First and foremost, we must know: what is the name of the operation/method of the web service, and what are the parameters names and datatypes. I am not good enough at reading wsdls to offer to analyze yours, but you can probably figure it out, or find some documentation.
For instance, where did you come up with the string, 'Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI"? Next, decide whether you want to do the whole thing in AS or not. I often declare the web service in mxml, then manipulate it in AS. No, "new GetInfo()" would not be correct. Declaring the WebService in mxml, or calling "loadWSDL" automatically makes the operations/methods available to the web service instance, no need to "new". Here is a simple example that might help: http://www.cflex.net/showfiledetails.cfm?ObjectID=223 Tracy _____ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jim Sent: Thursday, March 05, 2009 11:39 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Web service, parameters, errors... Help please Tracy, > The value you want to pass needs to be in the text node, not in an > attribute. Something like: > > <Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI>X</Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI> The above line won't work; it gets the error message about "Initializer for 'Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI'; values of type com.draper.Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CITypeShape cannot be represented as text." with or without quotes. I wonder if you would be willing to help me flesh out the function path (As I said, I'm pretty new to this, both Flex and ActionScript). private function betterway (): void { var myService:GetInfo = new GetInfo();(is that right for myService?) var sValue:String = "something"; var oRequest:Object ={ Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CI : sValue }; myService.send(); If I try this, I get an error that there is no send() method for GetInfo. If I switch it to myService.findID(oRequest) I get an error that type Object is being coerced to "possibly unrelated type com.draper:Find__CompIntfc__DL_TREE_IB_CITypeShape."
