OK, I'm going to be setting a few little tests that I have found difficult while picking up Flex in the hope that the knowledge will spread outwards. Every now and then, one of these puzzles will appear. Just don't expect to win anything.
So, here's puzzle No 1:
- Using the feed-squirrel webservice (details at http://www.feed-squirrel.com/webservices/fswsdl.htm) create a combo box that contains the category's available, with the data being the category ID and the label being the name. You can use mx:WebService or mx:RemoteObject, I don't mind.
Now, admittedly if you know Flex this will be easy, but if you don't it can be quite tricky (but enlightening).
Game on.
UPDATE: Yup, I forgot the crossdomain.xml. Schoolboy error on my part. Thanks to Kevin Hoyt for pointing it out.
