Whatever I tried, it just wouldn't work. I had to finally resort to giving the HTTPService object an id, and adjusting that object's ID inside of the initialize block. Doing that, worked. Setting the HTTPService url to the bindable var inside of the XML markup, was a no-go.

Oops, missed that, but of course, otherwise "this[i] =" would have errored, since Application is not dynamic. Thanks' for the correction, Gordon, and never-mind, Alex. So, Alex, this: "url= "{scrmurl}xmlrpc/request.php" should work. How about when you do your send(), you verify scrmurl has the string in it? You might also try a different style of binding/assignment: url= "{scrmurl + 'xmlrpc/request.php'}" Tracy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gordon Smith Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 4:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Registering flashvar variables properly? scrmurl isn't a dynamic property.. it's declared at compile time as a public var, and should be bindable. - Gordon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tracy Spratt Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 12:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Registering flashvar variables properly? You won't be able to {bind} to dynamically created properties easily. There may be a way to set up a binding using AS, not sure. You could just set the url directly in initApp().

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] 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
