Why wouldn't a flex remoteobject be able to work within a custom component?
- by Gary
Please enlighten this flex noob. I have a remoteobject within my main.mxml. I can call a function on the service from an init() function on my main.mxml, and my java debugger triggers a breakpoint. When I move the remoteobject declaration and function call into a custom component (that is declared within main.mxml), the remote function on java-side no longer gets called, no breakpoints triggered, no errors, silence.
How could this be? No spelling errors, or anything like that. What can I do to figure it out?
mxml code:
< mx:RemoteObject id="myService"
destination="remoteService"
endpoint="$(Application.application.home}/messagebroker/amf" >
< /mx:RemoteObject >
function call is just 'myService.getlist();'
when I move it to a custom component, I import mx.core.Application; so the compiler doesn't yell
my child component: child.mxml
<mx:Panel xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="init()" >
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.core.Application;
public function init():void {
helloWorld.sayHello();
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:RemoteObject id="helloWorld" destination="helloService" endpoint="$(Application.application.home}/messagebroker/amf" />
<mx:Label text="{helloWorld.sayHello.lastResult}" />
</mx:Panel>
my main.mxml:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="init()" xmlns:test="main.flex.*" >
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var home:String;
[Bindable]
public var uName:String;
public function init():void {
//passed in by wrapper html
home = Application.application.parameters.appHome;
uName = Application.application.parameters.uName;
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<test:child />
</mx:Application>
