Question

Keeping WebService responses straight

After a bit of a struggle, I've managed to get the flex WebService class working with my Flash CS4 project thanks to this:

The problem I'm having is that If I do two calls in rapid succession to different methods of the same WebService, then I can't distinguish the results when they come back. In my project, my function onWebServiceData would trigger twice, but I couldn't tell which time was in response to Method1 and which was in response to Method2.

I've attached a stripped down version of my code:

Any suggestions about how to sort this out would be much appreciated.

so you are actually getting a value for action? Perhaps it depends on the WSDL command you run? Or the WSDL gateway you are using?

OK the getSoapAction() method keeps returning the empty string.

I imported this to get rid of compiler complaints:
import mx.messaging.messages.SOAPMessage;


these two lines result in action = ""
var soapMesg:* = event.token.message as SOAPMessage;
var action:String = soapMesg.getSOAPAction();

Thanks for the replies! I like that second one pretty much. I was doing a lot of trace calls on the events that came back and they didn't seem to have any properties. I'll see if I can check it out again.

... or you could work with the message property of the event. i.e.

When you invoke a method, you can store the returned mx.rpc.AsyncToken and check against the value dispatched with the event. i.e.
