Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / November 2004

Hi,

If you are using flash remoting ( I hope ) then you can use the XML for the
same. This will work better then the array.

Hope this helps

Good Luck

Hi Rooster60602

I am using FlashMX 2004 Pro to create a rich front-end for an asp.net
application.
I send Arrays of objects between the two without a problem via webservices.

I have written identical C# objects and ActionScript objects.
On a webmethod, getting data into flash, I return a array of these objects,
MyObject[], not an ArrayList (maybe this helps)
Getting data from flash I pass in an object array from flash as a parameter
in a webmethod MyObject[]

Casting the items in the array, in both directions, works perfectly.

My object array in Actionscript is a class which 'kind of' derives from a
DataProvider.
When I say 'kind of' , it doesnt extend the DataProvider but calls
DataProvider.Initialize(Array); in the constructor, and implements most of a
dataproviders methods.
I use this to bind the data to a grid, and before I pass this into a
webservice call, I have a toArray() method which basically
iterates through the list, pushes the item onto an Array and returns the
Array (This must be serializing it in some way)

I havent used "Remoting" as I feel I am getting by without it.

HTH
