While your code is technically correct (thus it works), since you are changing
a [Bindable] property your compiled code will dispatch tempArray.length change
events as you iterate through the tempArray.
You can simply assign the event.result value to arrayDP.
[Bindable]
public var arrayDP:Array;
private function getDataListener(event:ResultEvent):void{
arrayDP=event.result as Array;
}
or alternatively:
[Bindable(event="DPChange")]
public var arrayDP:Array;
private function getDataListener(event:ResultEvent):void{
var tempArray:Array = event.result as Array;
for (var i:int = 0; i < tempArray.length - 1; i++) {
arrayDP.push( {name:tempArray[i].name,id:tempArray[i].task_id});
}
dispatchEvent(new Event("DPChange"));
}
Use the [Bindable(event="DPChange")] metadata tag, where you are telling the
compiler that you'll be dispatching the change event, and dispatch it once
you've iterated through the result array.
This might be helpful if you want to do client side processing on the data
before displaying it.
