Parsing XML web service in flash

[willie]

Hi,

I am using a web service in AS3 found here - http://labs.alducente.com/index.php?page_id=13#comment-118

Everthing is set up and working, if you look at the the link you will see this line of code:
trace(serviceResposne)
It spits out this xml from my own data base in ASP.net 2.0:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <soap:Body>
    <getTitlesResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
      <getTitlesResult>
        <xsd:schema id="NewDataSet" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">
          <xsd:element name="NewDataSet" msdata:IsDataSet="true" msdata:UseCurrentLocale="true">
            <xsd:complexType>
              <xsd:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
                <xsd:element name="Table">
                  <xsd:complexType>
                    <xsd:sequence>
                      <xsd:element name="title" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
                    </xsd:sequence>
                  </xsd:complexType>
                </xsd:element>
              </xsd:choice>
            </xsd:complexType>
          </xsd:element>
        </xsd:schema>
        <diffgr:diffgram xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata" xmlns:diffgr="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-diffgram-v1">
          <NewDataSet>
            <Table diffgr:id="Table1" msdata:rowOrder="0">
              <title>Biology ch1</title>
            </Table>
            <Table diffgr:id="Table2" msdata:rowOrder="1">
              <title>Vocabulary</title>
            </Table>
            <Table diffgr:id="Table3" msdata:rowOrder="2">
              <title>WWII</title>
            </Table>
            <Table diffgr:id="Table4" msdata:rowOrder="3">
              <title>Chemistry</title>
            </Table>
            <Table diffgr:id="Table5" msdata:rowOrder="4">
              <title>Measurment</title>
            </Table>
            <Table diffgr:id="Table6" msdata:rowOrder="5">
              <title>Biology ch2</title>
            </Table>
          </NewDataSet>
        </diffgr:diffgram>
      </getTitlesResult>
    </getTitlesResponse>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

How can I print the titles?

I have tried many combination of:
      trace(serviceResponse.NewDataSet.Table);
      trace(serviceResponse.soap::Envelope);

from other examples but nothing works.

Thanks

assign this to a XML Object, then you can walk through it qith the XML methods.

I believe I have, here is flash code:

import alducente.services.WebService;
import flash.events.*;//Instantiate the class
var ws:WebService = new WebService();//Add a listener for when the web service methods become available
ws.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, connected);

//Connect to the service by downloading the WSDL
ws.connect("http://localhost:52533/StudyBuddyFromScratch/Services/tests.asmx?WSDL");

//Once connected, call an available method on the service named "ResolveIP" with the appropriate parameters
function connected(evt:Event):void{
   //ws.ResolveIP(done, "192.123.0.200", 0);
   ws.getTitles(done);
}

//This function is called when there is a response from the sesrvice
function done(serviceResponse:XML):void{
   trace("nWeb Service Result: ");
   trace(serviceResponse);
}

When I try and print something other than serviceResponse it is always blank or flash has an error with my trace

just grab the result and use the xml methods on it.
read more details in the helpfile under XML.

I believe you think this is regular XML where you have a set up like

<music>
  <myMusic>
    <song>blue sky</song>
  </myMusic>
</music>

and have something like mySong = xml.music.myMusic.song

etc...

but this is not how it works from a webService

Here is a link to EE that explains this scenario.
