Tracy is right, but there is an easier way.
Change your HTTPService tag to look like this:
<mx:HTTPService id="srv" url="installation.jsp">
<mx:request>
<ID>{nameOf}</ID>
</mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>
You can still reference the srv ID from AS and call it elsewhere in your
app. But now - when you call srv it will append ID to the querystring and
add nameOf as the value to that variable.
Give that a go.
