Difference between flash builder beta and flash builder beta 2 webservice.

Question

hey guys... got a quick weird question, im using a lot of webservices, and i immidiately noticed the new thing in the interospection wizard, there is a new field in the wizard called "Data type package", i was wondering what that field is exactly??
i never noticed anything like that in the previous versions of flex,
from my understanding it just sticks all the main components under "valueObjects"
Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

so let's say you have some php service and it returns a collection of objects through amf.
for example your php has something like:
$array = new array();
$car1 = new car();
$car1->year = 2009;
$car1->model = 'ford';
$car1 = new car();
$car1->year = 2005;
$car1->model = 'audi';
$array[] = $car1;
$array[] = $car2;
return $array;
well, when FB receives this data (when your return the config type) it will recognize that you're returning a collection of objects, specifically a collection of car objects that contain two properties (year:int and model:String).
FB will offer to generate the Flex car class for you and you can store this autogenerated class in your valueObject folder (or whatever folder you want).
does that answer your q??
