TC, I pulled your code into Flex Builder and did not receive your error on launch. However, I noticed a couple things you may want to work through:
1. First, the URL that you have specified as the wsdl attribute for mx:WebService looks very suspicious. When you specify a wsdl that you have network access to, you should be able to open it in a browser and view the information on the webservice you're trying to access. For instance, here is the wsdl for an Adobe webservice: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mxna/webservices/mxna2.cfc?wsdl 2. In addition, you need to be using the .send() method for the operation. So where you have the click="" defined for the button, it should be in the format of mmWebService.getVmdbHrrsJoin.send() http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/00000135.html 3. Make sure that you have a crossdomain.xml file in your webroot if the swf is not hosted at the quest3 domain...otherwise you'll never get to the webservice. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/ww\ help.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001153.html 4. Also, I'm no wsdl expert, but from the looks of it, the webservice operation you're trying to access does not take any input parameters. Anyway, hope that helps. -Jun --- In [email protected], "tddclare" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I haven't worked with webservices much, but am needing to test out a > service that was produced by a software package my company is > evaluating.
