Send the web service request
You must specify an event that sends a request to the web service for the product data. The Flex
Store functional specification approved by the client says that the product catalog must be
displayed every time the flexstore.mxml file is opened in a browser. Therefore, you must send the
web service request when the application is initialized. You decide to write an event handler that
sends the request, and then you assign the handler to the initialization event of the application.
1.
Open the flexstore_script.as file located in the fbBindings folder.
2.
Enter the following event handler function in the ActionScript file:
function initApp() {
catalogWS.getList.send();
}
