Jeff, hi
I am trying to retrieve item by its id. And I tried your suggestion
yesterday.
var ir:ItemReference = ds.getItem({id:userId});
Now, given the item reference (ir) how do I "connect" ir to the actual
variable (me)? When I tried me = User(ir.result); Flex started compaining.
Could you, please, give a code snippet?
Thanks a lot
