reusing RemoteObject methods

[bfifield]

Hi,
I'm using a RemoteObject (userService.CFC) to return data to combo-boxes.

I would like to populate several arrays using the same method with different
parameters
i.e.

userService.getUsersByDept('Marketing') or
userService.getUsersByDept('Finance')

My question is, what is the best method to handle the return set?

I don't think that something like

myArray = userService.getUsersByDept('Marketing') as Array;

will work correctly, but I can't figure out how to handle populating
different arrays with something like

<mx:method name="getUsersByDept" result="handleReturnedUserResult(event)"
..../>

and keep the function and eventhandler generic. I don't want to have to
hard-code the event handler with specific cases.

Thanks, and any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

userService.cfc should return a struct with two properties. The first should
be the destination of the data (which combo box). The second should be the
query recordset.

Then when you receive the resultEvent to handleReturnedUserResult, you'll need
to check the message body's destination property to determine what combobox in
flex should have its dataProvider set. You can do this using if else
statements or some sort of dynamic evaluation.
