addAspect(type, props) from flex

[gokceng]

hi all,
when i execute parameters in the webscript side one-by-one then there is not any problem. I mean

document.addAspect("myAspect");
document.properties["myType:anything"] = args["anything"];
document.properties["myType:something"] = args["something"];
document.save();‍‍‍‍

it works. But I want to add these 'something' and 'anything' to an associative array and so that I would be able to use

document.addAspect("myAspect", args["parameters"]);‍

I've used

var params:Object = new Object();
args[anything] = anyValue;
args[something] = someValue;
params.args = args;
var token:AsyncToken = service.send(params);
token.addResponder(this);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

from the flex side but it didn't work out.

you might want to use json to send data to the javascript webscript (and use as3 corelib json support classes in your flex code)

Thanks for reply steve. I've managed to solve this problem using 2 different arrays on the Flex side. I'm sending the code, maybe it helps others:

for each(var item:Object in formItems)
         {
            var formItem:FormItem = item as FormItem;
            var paramName:Object = formItem.name;
            var paramVal:String;
            if(formItem.getChildAt(0) is MaskedTextInput)
            {
               var formItemMasked:MaskedTextInput = formItem.getChildAt(0) as MaskedTextInput;
               paramVal = formItemMasked.fullText;
            }
            else if(formItem.getChildAt(0) is TextInput)
            {
               var formItemText:TextInput = formItem.getChildAt(0) as TextInput;
               paramVal = formItemText.text;
            }
            params[paramName] = paramVal;
            nameArray.push(new String("vsf:" + paramName));
            valArray.push(paramVal);
         }
         params.nameArray = nameArray;
         params.valArray = valArray;
         var token:AsyncToken = service.send(params);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and in JS side:

nameArray = argsM["nameArray"];
valArray = argsM["valArray"];

for (var i in nameArray)
{
   var propName = nameArray[i];
   var propVal = valArray[i];
   if(propName.toLowerCase().indexOf("date") != -1)
      props[propName] = new Date(propVal);
   else
      props[propName] = propVal;
}
document.addAspect("vsf:myAspect",props);

So that it takes 1 for loop and 1 line to add aspect to a node with setting properties.
