Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / August 2005

Hello there,

I want to pass an array from cold fusion into Flash, but I can't get the
values with Action Script.  The NetConneciton Debugger shows that the values I
want were indeed passed to Flash, but I can't get to them with ActionScript.

Here's the CFC script (where I first pass values from flash into coldFusion):

<cffunction name="getSpecificDuration" access="remote">
   
        <!-- params from FLASH -->
        <!-- create local array to loop array.length times -->
        <cfset areas = ArrayNew(1)>
            <cfset areas[1] = "#Flash['areaOne']#">
            <cfset areas[2] = "#Flash['areaTwo']#">
            <cfset areas[3] = "#Flash['areaThree']#">
            <cfset areas[4] = "#Flash['areaFour']#">
   
        <!-- create empty array to store values that will be passed back to Flash -->
        <cfset durations = ArrayNew(1)>
       
        <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#ArrayLen(areas)#">
             <cfquery name="appendOne" datasource="dbusertracking">
                SELECT Sum(contDuration)
                   FROM tb_contarea
                  WHERE contName = '#areas#'
              </cfquery>
            <cfset ArrayAppend(durations, appendOne)>
        </cfloop>
       
        <cfreturn durations>
    </cffunction>

After calling this CF function, the NetConneciton Debugger displays:

My AS function that retrieves this "array" is:

function getInfo(whichData)      //---- get server response ----//
{
    //receives data returned from the method
    this.onResult = function(result) {
        //trace("Data received from server : " + result);
        for (var i=0; i < result.length; i++) {
              thisDuration = result.item;
             trace("duration "+ i + " = "+ result.);   //*********
                          }       
                     }
};

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------
When I use:
trace("duration "+ i + " = "+ result.);     The output window displays:
duration 0 = [object Object]

When I use:
trace("duration "+ i + " = "+ result.item);  I get:  duration 0 = undefined

What am I doing wrong??
