Hi Gordon,
Warnings are on, nothing displayed. I'm using Flex 3 if that's of any
relevance.
In the same thread, yes I did mean to write earlier that modifying
contactform.url inside of initapp solved the problem.
Regards.
Alex

Alex, your code
<mx:HTTPService ... url= "{scrmurl}xmlrpc/request.php" ... />
should have generated a binding warning. Do you have them turned off?

Right, HTTPService.url isn't marked [Bindable]. Programmatically updating it
as needed should work, as Tracy mentioned.

Do you mean adjusting the HTTPService's 'url' property?

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'}"

scrmurl isn't a dynamic property.. it's declared at compile time as a
public var, and should be bindable.

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
