		arguments : Object The arguments to pass to the Operation when it is invoked.	AbstractOperation
		concurrency : String The concurrency for this Operation.	Operation
		constructor : Object A reference to the class object or constructor function for a given object instance.	Object
		endpointURI : String The location of the WebService for this Operation.	Operation
		forcePartArrays : Boolean Determines whether or not a single or empty return value for an output message part that is defined as an array should be returned as an array containing one (or zero, respectively) elements.	Operation
		headerFormat : String Determines how the SOAP encoded headers are decoded.	Operation
		headers : Array [read-only] Accessor to an Array of SOAPHeaders that are to be sent on each invocation of the operation.	Operation
		httpHeaders : Object Custom HTTP headers to be sent to the SOAP endpoint.	Operation
		ignoreWhitespace : Boolean Determines whether whitespace is ignored when processing XML for a SOAP encoded request or response.	Operation
		lastResult : Object [read-only] The result of the last invocation.	AbstractInvoker
		makeObjectsBindable : Boolean [override] When this value is true, anonymous objects returned are forced to bindable objects.	Operation
		multiplePartsFormat : String Determines the type of the default result object for calls to web services that define multiple parts in the output message.	Operation
		name : String The name of this Operation.	AbstractOperation
		operationManager : Function This property is set usually by framework code which wants to modify the behavior of a service invocation without modifying the way in which the service is called externally.	AbstractInvoker
		properties : Object This is a hook primarily for framework developers to register additional user specified properties for your operation.	AbstractOperation
		request : Object The request of the Operation is an object structure or an XML structure.	Operation
		resultElementType : Class Like resultType, used to define the ActionScript class used by a given operation though this property only applies to operations which return a multi-valued result (e.g.	AbstractInvoker
		resultFormat : String Determines how the Operation result is decoded.	Operation
		resultHeaders : Array [read-only] The headers that were returned as part of the last execution of this operation.	Operation
		resultType : Class Specifies an optional return type for the operation.	AbstractInvoker
		service : AbstractService [read-only] Provides convenient access to the service on which the Operation is being invoked.	AbstractOperation
		showBusyCursor : Boolean Whether this operation should show the busy cursor while it is executing.	Operation
		xmlSpecialCharsFilter : Function Specifies a custom function used to escape XML special characters before encoding any simple content.	Operation

		addSimpleHeader(qnameLocal:String, qnameNamespace:String, headerName:String, headerValue:String):void Adds a header that is applied only to this Operation.	Operation
		cancel(id:String = null):mx.rpc:AsyncToken [override] Cancels the last service invocation or an invokation with the specified ID.	Operation
		clearHeaders():void Clears the headers for this individual Operation.	Operation
		clearResult(fireBindingEvent:Boolean = true):void Sets the result property of the invoker to null.	AbstractInvoker
		dispatchEvent(event:Event):Boolean Dispatches an event into the event flow.	EventDispatcher
		getHeader(qname:QName, headerName:String = null):SOAPHeader Returns a header if a match is found based on QName localName and URI.	Operation
		hasEventListener(type:String):Boolean Checks whether the EventDispatcher object has any listeners registered for a specific type of event.	EventDispatcher
		hasOwnProperty(name:String):Boolean Indicates whether an object has a specified property defined.	Object

Property Detail

concurrency

property

concurrency:String

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

showBusyCursor

property

showBusyCursor:Boolean

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Constructor Detail

()

Constructor

public function Operation(webService:WebService = null, name:String = null)

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Creates a new Operation.

Parameters

	`webService:WebService` (default = `null`) — The web service upon which this Operation is invoked.

	`name:String` (default = `null`) — The name of this Operation.

Method Detail

cancel

()

method

override public function cancel(id:String = null):mx.rpc:AsyncToken

Language Version:

ActionScript 3.0

Product Version:

Flex 3

Runtime Versions:

Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Cancels the last service invocation or an invokation with the specified ID. Even though the network operation may still continue, no result or fault event is dispatched.

Parameters

id:String (default = null) — The messageId of the invocation to cancel. Optional. If omitted, the last service invocation is canceled.

Returns

mx.rpc:AsyncToken — The AsyncToken associated with the call that is cancelled or null if no call was cancelled.
