I’m trying to connect a Flash interface with a web service over the company intranet, and so far having no luck at all. While I have a pretty good Flash background, my experience with
other web technologies is pretty limited. The web service, which spits back XML, has been put together by a web developer who doesn’t have a lot of experience with Flash. I’m using a web
service object to connect, and the URL he has given me to connect to looks like this:
**[COLOR=RoyalBlue]http://usdev.somedomain.com/PrintWebService/printwebservice.asmx?op=FindAllOfficesXML]http://usdev.somedomain.com/PrintWebService/printwebservice.asmx?op=FindAllOfficesXML
[/COLOR][COLOR=RoyalBlue][COLOR=Black]As I understand it, “http://usdev.somedomain.com/PrintWebService/printwebservice.asmx” is the web service itself and “FindAllOfficesXML” is the web service method.[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=RoyalBlue]
[/COLOR][COLOR=RoyalBlue][COLOR=Black]
But that URL doesn’t make sense in the context of my code:[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=RoyalBlue]
[/COLOR]***[COLOR=Black]import mx.services.WebService;
import mx.services.PendingCall;
connectto_ws();
function connectto_ws() {
datapath = “http://usdev.somedomain.com/PrintWebService/printwebservice.asmx?op=FindAllOfficesXML”;
printwebservice = new WebService(datapath);
pendingcall = printwebservice.FindAllOfficesXML();
pendingcall.onResult = function(result) {
_root.resultstring.text = result;
};
pendingcall.onFault = function(fault) {
_root.resultstring.text = fault.faultstring;
};
}
[/COLOR]*
I’m setting the web service URL to the specific method, FindAllOfficesXML, of the web service, and then I’m defining pendingcall as a method of that same method!
Changing the URL to more closely resemble examples I see online doesn’t work either:
[COLOR=RoyalBlue]http://usdev.somedomain.com/PrintWebService/printwebservice.asmx?wsdl[/COLOR]
I have a feeling the solution is pretty simple, but I’m not seeing it.
