handling Array returned from Web Service

[dplows51]

Okay, so I followed this handy tutorial and everything works great. I'm using a Text Field component to pass the parameter (in this case a 'word') and a Text Area component is bound to the result (the 'definition'). All is good....

This works because the result is a String (which displays correctly when returned to the Text Area obviously). Now, I want to receive an Array as the result instead of a simple String. No surprise, the Array isn't displayed correctly in the Text Area..... it simply says "[object Object]". Can't do much with that....How can I receive this web service "result" in useful form? Can I use AS2 to set the value of an Array variable as the result from the web service (once it's finished)? If so, what's the syntax? FYI: I already know how to tell when the web service is done, just need the syntax for binding an Array variable to the result of the web service.

Note: The Dictionary web service from the tutorial (http://services.aonaware.com/DictSer...vice.asmx?WSDL) does have a method, Define(), that returns an Array as a result..... so use that if you'd like to help me out.

Thanks in advance for any help. Greatly appreciate it, you guys are always so awesome.

Hmm, the link works for me... Well I ended up resolving the issue using a DataSet component. You can see details here: http://www.actionscript.org/forums/s....php3?t=258182

Well it's not a link you visit in a browser. It's the URL to the WSDL file of the Dictionary Web Service, which you connect to through your WebServiceConnector component in Flash.

HOWEVER, this form DID mess up the long URL by auto-formatting it with a "...". You can see the full URL via my first link, on the next page (3).

you should still be able to click the link and see the XML provided for use.

the link works at ActionScripts.org still

http://services.aonaware.com/DictSer...vice.asmx?WSDL

even when converted/made smaller by the forum..when you hover over it..it still points to valid URL
