Hi, thank you for your response. I am quite new to flex, so I am not sure what you mean by "inspecting." But I have put on a trace function activated from "Button" and even if the text-contol do not render the html code in "text mode", the trace function show the string from the database correct.
Here are the code for the flex component: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" bottom="20" right="20" left="20" top="95" styleName="ViewStack" cornerRadius="6" creationComplete="init();" width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import jansInternal.ObjectProxyToAC; import mx.collections.ArrayCollection; import mx.controls.Alert; import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent; private var dreamData:ArrayCollection; private var dreamDataX:ArrayCollection; [Bindable] private var FinalText:String; private var jjACProxy:ObjectProxyToAC = new ObjectProxyToAC; private function init():void { ro_1.getData_1(1,1); // starts remote object ro_1 } private function getDreamData(e:ResultEvent):void { dreamData = e.result as ArrayCollection; // Returdata fra Dream.cfc dreamDataX = jjACProxy.resultHandler(dreamData); // jjACProxy puts ArrayCollection in OblectProxy FinalText = dreamDataX.getItemAt(0).sidetekst_1; //stores arraycollection } ]]> </mx:Script> <!-- Remote object for å jobbe med tabellen "TheSpaceOfLight" --> <mx:RemoteObject id="ro_1" destination="ColdFusion" showBusyCursor="true" source="FLEX_CC.TheSpaceOfLight.src.assets.cfc.Dream"> <mx:method name="getData_1" result="getDreamData(event)" /> </mx:RemoteObject> <mx:Panel width="699" layout="horizontal" right="20" bottom="20" top="20"> <mx:Text id="dreamText" width="100%" height="100%" htmlText="{FinalText}" > </mx:Text> </mx:Panel> <mx:Button x="104" y="597" label="Button" click="trace(dreamText.htmlText)"/> </mx:Canvas> PS: I use the same prinsiple in my first application that update tde tatabase. So when i load data from the database to the RichTextEditor via the htmlText propery, it works fine. The only difference is that the the data from the database is first received as a dataprovider for a dataGrid ann then sent to the RTE by selecting the datagrid. Tnaks again.
