[flexcoders] Complex data without Flash Remoting

[Jonathan Miranda]

So a client is using BlueDragon and up to this point it’s been simple data so it was relatively easy – I was using HTTPServices that added data to the url and read it in as such (url="" returning just basic XML. Now the need for complex data sent is here and I’m a bit stumped on the way to handle this. If I used the following: <mx:HTTPService id="myService"  url="" result="returnData()"> <mx:request xmlns=""> <data>{theData}</data> </mx:request> </mx:HTTPService>   How would it come to the test.cfm file or is this even possible without a Flash Remoting gateway? For those that don’t know, Blue Dragon is a .NET version of ColdFusion. I can run all the basic CFML but there’s no flash remoting gateway. What are my options? I’ve seen the macromedia article on adding flash remoting to .Net (http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flashremoting/articles/intro_flremoting_net_03.html) and the basic model for coldfusion cfcs and remoteobjects (http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=e&entry=1786 although is this still the same for Flex2?) – but as I’m not the infrastructure man for the server this is going to be a huge hassle to add this and I’m wondering my other options before I go knocking on the IT guy’s door. Also on a semi-different side note, is there a URLEncode function in AS3 that will take a string and return a url formatted string? _________________________________________ Jonathan Miranda Flexible Master of the Web "In the game of chess, it's important to never let your opponent see your pieces."   -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
