I've not worked with the wrpper in 2.0 yet, but I recall reading that parameters get read from a AC_OETags.js file, and not from the object tag itself.

For instance: <mx:Application ... creationComplete="initApp()" > If that is ok, confirm which html "wrapper" is being called. (e.g. Flex Builder uses separate wrappers for debug and non-debug). Also, for increased visibility into what is happening at runtime you can add a checkpoint on the initApp() method. Then you can step through the processing and possibly see in the Variables panel the contents of Application.application.parameters. Or add a trace() in the method to confirm that it is at least executing. Please post back whether or not any of this helps. hth, g On 1/2/07, g_vaccarezza <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: Hi G! Code seems to be fine, but it ain't seem to be working.
