I’m a newbie in flash. But I think I found a little bug in the rpc serializer, file ‘serializer.as’.

In this code snippet:

else if (arg instanceof Array)
{
typeNode = xml.createElement(“array”);
var dataNode:XMLNode = xml.createElement(“data”);
var arrayVal:Array = Array(arg);
var numElements:Number = arrayVal.length;
for (var i:Number = 0; i < numElements; i++)
{
dataNode.appendChild(createParamNode(xml, arrayVal[i]));
}
typeNode.appendChild(dataNode);
}

the variable arrayVal:Array = Array(arg) is created but only containes 1 element, the 'arg' array.
With this array, and the method calling itself in recursion, flash crash with a stack error.

I changed it to iterate over the arg parameter instead.
Here's the code I wrote:
else if (arg instanceof Array)
{
typeNode = xml.createElement("array");
var dataNode:XMLNode = xml.createElement("data");
var numElements:Number = arg.length;
for (var i:Number = 0; i < numElements; i++)
{
dataNode.appendChild(createParamNode(xml, arg[i]));
}
typeNode.appendChild(dataNode);
}

Just wanted to let you know. Also, as I said, I'm new to flash, so I might be wrong with my 'fix', but it now works on my side.

I have included code along the lines of the following…

var myStruct:serverInfoStruct = new serverInfoStruct ('value1', 'value2');


why do my struct members have empty value nodes?

I’m trying to use this to load openX advertisements into flash, and part of the requirements for thier xmlrpc call is a struct within a struct, much like an array where one of the elements is another array. Is that possible?

Did you finally port the XML-RPC to AS3.0. If yes, I will be interested to check it out.

I get an error in the compile of type mismatch: found com.probertson.rpc.Relayresponder2 where mx.rpc.Responder is required

Using a Responder seems to make no difference

I’m using actionscript 2 in Flash CS3 and followed the step-by-step guide to the letter

public function serializeRequest(methodName:String, args:Array):XML
{
var result:XML = new XML();
result.ignoreWhite = true;
result.contentType = “text/xml”; //////// add this line please
result.xmlDecl = “”;
