Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / November 2006

I am new to flash remoting and am testing that remoting can interface
with my business services and objects for a project that I am
interested in.  The problem is that although I can communicate with the
server on simple assembly service method calls, when i try to return an
array of objects, it says what the correct length is, but returns
"nothing" when i try to trace the values in the debugger!  Some help
would be appreciated.  I am making assembly calls on my c# .net service
with flash mx.  Below is my code:

Client code
----------------------
import mx.remoting.Service;
import mx.rpc.RelayResponder;
import mx.rpc.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.ResultEvent;
import mx.remoting.PendingCall;

//  fire up the output to the NetConnection debugger
mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug.initialize();

var newService = new Service("http://192.168.1.100/gateway.aspx", null,
"FlashRemoting.RemotingExample.EchoTest", null, null);

var pc:PendingCall = newService.GetPeople();
    pc.responder = new RelayResponder(this, "onRemotingResult",
"onRemotingFault" );

function onRemotingResult(re:ResultEvent):Void
{
    mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug.trace({level:"None", message:"There was no
problem: " + re.result });
    trace(re.result.length);
    trace("re = "+re[i]);
    for(var i=0; i < re.result.length; i++){
        trace("event name = "+re.result[i].Name);
    }//for
}

function onRemotingFault(fe:FaultEvent):Void
{
    mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug.trace({level:"None", message:"There was a
problem: " + fe.fault.faultstring });
    trace(fe.fault.faultstring);
}

And the Server code
-----------------------------
using System;
using FlashGateway.IO;

namespace FlashRemoting.RemotingExample
{
///
/// Summary description for Class1.
///
   public class EchoTest
   {
       public EchoTest()
           {
           //
           // TODO: Add constructor logic here
           //
       }
       public string echoString(string s)
       {
           s += " , hello";
           return s;
       }

       public Person[] GetPeople()
       {
           Person[] people = new Person[2];
           Person person = new Person();
           person.Name = "Jon";
           people[0] = person;
           person = new Person();
           person.Name = "Dave";
           people[1] = person;
           return people;
       }
   }
}
