Your problem is that you are invoking the service on creation complete
which is before the ID variable is set.
Move the service.send() out of the creationComplete event and into the
initVars() function after you have set the ID variable.
Also, change the url parameter of your HTTPService to:
{'http://www.mydomain.com/script.php?ID=' + ID}
Otherwise your PHP script will never see it.
A few other things...
Change your event types as follows:
private function serviceResult(event:ResultEvent)
private function serviceFault(event:FaultEvent)
Change your serviceResult function to:
contentText.htmlText = event.result as String;
