Hello, I am able to do a stand-alone .mxml project using the samples you have provided and connect well to my php methods / backend database. The issue I have is when trying to deploy this as part of a Flex Data Services / Cairngorm app I can't get the remote object to allow compile or usage without error.
Anyone have a cairngorm / FDS scope example for using AMFPHP 1.9? If I do the closest equivelent of adding the relevant contents of your services-config.mxml to the already created one for FDS I get a "Destination 'AMFPHPDestination' must specify at least one adapter" error message when starting the server (Tomcat 5.5) If I do a purely-client side entry of the endpoint in the services.mxml instantiation I get other errors - and this is also not a way I want to go as the endpoint URL would be exposed. Renaud's examples don't seem to include cairngorm-ified versions as was the case in the past and I haven't managed to crack this nut.
