[xmlrpcflash-development] help!

[Paulo <pa...@ps...>]

hi everybody!

im in a trouble, i have little experience with xml-rpc and flash and i =
can't get the results from my connection.

actually, i start a connection with a python server, and set up a =
server. i can send the data, the server reads and treats it and return =
it to me, but i donk know how to acess it!

a dont know how to read the properties from the resulting value, cause i =
dont know where they are stored.... the lib uses the actionscript method =
called loadAndSave, and then i dont know from where i can read the =
data...

thanx in advance folks!!

Hello Paulo,

This has been a problem with this library since I joined this project.
Basically, the xmlrpc post/request methods are terrific, but the return =20=

results leave a lot to be desired.  Many xmlrpc libraries return =20
objects native to a given language, but this library hasn't gotten =20
there yet.

I would suggest the following resources to help parse the xmlrpc =20
response:

A great standards-compliant xml parsing library:
http://xfactorstudio.com/projects/XPath/

And from the horses mouth:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/action_scripts/objects/=20
xml_object.html


At the moment, I wish I could instruct you how to use a builtin object =20=

aquisition library, but we aren't there yet.

I would love to invite you, if you are working with the library, to =20
join this mailing list- and please post good results!

Best,
.ike

What if we were to enforce a standard on return values, like a python
dictionary, or list of dictionaries.

The python xmlrpc library is really easy to work with in this regard
because every return value looks the same.  Even if it's a single value,
it's wrapped in a single value list, then in a dictionary.

I'm just a newbie at actionscript, so excuse my ignorance, but can't we do
the same thing here?

What is the actionscript equivalent of a python dictionary anyway?  Just a
multi-part array?

Lets get this last hurdle locked down so we can all rock it.
