hey, thanks guys for helping i have it working now. i googled passing flex
parameters in remoteobject as tracy suggested and the solution was just as
valdhor had suggested except valdhor missed the arguments tag otherwise this is
how it is in my remote object
<mx:RemoteObject id="remoteObj" destination="ColdFusion"
source="login_example3.cfc.login">
<mx:method name="userData"
result="concernOriginalReceived(event)"
fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString,'Error');">
<mx:arguments>
<username>{username.text}</username>
<password>{password.text}</password>
</mx:arguments>
</mx:method>
</mx:RemoteObject>
thanks again guys. keep up the good work
