Subclasses Operation

An Operation used specifically by RemoteObjects. An Operation is an individual method on a service. An Operation can be called either by invoking the function of the same name on the service or by accessing the Operation as a property on the service and calling the send() method.

Public Methods
 MethodDefined By
  
Operation(remoteObject:AbstractService = null, name:String = null)
Creates a new Operation.
Operation
 Inherited
addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean = false, priority:int = 0, useWeakReference:Boolean = false):void
Registers an event listener object with an EventDispatcher object so that the listener receives notification of an event.

cancel(id:String = null):AsyncToken
Cancels the last service invocation or an invokation with the specified id.
AbstractInvoker
 Inherited
clearResult(fireBindingEvent:Boolean = true):void
Sets the result property of the invoker to null.
AbstractInvoker
 Inherited
dispatchEvent(event:Event):Boolean
Dispatches an event into the event flow.
EventDispatcher
 Inherited
hasEventListener(type:String):Boolean
Checks whether the EventDispatcher object has any listeners registered for a specific type of event.
EventDispatcher
 Inherited
hasOwnProperty(name:String):Boolean
Indicates whether an object has a specified property defined.
Object
 Inherited
isPrototypeOf(theClass:Object):Boolean
Indicates whether an instance of the Object class is in the prototype chain of the object specified as the parameter.
Object
 Inherited
propertyIsEnumerable(name:String):Boolean

Property Detail
argumentNamesproperty
public var argumentNames:Array

An ordered list of the names of the arguments to pass to a method invocation. Since the arguments object is a hashmap with no guaranteed ordering, this array helps put everything together correctly. It will be set automatically by the MXML compiler, if necessary, when the Operation is used in tag form.

makeObjectsBindableproperty 
makeObjectsBindable:Boolean  [read-write]

When this value is true, anonymous objects returned are forced to bindable objects.


Implementation
    public function get makeObjectsBindable():Boolean
    public function set makeObjectsBindable(value:Boolean):void
Constructor Detail
Operation()Constructor
public function Operation(remoteObject:AbstractService = null, name:String = null)

Creates a new Operation. This is usually done directly automatically by the RemoteObject when an unknown operation has been accessed. It is not recommended that a developer use this constructor directly.

Parameters
remoteObject:AbstractService (default = null)
 
name:String (default = null)
Method Detail
send()method
public override function send(... args):AsyncToken

Executes the method. Any arguments passed in are passed along as part of the method call. If there are no arguments passed, the arguments object is used as the source of parameters.

Parameters

... args

Returns
AsyncToken — AsyncToken Call using the asynchronous completion token pattern. The same object is available in the result and fault events from the token property.
