Nope, haven't tried that yet.
Basicaly what I did to get it to work is to make all my variables in
Flex2 be strings. Then when I assign the value returned from the
CFC, if its a date or number being returned I use String() which will
convert the number or date to a string representation.
mx:DateFormatter id=StdDateFormat/
mx:CurrenctFormatter id=StdMoneyFormat precision=2/
[Bindable]
public var date_dp:String = new String();
[Bindable]
public var total_dp:String = new String();
date_dp = String(result[0].DATE);
total_dp = String(result[0].TOTAL);
Then in the binding I use a currency formater and a date formater
which seem to take strings or number/dates as acceptable input and
output correctly.
mx:Label text={StdDateFormat.format(date_dp)}/
mx:Label text={StdMoneyFormat.format(total_dp)}/

Greg,
I'm not sure, but I think that in AS 3.0 you can't assign an empty
string to
a Date Object. It's stronglly typed. As well you can't assigns na
empty
string to a Numeric variable. You must return 0 or -1 to a numeric
variable.
I guess that's the problem.
As you're using Flex2 and ColdFusion, have you tested using session
variables? It's not working for me and I don't know why. I tested
the same
components using just the browser and it worked.
Thanks.

Assunto: [flexcoders] Flex 2:CFC can't seem to return the same type
I have a date field that gets returned to Flex2 from a CFC. Thing
is when
there is a date in it, it returns a date. When there is no date in
it, it
returns a empty string.
Flex is having indigestion as the Flex variable is of date type.
So when a
date is returned, its happy, when a empty string is returned, it
complains
about coersion failure from string to date.
If this were a different language I would use something like
IsDate, but the
closest thing to it seems to be the DateValidator which, atleast as
presented in the documentation, seems more complex then what I
really need.
Is there a function in Flex 2 that will accept a date or a empty
string and
will return ether a valid date or an empty date? Or is there a
better way
to pass the date from the CFC so even when its flex still sees
it as a
date type?
Thanks
