Send HTTPService Request in flex 3 with '-' in the URl Paramerters to get Google Feeds
- by Goysar
I am developing application in flex 3 which interacts with the Google feeds to produce my results. The URL to which i want to send request is something like this
http://books.google.com/books/feeds/volumes?q=football+-soccer&start-index=11&max-results=10
Now i can send and receive results with q parameter, but in the next two parameters has a '-' (start-index and max-results). I am using HTTPService to send the requeset like this.
SearchService.url = "http://books.google.com/books/feeds/volumes";
SearchService.method = "GET";
SearchService.contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
Here SearchService is the HTTPService
var params:Object = new Object();
params.q = searchText;
params.start-index = 11;
params.max-results = 100;
service.SearchService.send(params);
Now my flex IDE throws me a error stating 'Cannot assign a non-reference value'. Only if i send the request with this parameters, i could put pagination in my application. So how can i send HTTPService request with '-' in the URL parameters?
