Untested:
<mx:HTTPservice id="dsUniversal" resultFormat="e4x"
result="onResult(event)" ...>
private function getHTTPData(url:string,aParms:Array,sQueryId):void {
var oResult:Object = new Object();
var oParm:Object;
for (var i:int=0; i<aParms.length;i++) {
oParm = aParms[i];
oResult[oParm.name] = oParm.value;
}//for
var atCall:AsyncToken = dsUniversal.send(oResult);
atCall.sQueryId = sQueryId;
}//<mx:HTTPservice>
private function onResult(oEvent:ResultEvent):void {
var xmlResult = XML(oEvent.result);
var sQueryId:String = oEvent.token;
switch(sQueryId) {
case "query1":
doQuery1(xmlResult);
break;
Get the picture? I used array as the parms datatype for simplicity. As
long as you can loop over it to get the name=value pairs, xml would be
fine.

Subject: [flexcoders] How to make a "universal" httpservice
I am fairly new to Flex2 and AS3, 4 weeks of programming/experimenting
under the hood.
In a application I am using several (6-7) httpservice calls, to
retrieve data for the various elements. Works great!
One thing that _really_ annoys me, is that I have several
<mx:HTTPservice> instances, one for each service I need to call.
This is a obviously not the correct way to do it, but what is ?
I imagine I could make a AS function that would accept some parameters
like :
function getHTTPData(url:string,parms:xml):object {
<!-- insert fantastic code here -->
}
Can anyone help me out here ??
Thanks for your time,
Mark
