Thanks Ben,
I tried that. It still does not work ..:-(. I got rid of everything
which could cause errors. ...
Here's the code. I reckon this is as basic as it gets ...
public function onMyResult(event:ResultEvent):void
{
// this works fine
var myObject:Object =
Object(event.result);
// this causes an error
(Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
webserviceClasses.Employee.)
var myEmployee:Employee
= Employee(event.result);
// does not work
trace
(myEmployee.employeeName);
// does work
trace
(myObject.employeeName);
}
]]>
/// the web service object
</mx:Script>
<mx:WebService showBusyCursor="true"
wsdl="http://localhost/ComplexDataTypeService/Service1.asmx?WSDL";
id="myWebservice" makeObjectsBindable="false">
<mx:operation name="getDetails" result="{
onMyResult (event)}" resultFormat="object"/>
</mx:WebService>
// the Employee object:
public class Employee (AS)
{
public var employeeName:String;
public var employeeID:int;
}
(c#)
public class Employee
{
public string employeeName;
public int employeeID;
}
Any ideas?
Robin

Hi Robin,
I have good news :), both of these issues should go away by setting a
single attribute on your WebService object. Try setting
makeObjectsBindable = false. This will cause Flex to deserialize your
ws responses into regular Object and Array instances instead of
ObjectProxy and ArrayCollection instances.
HTH,
Ben
