You should check out the Flex Reference for HTTPService - one
parameter you can change is contentType (or something similar - check
for yourself because I have no idea what it actually is) - but you
need to change your content type to XML (the docs tell you how). I
was having issues with sending data via HTTPService when my system
was able to read straight XML, I was having to hack my way around
until I figured that one out. It's one simple parameter, then in the
send() function, you can send XML rather than an Object (array) of
parameters! :D Hope this helps!
