According to Ben Forta this is what I need.
1) Create a ColdFusion CFC method which accepts a record to insert,
either a struct with properties or just a list of arguments.
DONE
2) Define a <mx:RemoteObject> connection to the CFC.
DONE
3) Create your form in Flex. The click event on the form button
calls an AS function.
FORM LAYOUT DONE, but not AS.
4) That AS function does any validation, and then calls cfcObj.method
() passing it an equivalent AS class or the values comma delimited.
What I still need help with is the AS to tie the onclick in the
button, to an AS function, then passing the form data to the
remoteobject.
Probably pretty easy AS, but I'm just trying to learn AS.
Conceptually, the process is clear, but I need to see a generic
example of the syntax. Here is portions of the code so far:
<mx:Script>
function sendFormdata(){
???????
}
</mx:Script>
<mx:RemoteObject
id="cfdataInsert" showBusyCursor="true"
destination="ColdFusion"
source="da8.Constellation.entries">
<mx:method name="createEntry" result="createEntry_result(event)" />
????
</mx:RemoteObject>
<mx:FormItem label="Name" id="FI_Name" required="true"
horizontalAlign="left">
<mx:TextInput id="Name" editable="true" enabled="true" width="300"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem label="email" id="FI_email" required="true">
<mx:TextInput id="Form_email" width="300"/>
</mx:FormItem>
<mx:FormItem id="FI_BTN_send">
<mx:Button label="Send" id="BTN_Send" click="sendFormdata()"
enabled="true" labelPlacement="right"/>
</mx:FormItem>
I'd appreciate any help pulling these three parts together.
Thanks,
Don
