Exactly what I was looking for, James! Thanks so much... The request was not being sent at all, so I stepped into the debugger. It turns out I have a WSDL error - looks like the WSDLParser is choking on a namespace, saying it's "not resolvable". It's one of those ASP.Net default "tempuri.org" namespaces. Anyone ever have trouble with ASP.Net web service namespaces?

The first is to see if any data is actually being sent out by the player to the WebService. The easiest way to do this is to use an HTTP request debugger to sniff the outgoing/incoming data. There are a lot of options out there but I prefer Tamper Data (see my previous post), mainly because it intergrates with Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/966/ What you want to do with this app (or any other debugger) is to see if the request is being sent out to the service by the player. If you don't see a request being sent out then you know that there is some problem in your Flex code or a conflict in the Flex Framework. If the data never leaves I would set a breakpoint on the send method and start stepping into the Framework code and see where it goes wrong. If you see the request is being sent but nothing is being returned then you can pursue the service and verify that its not hanging or doing something wrong. It's kind of hard to recommend other ideas without seeing your code, but I totally understand why you can't post it. -- James --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Tom Lee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yeah, I hate generic questions too, sorry about that.
