RE: [flexcoders] Flex2B3: Problem returning Object[] from a RemoteObject call

[Peter Farland]

Aejaz,   This is expected.   You can't assign the result of a remote object call immediately to a value. The Flash Player needs to make calls asynchronously so that the movie does not stall while waiting for a response from the network. Instead you're returned a token to help you track results from asynchronous invocations. This is called the Asynchronous Completion Token (ACT) pattern. You need to have a result handler registered for your RemoteObject (or individual operation, or individual invocation on the token itself). When the result event is raised, your handler will get a ResultEvent which will have the Array result (as well as access to the ACT token.   Pete From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of aejaz_98 Sent: Sunday, June 11, 2006 6:00 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex2B3: Problem returning Object[] from a RemoteObject call Hi, I am calling a java method on server side which returns an array of type Object[]. On the client side I do the following, var arr:Array = remoteObject.call(); Doing this gives me an exception which says, TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert mx.rpc::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to Array. After changing the type of arr to AsyncToken ,I do see that there is a result field in the AsyncToken object which was returned but that too is null. What is the significance of the AsyncToken object here ? According to the Flex Developer's guide(page 1154), I would have got an Array as the result of the call. Please let me know what am I doing wrong.
