Thanks for the info. Any ideas on setting up a timer, or did I do it right? ~Steve http://lanctr.com From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew D.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex 3 / AIR: Creating a Timer and binding Text
Hi Steve, You need a [Bindable] meta tag in front of every property you need to be bindable. You only have it on callID, not callStatus. -Andy On 4/23/08, Steve Good <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > (I sent this earlier, but it never made it through, so I apologize if it > ends up being a double post) > > > > I'm trying to make a call to a remote script at regular intervals.

[flexcoders] Flex 3 / AIR: Creating a Timer and binding Text
(I sent this earlier, but it never made it through, so I apologize if it ends up being a double post) I'm trying to make a call to a remote script at regular intervals. I can get it to make the calls, but I can't figure out how to apply a timer to the second call. I thought I had figured out how to bind the data to a text object, but I'm not getting any results displayed. Here's a sample of the code. http://domain.com/dir/script1.cfm"; result="getCallID(event)"/> http://domain.com/dir/script2.cfm"; result="showStatus(event)"/> Also, the mx:text is giving this warning: "Data binding will not be able to detect assignments to "callStatus"." Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! ~Steve http://lanctr.com/ ~Steve http://lanctr.com/
