RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 - XML Filter by Date

2009-03-10 Thread Doug Coning
Thank you, that helped a lot.  For anyone else trying to filter by date, here's 
the line of code:

var today:Date  = new Date();
var showXML:XMLList = result_xml.item.(new Date(date.toString()) = today);

Thanks,

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - XML Filter by Date

You can filter XML with arbitrary boolean functions, so the answer is
definitely yes.

See http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/13_Working_with_XML_08.html#131880

One of the examples there shows XML stored in var x with a list of employee
id=23/ type elements, and you can use this syntax to get an XMLList of
employees with id attributes over 300:

x.employee.(@id  300)

Similarly, if you had a birthdate field stored as milliseconds since 1970
you could filter on that like so:

x.employee.(new Date(@birthdate).getFullYear() == 2000)

to return a list of employees who were born in the year 2000.  (Presumably a
short list. :-)

[Flashcoders] Increase Recursion Level?

2008-10-01 Thread Doug Coning
Is there an actionscript command that can increase the recursion level within a 
flash movie?  I have a legitimate method that calls itself and may exceed the 
256 recursion limitiation.

Or, is it just best not to use recursion in Flash?

RE: [Flashcoders] Increase Recursion Level?

2008-10-01 Thread Doug Coning
Yeah, I found a parameter you could pass into the SWF file that would change 
the recursion level, but wanted to see if I could do it programmatically 
through AS.

I was using recursion to load assets into a swf.  I have an array of assets 
that needed to be loaded into a SWF file.  I've set up a function that would 
pop an element off the load array and then load the asset.  Upon completion of 
the load, it would call the function again if the load array's length  0.

I will change my code to use an onEnterFrame event instead to invoke the calls 
one at a time...

Thanks,

Doug

I think recursion limits are set at the Flash player level, but not at the 
published .swf level, so even if you could increase it (I don't think you can), 
the end user could not change it.  I could be wrong.  I don't know if it's 
necessarily a huge no-no, but I would say it would be recommended to avoid 
recursion as much as possible - puts a ton of strain on the processor and the 
player.  What are you using recursion for?

[Flashcoders] Resizing Flash Windows with Loaded JPGs?

2008-09-16 Thread Doug Coning
Greetings everyone,

I have a Flash web site in which I need flash to resize depending on the user's 
browser window size.  However, the flash file dynamically loads images and FLVs.

Is there a simple way to have flash automatically take a 950 X 600 size file 
and reduce it to fit in a smaller browser window?  Will the images and videos 
resize as well.  Or do I need to accomplish this task dynamically in 
actionscript by getting the reduction percentage and applying to the size of my 
images?

[Flashcoders] Prevent Enter Key Playback?

2007-09-13 Thread Doug Coning
I have a flash swf that plays to a certain frame and then stops.  Then
with JavaScript, I have HTML tell the flash player to play a demo later
on.  

However, if the swf file has the focus in the browser and the user
presses enter, it begins to play.  I've tried capturing the enter key
unsuccessfully to prevent it from playing.

Is there a way to prevent Enter Key from playing the movie when the swf
has the focus?

Is there a way to access the content that is uploaded via FileReference

[Flashcoders] Flash Player Communication Error?

2007-04-12 Thread Doug Coning
Good Morning,

I have a sample SWF file that I've been provided by a client that when
opened, connects to a data source via XML Socket.  I have created a
similar SWF file that communicates with their data source via XML
Socket, however when my SWF file is opened, it shows the Macromedia
Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation error and
requires that the file be set in the global settings as a trusted site.
Their file does not trigger this error.  I have looked at the original
ActionScript code and can't see the difference.  

Could the error be triggered by the version that the swf is compiled at?
Why would one swf file trigger the error and another not, even though
they are calling the same data source and are in the same directory?

Any feedback is much appreciated!!!

FW: [Flashcoders] Flash 8 Certification Study Tips?

2007-01-02 Thread Doug Coning
Thank you to everyone for their assistance in helping me pass the Flash
8 Certification.  I found your suggestions very helpful!  I spent a day
and a half studying through both Flash 8 Bible and Flash 8 ActionScript
Bible.  As an application developer who spends 95% of my time working
with Components, Web Services, XML and classes, I found the design,
video and audio questions to be challenging.  If you are in the same
boat as I was as a coder, I'd recommend spending time looking at the
video, audio and design features.

One of the things that I thought was interesting is that the test is
titled Macromedia Flash(r) Professional 8 Exam.  However, the logo I was
able to download upon passing the certification and registering states
Flash 8 Designer.  As a developer, I personally would prefer if it just
stated Flash 8 Certified.  Just my opinion...

Thanks everyone for your help.

[Flashcoders] TEXT Fields Speed

2006-12-18 Thread Doug Coning
Greetings Everyone,

I have an application that relies heavily on Web Services to perform
actions.  In the application, I have a function that allows the user to
view the XML, so that they can copy it out of the Text field and modify
it in an XML editor and then import it back in.  This works great for
our implementation folks.

However, on large XML (821K) results from the Web Service, it takes
upwards of a couple of minutes to just set the text in the text field to
the XML.  I put a timer on each step of the function and I am receiving
the XML back from the Web Service in a couple of seconds.  However, when
I perform the following code, it takes literally 2 minutes:

export_txt.text = AppType_xml.toString();

Is there a way to speed this process up?  I originally was using the
TextArea component and then have recently switched to just Dynamic Text
Fields.  I use this XML for other things throughout the Application
where I parse it and set lists and datagrid.  But when I do this, again
it only takes seconds, not minutes.

Any suggestions as how to display this XML in a text field faster?

Thanks,

[Flashcoders] Compare Decimal Point Value?

2006-12-06 Thread Doug Coning
I'm scratching my head over this.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong?  I
need to compare a decimal value of a numeric field to see if it contains
a specific value of 0.3.  Here is some sample code:

var num:Number = 2.3;
var num2:Number = num - int(num);
var num3:Number = 0.3;

trace(num);  // 2.3
trace(num2); // 0.3
trace(num3); // 0.3
trace(num2 == num3);//  false
trace(num2  num3);//   false
trace(num2  num3);//   true

Why doesn't 0.3 equal 0.3?  I've replaced int with Math.floor(), and it
still doesn't work.  I need to get the value after the decimal point and
see if it equals 0.3.

Yeah, I tried Math.round, but the floating point issue remains.
Math.round does remove the decimal values, but will round it.  That's
why I was using Math.floor.

In other languages that I've worked with, abs or absolute actually
returns the whole number and truncates the decimal value.  I wished
flash's Math.abs would remove a whole number...

Thanks and good suggestion in casting as a string.

 Is there a better way to get the decimal value if flash is 
 returning .299?
 
 The decimal value will always be either .1, .2 or .3.  It 
 will not exceed that.
 
 I just need to test for a .3 value.
 
 Any ideas?

Another way to tackle it as well is to split it and compare the 2nd
element
of the split array.

var num:Number = 2.3;
var split:Array = String(num).split(.);
trace(3 == split[1]);

RE: [Flashcoders] find same label

2006-10-23 Thread Doug Coning
I actually like using associative arrays to test for duplicate values.
Something like this:

var findItem_array:Array = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i  my_cb.dataProvider.length; i++){
if(findItem_array[my_cb.dataProvider[i].label){
my_cb.removeItemAt(i);
i--;
} else {
findItem_array[my_cb.dataProvider[i].label] = true;
}
}


The above is pseudo code and but the theory should work.

Hi

I'll do something like this.

First create a empty array. Then loop into your ComboBox like I show you

before. Each step of the loop, test if the value is allready in the
array. 
There is no method of array class to do that, but you can cast the array
as 
string and use the method indexOf of the string class, something like
this:

if (myArray.toString().indexOf(myValue)==-1) { ...

-1 means that the value is not in the string, then it's the first
occurence 
of this value. So push the value into the array for futur test and push
also 
this value into your second ComboBox.

If the value appears again, indexOf will return a positiv or 0 number,
then 
it's not pushed into your second ComboBox.

[Flashcoders] Direct ODBC connectivity?

2006-10-04 Thread Doug Coning
Does anyone know of a flash component that allows direct connectivity
between flash and an ODBC source?  Is this an impossibility?  I know
that I could probably write a web service to pull the data, but wanted
to see if there was a component that allows me to point to any odbc data
source and then pass in the sql query?  I imagine this is not possible,
but thought I'd ask before ruling it out.

CDATA):

public function getString(path:String, CDATA:Boolean):String{

[Flashcoders] Flash Player 9 Issues?

2006-09-15 Thread Doug Coning
Greetings all,

 

We have been noticing that with several of our clients' products that we
delivered their swf files for Flash Player 7, are now causing problems
with Flash Player 9.  In Internet Explorer, when they are performing
various functions that call web services, IE will stop and Popup an
error window that states: The following add-on was running when this
problem occurred: File Flash9.ocx.The swf files or content have NOT
changed on our end.

 

So, we rolled their flash players back to Flash Player 8 r24 and the
same processes that crash consistently with 9, work fine with 8. 

 

Has anyone else had any problems with Flash Player 9?  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash Player 9 Issues?

2006-09-15 Thread Doug Coning
I had the user check their IE, and they are still on IE 6.  We are
having this problem with several different users at different companies.
The problem only occurs with Flash Player 9.  When we uninstall the
player and reinstall 8, we have no problems.

Thanks,

Doug Coning

Thanks for including the error text. When I did a web search on phrase 
The following add-on was running when this problem occurred, I pulled 
up a Microsoft technote which referred to IE7 beta:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920082/en-us

But I see in the search results that lots of people have similar error 
reports, for lots of different modules, including various versions of 
Flash Player. If memory serves, that term add-on is only used for 
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 betas... is the person with this problem 
running a beta browser, and if so, is it Microsoft's current version?

[Flashcoders] Speed up Datagrids

2006-07-20 Thread Doug Coning
I've created an RIA application that depends heavily upon the Enhanced
Datagrid.  I like the datagrid quite a bit, however, each time a window
opens, it can take upwards of 10 seconds for the datagrid to
instantiate, and this is testing with small bits of data (Nothing more
than 40 records).  I load the data by using the .dataProvider method
which comes back from the server very quickly.  Most of my datagrids
only have 1 to 4 columns, so the column sizes are not the problem.  Yes,
a lot of them have cell renderers which I'm putting in a checkbox,
button or image.   Once the datagrid loads, it runs very well.  I just
don't think the user is going to like waiting 10 to 15 seconds everytime
they open a window in flash that has a datagrid.

Does anyone have any successful strategies for speeding up the datagrid
component?

Does anyone know if the List component is faster than the datagrid
component for showing simple data?

Thanks,

Doug Coning

[Flashcoders] Object Listener?

2006-06-12 Thread Doug Coning
Greetings,

 

Is there an object listener that will trigger if ANY item within the
object is modified?  I know watch will trigger if a specific attribute
is modified, however, I want to trigger an event if any of the
attributes within an object is modified.

 

My Object is a complex object.  I contains arrays that contain more
objects, that contain more arrays.  I don't want to have to add event
listeners for each array and item within my object. 

 

Does a single object listener exist that will recognize any change
within an object, no matter how deep it is?

 

Thank you very much!

  No, such thing does not exist.
 
  Perhaps you can use __resolve or getters and setters to hook in the

 I don't know whether this applies to your situation but...
 
 We had a similar issue that was caused by anomalies in the data
(believe
 it
 or not). It was a billing system built in Flash with a ColdFusion
middle
 tier and a SQL Server backend. When one particular user pulled up
certain
 accounts, the Flash UI would freeze on her. I know this doesn't make
 sense,
 but we solved it by analyzing the data in the accounts in question and
 looking for anomalies. We removed these anomalies, and sure enough the
 user's problem disappeared.
 
 We never figured out why these anomalies affected the Flash player,
nor
 did
 we figure out why they *didn't* affect anyone else's player except for
 that
 one user. But the same issue arose with several different client
accounts
 and that same user.

 Do the 5% have the same http: browsing capabilities as the 95%?  I had

 JavaScript document.write method to write out the Flash Object
tags
 -
 
 That shouldn't have anything to do with it since you said the
 application starts - so they are past the Javascript at that point.
It
 sounds like the Remoting call is failing for those users for some
 reason.
 
 And is it always the same 5% or is it 5% of random users?  If it's
 random, I have also had problems with network blips because someone
else
 was working on an application at the time or whatever.  If it's always
 the same 5% then it seems to be due to something specific to their
 configuration and not a network blip.
 
 Anyway, things to think about.

 Hello All,
 
 I have a very intense problem, that must be addressed ASAP - our
users
 
 are getting really angry :(
 
 We have a typical AS 2.0 Flash Application to view maps - and we are
 using Remoting w/ColdFusion in order to send our data back and
forth.
 
 For only like 5% of the users, the application starts and loads
 completely with all it's related controls.  BUT when the time comes
 for
 the initial Remoting call to the server (which populates all the
 dropdowns, etc.) it just hangs indefinitely - and we just can't
figure
 
 out what is going on.
 
 The other 95% of the user base is working perfect!  We have had
 comments
 regarding security settings, etc. so I know some users may have
 problems
 there, and some have Corporate Firewall problems - but that type of
 issue has to be addressed with the Admin person.  We are using the
 JavaScript document.write method to write out the Flash Object
tags
 -
 in order to circumvent the Click to Activate this control problem.
 
 What issues are we not seeing, or taking into consideration, which
 would
 affect this 5% of the user base?
 
 Also, a quick note, we are running ColdFusion on Port 80 - so there
 are
 no other port issues that I am aware of (in case some users were
 blocking port 8500).  I was confident that if we ran everything on
 Port
 80, that this app would be friendly to all Firewalls.
 
 Thanks in advance, for any advice you can throw my way.

[Flashcoders] Alert Component Cutting off Text

2006-06-05 Thread Doug Coning
Greetings!

Has anyone discovered a workaround on the Alert Component cutting off
long text?  I use the Alert Component to show database and web service
errors returned to the user, so I can't necessarily control the size of
the response.  The Alert Component will cut off long text (less than 200
characters...) and doesn't wrap the text around.  I've added \n\n...
to the end of my string and can see it in the alert, it just cuts off
the string passed in and doesn't wrap text.  I'm creating the Alert call
from within another class.  The alert shows, it just cuts off text...

Any suggestion?

Thanks,

RE: [Flashcoders] XML Parsing

2006-06-05 Thread Doug Coning
Isn't attributes quicker because flash has to create an object for each
node in the XML?  On my projects, attributes are much, much faster to
parse large file sizes with.  Also, XPATH works faster on
attributes(IMO)!

Also, another tip that you may have already figured out, if you can
control the names of the attributes, then have Flash just loop through
the attributes like the code below to parse out all the values.  This is
very fast to code and to parse, but another benefit is if you add
additional attributes, you don't have to remap those.  They will be
brought in automatically!  
 
var parsedData:Array = new Array();
for(i = 0; i  myXML_array.length; i++){
   var newObj:Object = new Object();
   for (var attr in myXML_array[i].attributes){
newObj[attr] = myXML_array[i].attributes;
   }
   parsedData.push(newObj);
}

 Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] XML Parsing
 
 If it was up to me, I would redo the XML to be a bit more concise and
 more standard.
 layers
 layer name=LayerOne
 assets
 asset width=20 height=10 xPos=50 yPos=30
 name=somename0.bmp /
 asset width=20 height=10 xPos=50 yPos=30
 name=somename1.bmp/
/assets
 /layer
 layer name=LayerTwo
 assets
 asset width=20 height=10 xPos=50 yPos=30
 name=somename2.bmp /
/assets
 /layer
 /layers
 
 This will parse better. It is probably easier to create.
 
 You can parse this into a Layers Object which is a collection (array)
of
 
 Layer objects.
 The Layer Object has a name (LayerOne) and a list of Asset Objects as
 propertie.s
 The Asset Object has properties which correspond to the XML
 attributes(width, height, etc.).
 
 The total layers is redundant since it is only the length of the
Layers
 Object array of Layers. function getLayerCount(){return
 layersList.length;}
 
 
 If you are stuck with your existing XMl, you can still use the same
 object structure once you have parsed it but will have a more
 complicated parse since you have these LayerOne, LayerTwo trees which
 will have to be recognized in your parse. With XPath, this will be a
 PITA.
 
 If you write your own parse, you can probably make some assumptions
 about the tree structure which will avoid having to write a lot of
code
 to deal with LayerOne, etc.
 
 By dynamic, we mean that you just store the whole XML string and parse
 it each time you want some information.
 If you can not fix your XML structure, dynamic parsing will likely be
 too expensive and you should parse the XML once into an object
hierarchy
 
 and work with the objects.

[Flashcoders] Get Original Variable's Name in Function?

2006-05-30 Thread Doug Coning
Greetings all,

Is it possible to retrieve the name of the variable passed into a
function?  For instance:

function myFunct(str:String){
// GET ORIGINAL NAME of str?
}

var foo:String = ABC;
var moo:String = DEF;
myFunct(foo);
myFunct(moo);

In the above, how can myFunct know that the first call was sent 'foo'
and the second call was sent 'moo'?

Thanks,

RE: [Flashcoders] Get Original Variable's Name in Function?

2006-05-30 Thread Doug Coning
I'm trying to create a _root level trace function where I can simply
pass a variable to a protoype function and it prints out the variable
name and value.  Here is the pseudocode for what I want to do:

MovieClip.prototype.TraceThis = function(str){
Trace(str.Name + :  + str.Value);
}
var myVar:String = This is my value;
TraceThis(myVar);

Simple function that would save time when developing by allowing me to
just pass a variable and it would spit out both the name and value
without me always typing it out (trace(myVar =  + myVar).  

I guess I'm lazy...

 var moo:String = DEF;

 The problem here is, if the variable is not constructed as the
property
 of an object, then the name is not kept.  For example:
 
 class MyClass
 {
   public var pvar:String = fine;
 
   public function MyClass()
   {
   var lvar:String = not fine;
   tracethis(lvar);
   tracethis(pvar);
   }
 }
 
 While pvar will have its name somewhere in the instanced objects, the
 lvar will not.  This is because flash will drop the naming as its
scope
 is at the function level and so is not important.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flex vs. Flash IDE

2006-05-23 Thread Doug Coning
I was looking at the components that make up the Flex environment and
noticed that Charting is now a separate component.  The promo mentions
that charting will work seamlessly with Flex Data Services.  

Does this mean that it won't work with Web Services?  Do you have to use
the Data Services to use charts?

 Personally I think a far more important question is how (well) Flex
and
 Flash will work together, because now we'll have 2 IDE's to
 work with.
 
 For a long time there have been 2 (or more) type of Flash users:
 developers and designers. And with each new (Flash) version the gap
 between the 2 became bigger. Now with the release of Flex2 both type
of
 users will be able to focus better on what they're good at,
 working with an IDE they feel comfortable with.
 
 Maybe one downside for certain developers will be that we'll have to
 own/use both. I'm thinking of freelancers like myself.

This may be a dumb question, but has anyone ever developed a project in

If so, why?  I'm trying to determine if there are any pitfalls of

[Flashcoders] Listener: 'Best Practice'

2006-05-12 Thread Doug Coning
Greetings Experts,

I'm writing to ask a 'best practice' question for how I should add a
Stage Listener to trigger a function that resizes components nested
throughout my project to fit inside the resized window.  Which of these
is considered 'best practice'? 

1) Attach a single Stage Listener to the _root level that triggers a
single function, which in turns, calls a resize function in every
MovieClip that I need to resize an object?
 
OR

2) Place a Stage listener in each and every Movie Clip that contains an
object that will need to be resized so that it is triggered in the movie
clip?

OR

3) Does it not matter?
 
Thank you, thank you, thank you...

[Flashcoders] Class Dropdowns in Flash

I believe I read somewhere, but can't locate it, where you can add a
feature that allows the properties of custom created classes to show in
Flash when you are developing.  I'd like to add some frequently used

methods for the class show.

Is this possible?  How would I do this?

 thecontentpath/@videoUrl);
 video_mc.mediaPlayer.setMedia(thisVideo);//does not work
 
 Even though no compiler errors and a trace on the var
 
 
 thisVideo
 
 
 traces the proper string (media/video/Welcome.flv) - or what I
 
 
 thought
 
 
 was a string, the video in the MediaPlayback component does not
 
 
 play.---
 
 
 **So instead, when casting to String first, this works:
 var thisVideo:String = String(XPath.selectNodes(content_xml,
 thecontentpath/@videoUrl));
 video_mc.mediaPlayer.setMedia(thisVideo);.//works
 
 Why?  What type of object was the Xpath value before I cast it to
a
 string?  This makes sense for numbers in an XML file, but for
 
 
 Strings???
 
 
 The kicker is I can send other XPath values I don't cast to
strings
 first to text fields, textAreas, and they show up fine.  So is it
 something quirky with V2 components as well?
 
 Thanks.

[Flashcoders] Integrating Flash with ASP.Net

2005-12-01 Thread Doug Coning
Greetings All,

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for
having Flash integrate with an ASP.Net environment.  Specifically, I
want my Flash swf file to be able to access field values in an ASP.Net
Form that the swf file will reside in?  Furthermore, is it possible to
access C# functions within the page?

If someone could point me in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate
the headstart...

Thanks,

[Flashcoders] WebService Class Help

2005-11-15 Thread Doug Coning
Greetings!

I'm trying to setup a WebService class to handle multiple operations.
Some operations will have many parameters, while others may have none.
However, I'm having problems figuring out how to pass either an array or
an object to the WebService class.  Below is an example that sends 2
strings.  How could I change the code below to pass an array containing
the two country strings and then pass that into the callback object?

import mx.services.WebService;
//  VARIABLES
var country1:String = USA;
var country2:String = Canada;

// WEB SERVICE
function WebCall(str1:String, str2:String){
var WSDL_URL:String =
http://www.xmethods.net/sd/2001/CurrencyExchangeService.wsdl;;
var wsExRate:WebService = new WebService(WSDL_URL);
var oCallback:Object = wsExRate.getRate(country1, country2);
oCallback.onResult = function(nRate):Void {
trace(Rate for  + country1 +  to  + country2 +  = 
+ nRate);
};
}
WebCall(country1, country2);

[Flashcoders] Flash Certification

2005-11-04 Thread Doug Coning
Greetings All,

 

My company is encouraging all its developers to pursue certification
over the next year in their realms of expertise.  I know that there have
been several threads on the legitimacy of certification and I'm not
trying to revisit that discussion.  Instead, I'd like to ask if anyone
know the plans for certifications now that Flash 8 is out (i.e. will
there be a Flash 8 certification test?) and also is Adobe going to
continue the flash certification process when Flash becomes Adobe Flash?

 

Thanks,

 I could not resist finding out what was wrong, here's the fix I came
up
 with:
 
 Line 70 of com.xfactorstudio.xml.xpath.XPathUtils reads:
 for (var i=1 ; i=max ; i+=2)
 
 It should say i=max to accommodate 1 character text node values.
Make
 that change and your query will work.

 You will see that the convertForComparison method is not working

 this, I hope this gets you on the right path (har har).

 Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash project FLP files are useless
 
 Hello Flashcoders,
 
   From time to time I'm trying to find improvements for work process
   ;-)
   So, I tried Flash Projects feature/panel of MX 2004 Pro.
   And... found it useless:
   - to use version-control, one need MS Visual SourceSafe Client
   version 6 installed. Besides, it doesn't make sense if you work
   alone.
   - to manage projects, I don't need it either. I use SciTE/Flash
   for editing .as files and Flash authoring only for drawing and
   assembling the swf. In fact, now I use #include file_name or ext.
   classes instead of all_code_in_one_frame approach even for small
   projects.
 
   Question:
   Have anyone found any use of  Flash Projects feature/panel? Maybe in
   Flash 8? Of course, excluding version control for workgroups.
 
   Thanks.

[Flashcoders] XPath bug?

2005-11-02 Thread Doug Coning
I believe we may have stumbled across another bug or issue of the Xpath
application (Unless I'm doing something wrong).  The code below shows a
sample product xml document where I am trying to return nodes based upon
a value in a child node.  In the sample if the user wanted to return all
products that are red, the Xpath doesn't return it properly.  I have
tested and retested the xpath that I'm using in an XML editor and it
works.

Thank you ahead of time for you help...  If someone knows how to get
around this, I'd appreciate your help!

[Flashcoders] Extending WebService Class

2005-10-27 Thread Doug Coning
I'm trying to create a class that extends the WebService Class:

class CentralService extends mx.services.WebService {
}

Everytime I try to instantiate the class like such:

var cs:CentralService = new CentralService();

I get the following error:

Error opening URL file:///C|/flash/undefined

Any suggestion on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
