false; magPage.addChild(storyArea); storyArea.x = 0; storyArea.y = 25; ... } rssMag.flipOnClick = true; } But still getting errors.. TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference. at RSSMagazine/buildBookHandler()[D:\wkolcz\My Documents\Flex Builder 3\RSSMagazine\src\RSSMagazine.mxml:36] Line 36 is: storyArea.text = storyFeed.getItemAt(i).story; Help!
