Hi all,
I’m trying to build a flex front end which sends a few parameters to a train timetable site - station, period and direction and this then returns the time the train will be at the station!
I’m trying to add the above parameters in AS3 like this
[COLOR=red]var params:Object = new Object() ;
//use values selected by user in the combo boxes
params.STATION = station.selectedLabel ;
params.PERIOD = period.selectedLabel ;
params.DIRECTION = direction.selectedLabel ;[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#ff0000][/COLOR]
[COLOR=navy]NB I have 3combo boxes for the user to select from, they’re called[/COLOR]
[COLOR=navy] - station[/COLOR]
[COLOR=navy] - period[/COLOR]
[COLOR=navy] - direction[/COLOR]
[COLOR=navy]respectively[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red][/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]//create an HTTPService object named service
var service:HTTPService = new HTTPService();[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]//set the properties of the service object
//url is where to connect
service.url = “[/COLOR][COLOR=red]http://dartTimetable.com/widget/getTrain.pl[/COLOR][COLOR=red]”;
service.method=“post”;[/COLOR]
[COLOR=red][/COLOR]
[COLOR=red]//connect to the URL and pass the name-value pairs int The parameters object
service.send(params);[/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]For some reason the parameters aren’t added to the request? Does anyone have any ideas what I might be doing wrong or can anyone advise me on a better way of doing this?[/COLOR]
Thanks a mil for any help in advance,
Regards,
Derm
