How can plain old web services, which are totally generic, be adequate but not recordsets? [Pete] Sorry, I should have explained further. Flex 2 components use mx.collections.ICollectionView to manage data that may have also come from a remote location (implying that users might have to consider paging concerns when all of the data is not present on the client). If mx.remoting.RecordSet is ported to AS3 and made to extend something like mx.collections.ListCollectionView things would start to look better for legacy data interacting with new components. I think this is a reasonable request for legacy application support - I logged an enhancement request as bug #154595. Not that this is a consolation to your situation, but note that we have new, more advanced and very flexible frameworks for managing remote data in Flex Enterprise Services 2 - keep an eye out for a Beta of this soon. > Also, how were you constructing these on the server? > CF Query objects? Brians story is different from mine which I am sure is different for php users. But I construct all of my recordsets with JDBC resultsets. Cached rowsets to be exact. I suck lots of complex queries right out of the database and send them to flash. The data never becomes serialized POJOs. [Pete] Very cool. The format of a JDBC resultset (well, cached rowset as you accurately state), and a CF Query were the same over the wire according to Flash / Flex. The structure is pretty simple. Did you make use of paging by any chance? ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).
