Ok... makes sense. I will have to read your AS code closer to
understand what it is doing. I am very new to AS so i am slowly
learning.
The code is working, but not returning a value to the textarea.
I am watching the traffic with a program called serviceCapture and i
can see the data going back and forth, but for some reason the
text="{resultString}" in the textarea is not working.
Thanks again!
