thank you Dasa, I had already found that example and am trying to use it to create mine.  The thing I did not know about until now was the Geometry service.  That makes A LOT of sense and hopefully I can now put this problem behind me. I will let everyone know. Again thanks to everyone who responded and if you should think of anything else, please let me know. ... View more

Sorry about the duplication but I didn't see the original so I thought it didn't get posted.  Again sorry for the duplication. ... View more

Robert, Thanks for the quick response.  This is easy for you to say but I am pretty much a newbee at this and have been working on this particular problem for a very long time.  I work on it a while and then go on to something else, then come back to it for a while and so on and so on. Could you point me to an example of performing a selection by area or polygon.  That is my first real issue and then I will go onto merging two selected featuresets together. I really hate bothering people with something that to me should be so very simple but everytime I look at it I go into a brain freeze... brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 🙂 Again thanks ... View more

Matthew, I was reading this thread and like you I am new at this and was wondering if you could pass on the code that you wrote that resolved this issue. Thanks in advanne Richard Krell ... View more

Thaks Robert, I was just in the process of re-writing the code into 3.  Yes, I am part of the crossdomain. ... View more

Is this code written in Flash 4 or Flex 3.6 because although we are due for upgrading we are still working in 3.6? Ok, sorry. I got confused reading your earlier posts. Looking at what you have, you actually want to use a WebService, not an HTTPService. You'd use a WebService to send requests to a function and get results. An HTTPService would be used to load something like an XML or Text file. Here is an example of using a WebService with your service. Don't worry about converting to XML unless that's your thing. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"                xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"                xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"                minWidth="955"                minHeight="600"                applicationComplete="init()">     <fx:Declarations>         <!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->     </fx:Declarations>     <fx:Script>         <![CDATA[             import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;             import mx.controls.Alert;             import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;             import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;             import mx.rpc.soap.mxml.WebService;             protected var service:WebService;             protected function init():void {                 service = new WebService();                 service.showBusyCursor = true;                 service.wsdl = "http://data.cmap.illinois.gov/ws/tip/tipservice.asmx?wsdl";                 service.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, onResultsLoaded_handler);                 service.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, onFault_handler);                 service.loadWSDL();             }             protected function onFault_handler(event:FaultEvent):void {                 Alert.show("Error in calling service: " + event.message, "Error");             }             protected function onResultsLoaded_handler(event:ResultEvent):void {                 try {                     dgResults.dataProvider = event.result as ArrayCollection;                 }                 catch (e:Error) {                     Alert.show("An error occurred loading results: " + e.message, "Results error");                 }             }             protected function btnRequest_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {                 service.getproject(input.text);             }         ]]>     </fx:Script>     <s:layout>         <s:VerticalLayout gap="5"                           horizontalAlign="center"                           paddingTop="25" />     </s:layout>     <s:TextInput id="input"                  width="200" />     <s:Button id="btnRequest"               label="Send Request"               width="200"               click="btnRequest_clickHandler(event)" />     <mx:DataGrid id="dgResults"                  width="800"                  height="300" /> </s:Application> Now as far as how this relates to the example you linked in your first post, the above will get you the ArrayCollection of results you were looking for in your first post. Now you can use those results to create a "where" query on your map service. ... View more

Thanks for the latest response and believe me I will look at it. I spent last evening working on this and I came up with something different.  I am also attaching the file and the actionscript class file. Again, unfortunetly these are examples I found as I was researching this. I know it is probably that I have been working on this for so long that it has become so hard but I really do appriciate everyone's help. ... View more

Robert, To be honest I am getting confused and that is probably my biggest problem.  I took some code as I mentioned in the beginning that was using the querytask and now I am trying to re-write it to use HTTPservice. I have always had problems with this and I don't know why.  I have done apps in VB, Avenue, and many others for years but this Flex for some reason has me tearing my hair out. So yes I am trying to use HTTPservice to retrieve these records.  I know the webservice is OK because I have been using it.  You can try it if you want and just enter a ID 01-06-0068.  I will return one record. ...

I started this thread the other day in an attempt to resolve a coding problem I am having and received some really good answers. But after being deverted for a day on another project I am back and hate to keep being such a bother but I am truely over my perverbial head. Below is the funtion I am trying to get working but I keep getting an error 1034 telling me I cannot covert a featureset into an resultevent. I believe I understand the error but don't understand where it is coming from. //************************************************************************* public function runQueryTask(geometry:Geometry):void { //************************************************************************* [INDENT] var queryTask:QueryTask = new QueryTask(); queryTask.url = "http://data.cmap.illinois.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/Maps/TIP_Test/MapServer/0"; [LEFT]var query:Query = new Query(); query.geometry = geometry; [LEFT]query.returnGeometry = true; query.spatialRelationship = "esriSpatialRelContains"; query.outFields = ['PROID','PROGRAMMIN','COMPLETION'];[/LEFT] [/LEFT] queryTask.execute(query, new AsyncResponder(onXMLResult, onFault)); function onXMLResult(event:ResultEvent, token:Object=null):void{ [INDENT] //xml = event.result.ArrayOfTipproject.tipproject; [LEFT]var xmlListCollection:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection; xmlListCollection.source = new XMLList(event.result.ArrayOfTipproject.tipproject); [LEFT]var items:Array = []; foreach(var queryXML:XML in xmlListCollection){[/LEFT] [/LEFT] [INDENT] var obj:Object = { project:queryXML.@PROID, agency:queryXML.@PROGRAMMIN [/INDENT]} [/INDENT]} items.push(obj); [/INDENT]} ...

A little more info. Here is what I am working with right now trying to get it working. function onXMLResult(event:ResultEvent, featureSet:FeatureSet, token:Object = null😞void{ for(var i:uint = 0; i < featureSet.features.length; i++){ xml = event.result.ArrayOfTipproject.tipproject; } dgrid1.dataProvider = xml; } Needless to say, it is not working but I have just written it and am working through the errors. ...

I appriciate everyone's response and I guess I haven't explained myself. The progblem is not the service call. As I said that is working fine. Where I am having problems is creating an ArrayCollection that will populate my grid with all the records that have been selected. thanks Richard Krell Chicago Metropolitian Agency for Planning. ...
