I am updating the SWX public gateway to RC1, ahead of today's release of SWX PHP RC1. As I mentioned earlier, this will break some existing applications that use the SWX public gateway. Here are some instructions on updating your applications for RC1:

If your service method returns a simple datatype (number, string, boolean, null):

Change your client-side code to reference result instead of result[0].

If your service method returns a complex datatype (array or object), you do not need to change your code.

This change is because simple data types are no longer returned wrapped in an array.

Example

Pre-RC1:

function resultHandler(event:Object)
{
	// Simple data type is wrapped in an array
	myTextField.text = event.result[0];
}

Becomes, in RC1:

function resultHandler(event:Object)
{
	// The returned simple data type is simply the result itself
	myTextField.text = event.result;
}

I do apologize for making such a radical change this late in the beta program but it was one that simply had to be made.

Note: The SWX Data Analyzer has also been updated to display simple data types correctly.
