why not just use a webService, and then only show an error if something is wrong.?

I am an experianced CF developer but unfortunately I cannot figure out how to proceed with data through Flex and CF. Indeed - your way is much easier to write and better to understand than the one that I have posted. I will keep that one :-) Thanks! But still... the 'fault' function in the HTTPService tag is always triggered! Even with your own way. How can I handle this? All I want is to be able to 'alert' the users that there is some kind of error (I know how to get the exact error message through the event handler) but I have no clue how to trigger this function if and only if there is some kind of problem in my CFM file. any ideas?

Of course that doesn't mean it is wrong :) But, here is how I would do it. Change button definition to <mx:Button label="Add Employee" click="callServer()"/> then public function callServer() :void { var params:Object = new Object(); params.firstName = firstName.text; ... srv.send(params) ; } hth Scott George Georgiou wrote: Hi, I have this code.
