Sorry, I was cc'ing Peter Farland to ask him. I was wondering whether the problem is that the binding isn't working, or that changing the url property isn't working. - Gordon

I set the url property (I use several) of the HTTPService just before I invoke any send() and it works fine. Or did I misunderstand? Come to think of it my name's not Pete, either ;) Tracy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gordon Smith Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 4:37 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Peter Farland Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Registering flashvar variables properly? Pete, should changing the 'url' property of an HTTPService after it is created work? - Gordon ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of flexnubslice Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 11:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Registering flashvar variables properly? Hi, I'm busting my head against the wall on this one, I have to say that Flex is pretty frustrating when you otherwise code C++ or Java by trade. Poking around, I have found how to pass variables into Flex apps using flashvars. If I check the Application.application.parameters value, they are all there. So far so good. What I need to do, is pass a proxy URL from HTML, into Flex, that will be used as a url parameter for an HTTPService. I have for example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" height="380" width="450" alpha="1.0" initialize="initApp();"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ [Bindable] &nbs! p; public var scrmurl:String; private function initApp():void{ var elements:Array = [ "scrmurl" ]; // there's quite a few of these.. for( var i:String in elements ){ if( Application.application.parameters[i] ) this[i] = Application.application.parameters[i]; } } ! ; ]]> </mx:Script> <mx: HTTPService contentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" id="contactform" method="POST" resultFormat="e4x" showBusyCursor="true" url= "{scrmurl}xmlrpc/request.php" useProxy="false" fault="handleFault( event )" result="handleResult( event )" /> The idea is to pass in scrmurl, ie http://yourdomain.com/ and the URL in HTTPService then becomes: http://yourdomain.com/xmlrpc/request.php Why won't they HTTPService then, acknowledge the scrmurl variable? When it posts, it only posts to ! xmlrpc/request.php, as though the parameter is being completely ignored.. Thanks! Alex
