Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / May 2006

look if i have spent upwards of 20 hours not being able to get past first base, on something which chooses to work sometimes and not others -  i am entitled to rant!!

Below is an extract of an app that was working but has now decided not to play..

#include "DataGlue.as"
#include "NetServices.as"
#include "NetDebug.as"
init = function () {
    if (this.inited != undefined) {    
return;
    } else {
        this.inited = true;
      NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway");
        gatewayConnnection = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
        london = gatewayConnnection.getService("companies_directory.london.london", this);
        dataForServer = new Object();    
        trace("REMOTING INITIALIZED");  
    }
};
//call init function
init();

_global.mode = "no mode";
verityResult.text = "";

//allows for edit screen to be switched between entry and edit
function setEntryMode()
{
    mode = "entry";
    gotoAndStop("edit");
};

//lists all articles accordng to their sectionID
function listArticles()
{
// SERVER CALL  
london.listArticles(sectionId);  
//trace("listArticles Function Called");
};

//this is called after data has been succesfully retrieved
//from the server-side method of the same name
function listArticles_Result(dataFromServer)
{    
//trace("Data for listArticles received from Server");

// initialize the local Data Object and transfer the incoming recordset    
//this.employeeData_rs = dataFromServer;
   
// populate the UI Component using DataGlue to Format the Data    
DataGlue.bindFormatStrings(articles_lb, dataFromServer,"#title#", "#londonId#");
DataGlue.bindFormatStrings(articlesLive_lb, dataFromServer,"#title#", "#londonId#");
    };
