I was expecting something more than null, you can convert an Object to
s String, you get [Object] or something displayed.. I was hoping for
that or something.. Anyways that was starting to become a decent read
until "We're sorry, the site area you've requested is unavailable due
to scheduled maintenance. Please try again later. "
I'll check again later.. I also noticed that the post is for Flex 3
and Carnigorm 2.3, I wouldnt think me being on Flex 2 would hinder
much.. I also intend on googling some Cairngorm examples.. until
Thanks Scott
