Application High Level Design

I am building a registration form in Flex that could have up to 120 fields for
the user to fill out depending upon what they select. They may not see some of
the items.

My thought is that I would have one registration class that has those 120
items as variables?

Then as each field gets updated, I would update that variable?

Or do I somehow bind each field to each corresponding item in the class so
that works automatically?

Then when the user clicks submit, I would validate the required fields, then I
would be posting all of the variables in that class to a hidden URL.


If anyone could suggestions or terms to research within the forums, or better
yet working examples of something that might be close to what I want to do, I
would appreciate it.


Thanks

You could use an <mx:request> tag nested inside your HTTPService tag that has
bound vars to all fields, have the AS code decide which fields to show
depending on the user's interaction (add some sweet transitions to show new
fields too!) and then upon submit, validate and just send.

So the code might look something like

<mx:HTTPService id="myService" .......>
<mx:request>
<param1>{field1.text}</param1>
<param2>{field2.text}</param2>
</mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>

Thanks Jinx!

I'll give that a try.
