The way I think of it is that you are asking a server a question and receiving either a fault or a result. When you get a result, you generally need to massage the data returned so you need to tell Flex which function will handle the resultant data.
So the result="myResultHandler()" says to me: When a result is returned, send the resultant data off to this function to do something with it. --- In [email protected], "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ok how about "onsuccess" and "onfailure" > > The "result", to me is what the service returns, not the function that > is used if the service returns a result.
