[flexcoders] Registering flashvar variables properly?

[flexnubslice]

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:


http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
 layout="absolute" height="380" width="450" alpha="1.0"
initialize="initApp();">

 
 
 




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!

[flexcoders] Passing Parameters, is something like this possible with Flex?

[flexnubslice]

Instead of posting a ton of :

if( Application.application.parameters.x)
 this.x= Application.application.parameters.x;

if( Application.application.parameters.y)
 this.y= Application.application.parameters.y;

... ad nauseam ...  I was wondering if it was possible to do something
like this?

var elements:Array = [ "a", "b", "c" ];

for( var i:String in elements ){
 if( Application.application.parameters.i )
 this.i = Application.application.parameters.i;
}

I'm not too certain of the language constructs here being new to Flex, 
help greatly appreciated!  The  highlighted line, it does not like.

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Arrays, iteration, and referencing local variables?

[flexnubslice]

I'm trying to do something like this, but am unsure of the proper
language constructs in Flex:


var a:String = "";
var b:String = "";
var c:String = "";

private function initApp():void{
  var elements:Array = [ "a", "b", "c" ];

  for( var i:String in elements ){
if( Application.application.parameters.i )
  this.i = Application.application.parameters.i;
  }
}

Just trying to init some vars if they were set, but not sure how to
reference the this.i part..

Thanks!

[flexcoders] Tracing HTTPService Data?

[flexnubslice]

Hi there,

  Thanks in advance for your help.  I'm a newcomer to Flex, but am
definitely not new to Eclipse being a Java programmer by trade.

  I've set up a basic HTTPService as introductory project, and quickly
found that I can add breakpoints into fault and result events.  What I
cannot find though, is how to trace the data that the HTTP portal is
feeding the Flex app.  Is there a means to debug the actual request data?

Thanks.
Alex
