RE: [flexcoders] Re: Web Service arguments in AS - how do you create repeated children?

[Franck de Bruijn]

Hi Ben,   I think I am starting to understand what you mean. I don’t have the environment up-and-running to really test ...   In my case, the XML will probably be something like: <customer>   <addresses>      <street>1</street>      ...   </addresses>   <addresses>      <street>2</street>      ...   </addresses> </customer>   I’m sure that Flex is doing the right thing there, since I am basing some of my webservices on this kind of structures and all is working fine.   In your case you have a list of simple strings/numbers, while my list is of objects (having their own attributes) ...   Would it be acceptable for you if your XML would look like this?   <SelectedPlans>   <PlanNumber>     <Value>12345</Value>   </PlanNumber>   <PlanNumber>     <Value>56789</Value>   </PlanNumber> </SelectedPlans> Then, you could make a PlanNumber action script object with a property Value in it. The SelectedPlans object would have an array having PlanNumber objects ...   Cheers, Franck   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of ben.clinkinbeard Sent: Monday, August 07, 2006 8:30 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Web Service arguments in AS - how do you create repeated children?   Hi Franck, Thanks for the response. I am still having the same problem though, which is that I end up with a generic 'item' tag or property being created somewhere along the way. I am beginning to think that this structure cannot be created in AS as it seems like I would need an object with 2 properties named PlanNumber. I tried using an object with a PlanNumber property of type Array, and then stuffing the values into that, but that turns into <SelectedPlans xmlns=""> <item xmlns="">78167</item> <item xmlns="">78173</item> </SelectedPlans> Is there a way to create a default property of an object or something? Does valueOf() still exist?
