flash data integration: Using Flash MX 2004 Pro. I am setting up a web service to pass data to Flash
from Perl. I am trying to figure out how (if it is possible) to define the WSDL
type definition to make Flash understand these.

Can anyone help me with this?

Hi,

sorry, dont have an anwser - but I'm in a similiar situation, so I'm hoping
someone can anwser this for me too.

I have a Java webservice which has this .wsdl which needs a Map/Struct object
returned to the webService (an associative array?)

Can someone tell me if this is possible?
Thanks

I actually figured this out, but now I am having trouble figuring out how to
send an array of hashes...

here is the type that turned my perl hashes into flash associative arrays...

<xsd:complexType name="testHash">
<xsd:all>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" name="foo" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" name="bar" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>

unfortunately, this means that each key must be specified in the wsdl, but
that is workable for me.
for instance this gives an associative array with keys 'foo' and 'bar'.
