The problem is the nested object category.name. You can only pass simple variables, as they're converted to HTTP (e.g. name=Test&commit=Create). As taken from the FB help file:
"When you use explicit parameter passing, you can specify an object that contains name-value pairs as a send() method parameter. A send() method parameter must be a simple base type; you cannot use complex nested objects because there is no generic way to convert them to name-value pairs." So just change it to something like: <mx:request> <categoryName>Test</categoryName> <commit>Create</commit> </mx:request> -Alaric --- In [email protected], "Peter Farland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Have you tried moving your custom values as the child tags of > <mx:request> to the same namespace by prefixing them with mx: ? > Alternatively, have you assigned an id to your HTTPService and then used > script to set the request property to an anonymous Object that contains > the properties that you want to POST? > > What do you have set for the contentType?
