I do have another function that returns bool and it does work ok... And for sake of argument I changed the "true" and "false" to 0 and 1 and had the same effect.
I just noticed that another one of my functions isn't returning the correct information. It's returning the email address which was changed days ago. I've had similar things like this happen in the past when I was playing around with flex before being serious about developing with it. My solution then was to recreate the application and copy over the mxml files. I'm thinking something is stuck again with the compiler. Regardless, I'm going to look at that proxy. I've written a .cfm file to test the component and everything tests out ok. Has anyone had issues with things getting "stuck" in the compiler as well? ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of valdhor Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 10:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: {Disarmed} [flexcoders] Re: AS3 function returning true when it only can be false All that means is that ColdFusion is returning a boolean. When it goes across the pipe and is returned to Flex, it may be a different type altogether. I would suggest using an HTTP Proxy like Charles (www.charlesproxy.com) to see exactly what is being returned over the pipe. As an aside, I find that Charles is indispensable when trying to debug remote calls and results. It has saved me countless hours and is well worth the cost. --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Scott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Actually it does return a Boolean > > <cffunction name="userStatus" access="remote" returntype="boolean"> > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Ralf Bokelberg > Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 8:58 AM > To: [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: Re: [flexcoders] AS3 function returning true when it only can be false > > It appears to me, that your Coldfusion script returns a string instead > of a boolean.
