It works for me although it does display the alert twice - once for the eventListener you add in sendMyData and once for the result handler in the HTTPService tag.
In your result handler you should be checking the response you get back from the server and display an alert accordingly. One thing that will probably help you out a lot is to get an HTTP debugging proxy like Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com/). I use it every day. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "brucewhealton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello all, > I have been unable to figure out why something simple is not > happening in a form of mine.
