[flexcoders] simple arraycollection question

[Richard Baker]

I have a .as class extending arraycollection.

In the constructor I set up a webservice and listner to capture the
result in resultHandler

Ideally in resultHandler I'd do something like
  this=event.result;

but it doesn't work, so I am looping over the event.result, adding it
to the array collection like:

   this.addItem(event.result[i]);

can I assign the whole array collection in one go. Probably missing
something simple, but I just can't see it :(

Thx

I dont know the format that php uses for sending data, but in java when I
send data, the result also has a field called source which is already in the
form of an ArrayCollection. This I suspect depends on the data structure
used to send the data and how php does it.

code should read:



public function result(data:Object):void {

this works fine,

public function result(data:Object):void {
var myList:Array = data as Array;
}

this is what is being sent to result()


var sendList: Object = ['test 0','test 1','test 2','test 3','test 4','test
5','test 6'];
responder.result( sendList );
.



Thanks much,
