1446 Web service classes (Flash Professional only)
The type of error object returned to WebService.onFault methods is a SOAPFault object.
This object is not constructed directly by you, but returned as the result of a failure. This
object is an ActionScript mapping of the SOAPFault XML type.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Callback function; called by Flash Player when the new WebService() constructor has failed
and returned an error. This can happen when the WSDL file cannot be parsed or the file
cannot be found. The
fault parameter is an ActionScript SOAPFault object.
Example
The following example handles any error returned from the creation of the
WebService object.
MyWebServiceObject.onFault = function(fault)
{
// Captures the fault.
DebugOutputField.text = fault.faultstring;
// Adds code to handle any faults, for example, by telling the
// user that the server isn’t available or to contact technical
// support.
}
