Thanks cisnky, It was down to the cross domain I created one on the API server and it now works. I was so sure it wasn't the cross domain as when Flex Builder compiled the swf the preview would connect without a problem plus im sure i used to get errors if flex couldnt find a croxdomain.
I would also like to thank you for informing me about Tamper Data. I dont know how I lived without it! --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, cisnky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think the service needs a cross domain. > > You can use Tamper Data a Firefox plugin to see if you app makes a request > for the cross domain when running it on your server. > > Let us know how you get on. > > On 2/6/07, bnprrsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I am currently trying to create a simple front end app which connects > > to a 3rd party API made for some backup software.
