    copied!<p>I have a couple of remote object methods that I want to respond to in different ways depending on the context, but I'd rather not set up a bunch of different RemoteObject aliases. Any advice on doing that? Some background:</p> <p>Let's say I have an admin application that displays sales stats in different ways. The remote method looks like: </p> <pre><code>&lt;mx:RemoteObject id="rpt" destination="AMFServer"&gt; &lt;mx:method name="getSalesStats" fault="getSalesStatsFault(event)" result = "getSalesStatsSuccess(event)" /&gt; &lt;/mx:RemoteObject&gt; </code></pre> <p>The getSalesStats method takes an employee ID and a sales type as its arguments. You'd call it like: </p> <pre><code>rpt.getSalesStats(120, "peanuts"); public function getSalesStatsSuccess(e:ResultEvent):void { salesdata:ArrayCollection = e.result.rows as ArrayCollection; salesGraph.dataProvider = salesdata; salesGraphPanel.title = "Peanut Sales, 1990"; } </code></pre> <p>I want to be able to call this method in different contexts, sometimes sending the result to a chart and sometimes to a datagrid; I want to be able to change the title and type of chart depending on what the user wants. Some of what I want can be achieved by evaluating the data returned from the server; the object contains the report name, so I can evaluate that value. But some things need to change based on more than just what I get back from the server. If this was a synchronous call, it would be easy; I'd do something like: </p> <pre><code>function buttonOneClick():void { myData1:ArrayCollection = getSalesStats(120, "peanuts"); myChart.dataProvider = myData1; } function buttonTwoClick():void { myData2:ArrayCollection = getSalesStats(120, "cashews"); myDataGrid.dataProvider = myData2; } </code></pre> <p>I'd like to pass something through the remote method to the responding function, like: </p> <pre><code>rpt.getSalesStats(120, "peanuts", "clicked button one"); </code></pre> <p>but that of course throws an error because the server doesn't want that last argument. Any thoughts? I'll clarify if this is confusing.. </p>
