What do you use on the server side?. If you;re using java on the server side you can call a method on the server side if your http controller is properly configured.
Give us more detail with what you have on the backend, and you might want to consider using resultFormat="e4x" when you declare the HTTP service too.

Can you do an ordinary HTTPService call successfully? This: <method>"author.login"</method> Looks suspicious. It is sending a querystring parameter that looks like this: …?method=”author.login”&…. Does the url target know how to handle that? Tracy From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com ] On Behalf Of z4guyuk Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 11:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com Subject: [flexcoders] XML-RPC I have spent most of today googling and searching forums looking for an answer to this and it's getting towards that time on a Friday so my brain has given up. Does Flex natively support XML-RPC? I found 1 or 2 examples of it being used - one of them here: http://tech. groups.yahoo. com/group/ flexcoders/ message/549 and when I have been able to get the example code to work (like the above one) I have been unable to then get it to work with my own server. So far each time I have tried I get an unknown method error. One comment I found was that the webservice class would be better than the HTTPService class. If so does anyone have an example? The code I have used is this: <mx:HTTPService url="{serverSetting s.xmlRPCstring} " method="GET" id="service" result="methodResul t(true,event) " fault="methodResult (false,event) "> <mx:request> <method>"author. login"</method> <Customer>108< /Customer> <Name>username< /Name> <Password>Password< /Password> </mx:request> </mx:HTTPService> I get the result function call firing but I can't see and data. When I dig through all the variables in the debugger I eventually come across a "unknown method" string that is returned by the server. Can anyone help me with this or do I have to try and get a 3rd party AS2 library to work with Flex instead?
